Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes’ luxury steakhouse hits construction snag ahead of NFL season

Kansas City Chiefs icons Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes may dominate on the football field, but their latest off-field venture—a high-end steakhouse called 1587 Prime—is facing some serious delays just months before its planned grand opening.Located in downtown Kansas City’s upscale Loews Hotel, the much-hyped restaurant is being marketed as a luxury hotspot blending fine dining with a football stadium vibe. But while Chiefs fans were expecting to enjoy ribeyes and red-zone replays under the same roof by late summer, insiders say construction problems could put those plans on ice.Recent footage from inside 1587 Prime has cast doubt on whether the space will be ready in time. The footage shows exposed framing, unfinished kitchen installations, and an overall construction zone far from completion. With NFL training camp around the corner, both Mahomes and Kelce have shifted their focus to football, leaving their hospitality partners at Noble 33 to carry the weight.The global restaurant group—known for trendy destinations like Meduza Mediterrania in New York—is tasked with turning the unfinished space into a two-story steakhouse experience unlike any other in Kansas City.The vision for 1587 Prime is ambitious. Guests will enter through a “stadium tunnel” leading to a host stand and a premium meat display modeled after an Arrowhead Stadium walkout. The first floor will feature sleek kitchens and a central wine wall, while the second story boasts an open-air kitchen and bar area showing exclusively Chiefs games.Private dining rooms and a VIP suite are also part of the plan. One unique touch? A celebrity viewing area with a two-way mirror, offering high-profile guests—like Taylor Swift—privacy while soaking in the ambiance.While the menu has yet to be revealed, it’s expected to center around American steakhouse classics—porterhouse, filet, strip cuts—with a focus on luxury that’s “still accessible,” a nod to Kelce and Mahomes’ blue-collar Midwestern roots.Also Read: “The damage…is permanent”: Taylor Swift furious over Blake Lively as Travis Kelce gets caught in between the legal stormWith the NFL season approaching fast, all eyes are now on Noble 33.
