Goat & Rabbit Kansas City, Guide & Review

The nicknames of the “Goats & Rabbits” originated in Kansas City in the days of Rabbit boss Joe Shannon and Goat boss Tom Pendergast. In the early 20th century, many of the Irish and various immigrant followers of Tom’s brother, Jame Pendergast, lived on “the Hill” or the West Bluffs of KC. 

One account is that someone in Shannon’s camp called the Pendergast people “Goats”, who then reciprocated by calling Shannon’s friends “Rabbits” because they lived along the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. While there were political tensions between the two factions, they ended up coming together in significant ways, eventually sending Shannon to Congress and giving Pendergast and his friends a 5/9 majority on the city council.

Kansas Citians also straddle the state line with friends and family who live on both sides of the state-line. With the Goat & Rabbit location situated on the state-line they want to be home to all residents both Kansas and Missourians.
