Its name is a nod to Kansas City's nickname 'City of Fountains' and the space aims to be for the LGBTQIA+ community. 'It’s elevated to a point that anyone can come, anyone can be here they can experience anything,' Ryan Overberg, managing partner and operating director of Fountain Haus said.
The Fountain Haus calls itself the largest 'queer and ally spaces' in the region. Its neon lights welcomes visitors to the heart of Westport.
