• The Gaf has closed its doors.

The Gaf (7122 Wornall) poured its last Guinness on Saturday. The Waldo pub and bar closed after eight years in the former Romanelli Grill space (Charles Ferruzza wrote about the spot’s stylish upgrade back in 2005). The Irish pub’s owners, Ray Dunlea and James O’Brien, still operate Mike’s Tavern & Cantina Del Chef (the former Cantina Del Ray imported from Waldo in 2012) at 5424 Troost. The Gaf was a place to get shepherd’s pie, catch a soccer match, or sit out on the patio with a whiskey on a warm night and watch the traffic on Wornall.
