The bar was the site of a COVID-19 outbreak in September, according to the Kansas City, Missouri, Health Department, in which at least seven employees and two patrons tested positive for the virus.
Westport Ale House had closed at that time due to the health department’s investigation into COVID-19 outbreaks.
