What closed places in KC have you visited? I'll start.
Mill Creek Brewery Tizer's Canyon Cafe Kabal Cup & Saucer Chilaca/Yvoni Baja Fresh(Ward Parkway Center) Aqua Sidney's Diner Bender's AC's Garage Porter's Have a Nice Day Cafe Club XO Pyramid Pizza Slam-r'z(or however it was spelled)
I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them.
You?

 Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
It seems like I was around that age but I'm not positive. Does anyone know what year Lucille's bit the dust?

 Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
It could not have been any earlier than 1990 because I unsuccessully hit on a waitress there that year.

 Re: Closed Bars and Restaurants
When you guys say "Sidney's," did you mean "Sydney's," the 50s-like diner slightly north of the Plaza? I loved their hot fudge sundaes because they put the hot fudge in paper cups so as not to melt the ice cream.
I just copied and pasted what others listed. I've been away so long, I don't know what has closed.
Sydney's Italian Gardens Old Spaghetti Factory Colony Lobster Pot and Steakhouse Strouds South Fedora's The Bristol Houlihans KC Masterpiece Golden Ox Trader Vic's Annie's Santa Fe Longbranch Saloon White Castle
Grinders. I think that's the name. It was on Westport. They shoved meatballs and cheese into a hollowed out hard roll and called the tasty sandwich a grinder. Maybe it's still there? Dunno.
Victoria Station. It was a series of train cars, I believe. Your legs would freeze in the winter.
Syke's Tavern at 59th and Prospect.
Is Ruby's still there? I know Ruby is no longer with us. Her food was fantastic, and so was she.

Ruby's burned about 6 years ago. Corner of Truman & Brooklyn.
Joe's Standard Bar Auditorium Bar & Grill Ely's (in Riverside) Dolce's Dinner Horn Stroud's Benny's BBQ Griff's (although there is one in Sedalia) The Villa Capri (on Independence Ave.) Eddy's Loaf & Stein
Sportster ...that's a short list
