The Love for Food!

We use only the finest and freshest ingredients in all of our infusions. All of our recipes are rigorously taste tested to tantalize your palate. Our food menu is New/Progressive American cuisine, highlighting flavors from multiple regions to satisfy everyone's cravings. We like to consider our place upscale, yet casual. Romantic, but edgy.

Dan McCall
OWNER
For 18+ years, Dan has been working in some of Kansas City’s oldest establishments including Coach’s, Stroud’s, and the Classic Cup. Starting off as a bus boy and working his way up with some of the great mentors that work at those historic restaurants, he has now found his own niche in the Kansas City restaurant scene. In 2013 Jason and Dan opened District Pour House in Waldo with attention to Modern American Cuisine as well as a strong Craft Cocktail Menu.

Jason Rourke
OWNER
Jason was born & raised in Prairie Village, KS. He graduated from Shawnee Mission East in '96 and studied Food and Beverage at JCCC.
From his humble beginnings as a dishwasher at age 14, he made the move to server and then found his home behind the bar. It was there Jason acquired a passion for creating cocktails. He has bar-tended, managed and developed drink menus and bar design for a few local establishments. It was always a lifelong goal to have the opportunity to open his own place. Jason met Dan & for years talked about making the leap into ownership together. Both living and loving the Waldo and Brookside area, when the right space became available, they jumped on it and the rest is history. Going on his 27th year in the industry, Jason hopes this is just the beginning!
