Parking & Safety Challenges at Boulevard

Boulevard Brewing is one of KC's most popular destinations — but limited parking and alcohol service make a shuttle the smart, safe choice for group events.

Boulevard's parking lot is small and shared between tours, taproom guests, and event attendees

The Southwest Boulevard corridor has limited street parking, especially on weekends

Brewery tour groups and taproom visitors compete for the same parking spaces

Large events exceed the venue's parking capacity, forcing guests to park blocks away

Safe transportation is essential when alcohol is served at brewery events

Shuttle Logistics & Route Planning

Our drivers are familiar with Boulevard's campus and the surrounding Southwest Boulevard area, ensuring smooth pickups and drop-offs for your group.

Recommended Pickup/Drop-off

The main entrance on Madison Avenue offers the best drop-off point. For larger events, coordinate with Boulevard's event team for access to the loading area on the south side of the building.

Route Planning

From downtown, head southwest on Broadway to Southwest Blvd, then turn onto Madison Ave. From Westport or the Plaza, take Southwest Trafficway north. The brewery is easily accessible from I-35 via the Southwest Blvd exit.

Timing Considerations

Saturday afternoons are the busiest time at Boulevard. For private events, plan arrivals during off-peak hours. Tour groups typically visit between 11am-4pm, so evening events have easier access.

Safe Return Transportation

The most important reason for a shuttle at a brewery event: ensuring every guest gets home safely. We provide reliable return transportation so your group can enjoy tastings worry-free.
