J.B. Morris, of local country-rockers Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys, calls this honky-tonk the last great venue in Kansas City. From tough-guy Dale Watson to the sweet and sexy Eleni Mandel, a variety of country and folk stars have been through Daveys Uptown. The owners have let the grime accumulate over the years, giving the bar a working-class feel that makes the rockabilly crowd feel right at home. Retro cowboys who like to accessorize with wallet chains and greasy trucker caps love it here. The bar sells Schlitz in a can for $1.50, and though smokers arent exactly encouraged to throw their cigarette butts on the floor, it sometimes happens anyway. The stage area is partitioned from the barroom, so even when a hyped show has drawn newcomers from all over the area, a crowd of regulars is almost always staked out at the bar.
