Erik RowleyOctober 7, 2016A speakeasy true and true, literally had to find it driving around a grimy alleyway. Love the stone walls and lit candles inside, just tell the mixologist what spirit you prefer and enjoy!
Dany JollyDecember 31, 2016My favorite bar in KC. Hidden and special with the best bartenders. Follow the menu or create your own boozy cocktail. Great escape!
Do not miss this speakeasy. Multiple award winning cocktails and the best atmosphere; you'll feel like you're somewhere private, (and possibly illegal!) Text for a table, and DON'T BE LATE.
Theresa O'LearyAugust 10, 2018One of the first speakeasies in town. Great cocktails with a posh atmosphere. You have to text your way in for a reservation, and enter through the back door.
Debbie YeeFebruary 5, 2019Hidden speakeasy bar located behind a restaurant. Make sure you have a reservation! But they also have a few spots for walk ins, just in case.
Glen ScottOctober 13, 2011Hands down my favorite bar in KC. Ryan, Beau and the gang know how to mix, shake and stir any drink you can think of. Brass in Pocket, Smokin' Choke & the Old Oaxacan are the way to go.
Will BertelsenApril 17, 2014This place is a proper speakeasy with a very strong and seasonal cocktail list. Talk to the bartender about what you like and you'll get something great.
Ashley M.May 27, 2016Delicious cocktails, very cool atmosphere. Definitely should be on your to-do list if you're in Kansas City!
Yosef SilverAugust 8, 2014The attention to detail here is unparalleled, down to the types of ice cubes they use for each drink. My favorite bar in KC.
Tex RitterFebruary 13, 2019Winter in Buenos Aires is terrific. So unusual and wonderful. Check out the Zombie Apocalypse.
Don't know which cocktail to get? Fear not, let the fab bartender mix something up for you. Just tell em what you do it didn't like! These guys will rock it.
Jenny L.December 29, 2015Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Shatto Blanc for your light weight friends. Good braunschweiger- Theresa O'LearyJuly 17, 2018One of the first speakeasies in town. You have to text your way in, and enter through the back door.
Mike FlemingJuly 4, 2013Must try the Smoke and Choke. Great Mix. Ask what they have off the menu, as their custom drink are awesome. :). .
Gina GaunaMay 28, 2017If you like vodka with deliciciosness@, try the stardust... even though they DON'T set it on fire, my dearest server💋
Amber HixDecember 16, 2012Incredible drink menu and great talent behind the bar... Legit mixologists are hard to come by in Kc
MatthewMarch 30, 2014Come once and you'll be hooked. Sit at the bar and watch the bar tenders work. Crazy cool.
Nathan WrightJuly 15, 2015The Beautiful Red Bell is the best cocktail in KC. Smells like a veggie garden.
Shannon FoxMay 25, 2014Loved it! great atmosphere and drinks also the staff is amazing! thanks Boom Boom!- Theresa O'LearyMay 31, 2018Speakeasy with great craft cocktails. You have to text in to get a reservation.
Kyle RohdeFebruary 24, 2013Love the place but they pick some bizarre music that doesn't fit the vibe at all. Pretty sure they're playing Goo Goo Dolls right now.
Rachel TinsleyJune 12, 2011Be prepared to spend some $, because you're not going to want to stop at one. Ladies try Anyone for Tennis, and the guys should try the Smoke and Choke. And remember, you didn't hear about it from me.
Karen BooneDecember 7, 2013Best drinks I've ever had!! Seriously worth the wait!! Thank you, Bo and Justin!!
Best bar and bartenders in America. And you can trust me. I've seen them all. Bars that is. Cheers on your next check-in.
Geoffrey SmithJanuary 30, 2013When I can't get to the Boom Boom Room in Lawrence I go to my second favorite spot in the area: Manifesto.
Jackson co. Democrat club is simply amazing. Follow it up with a good smoke n choke and you are set.
Meghan BrindleyAugust 7, 2013grab a seat at the bar & wait for them to make any drink that requires fire.
Woody ManMay 21, 2017After waiting 1,5h and seeing the lady at the doorway to let other people in,without a reservation,we decide to walk away. Probably a good bar, but will not last long with a attitude like that.
elizabeth ScottMay 14, 2011Cool underground bar. Totally secret. Totally fun. Totally great vodka cocktails.
Kyle TorresMay 23, 2012Don't be turned off by the ingredients. Point randomly at the drink menu and have fun!
The kcstreetcar is as amazing as all their drinks. A must try.
Bob SpechtAugust 11, 2014I feel like I shouldn't leave a review. Get a reservation and just go, I urge.
