Kansas City, Missouri is set to score a new culinary hotspot thanks to two of its most celebrated athletes. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, stars of the Kansas City Chiefs, are venturing into the restaurant industry with the launch of 1587 Prime, an upscale steakhouse set to open its doors in early 2025.
This modern dining establishment, collaborating with the acclaimed restaurant group Noble 33, promises to blend fine dining with the spirit of football, offering a unique experience in the heart of downtown Kansas City.
The name 1587 Prime pays homage to Mahomes and Kelce’s jersey numbers—15 and 87, respectively—symbolizing a business partnership and a celebration of their achievements on the football field.
The restaurant will occupy a sprawling 10,000 square feet across two floors of the Loews Kansas City Hotel. It will feature private dining rooms, a chef’s kitchen, and an extensive wine collection that’s touted to be one of the largest in the state.
Fresh from celebrating their third Super Bowl victory with the Chiefs in February 2024, the duo are no strangers to fine dining and entrepreneurship. Their previous investments include a stake in the pickleball-focused restaurant chain Chicken N Pickle and the Formula 1 team Alpine Racing LTD. However, 1587 Prime marks a significant step into a larger, more ambitious venture that reflects their personal tastes and experiences.
“We’re excited to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience in our hometown of Kansas City,” Kelce stated, emphasizing the duo’s intention to bring their favorite elements of dining and hospitality to the forefront of 1587 Prime. The steakhouse’s decor will feature subtle nods to their football accomplishments, weaving their athletic prowess into the fabric of the dining experience.
The partnership with Noble 33 suggests a blend of innovation and tradition. Noble 33 is known for its expertise in creating dining spaces offering meals and memorable experiences. “This is a true partnership,” the hospitality group shared, highlighting the active involvement of Mahomes and Kelce in the conceptualization of the steakhouse. From the menu selections to the design aesthetics, every aspect of 1587 Prime is influenced by its vision and passion for excellence.
The announcement of 1587 Prime has generated buzz among fans of Mahomes and Kelce and within the Kansas City community, eager for new dining experiences. The restaurant’s focus on high-quality meats and an impressive wine selection, alongside the star power of its founders, positions it as a future landmark in the city’s culinary landscape.
As they continue celebrating their achievements on the field, their venture into the restaurant industry represents a new chapter in their off-field endeavors. 1587 Prime is not just a business venture; it’s a testament to their dedication to their community, love for Kansas City, and desire to unite people through the universal language of food.
