Honestly I didnt want to make the review, I wanted to gatekeep..but this place is a contemporary and small but never super packed because its more sipping and fancy rather than typical bar behavior.
It’s very nice especially for holidays. I LOVE that it isnt big bc its almost intimate with very nice drink. The holiday new staff makes the drinks and its not as good as the permanent staff but still worth it. Have a few drinks and walk around and see the lights. To me. I’ve found this 2 months ago and have been back 3 times- go before 8pm to secure a spot ( max party size is 6).
Be classy.
Drinks I’ve had ill upload below.
– Golden apricot sour 8 out of 10. It was really nice but reminded me like a sweet golden cough drop taste( to some people’s liking just not mine).
-Lavender lemon haze 9 out of 10- its and second time was amazing 3rd time was good- temp staff made it the 3rd time.
-indys ice water 8 out of 10. Very refreshing temp staff made a little too lemony but still really good.
Pomegranate cherry mule 10 out of 10 super flavorful.
– Smokey the bear Very strong. A sipping drink very smoky but delicious!
Food – charcuterie is super cute and delicious and little pricey for me but good!

We went in on a Wednesday night, just the right size crowd. Sampled four different old fashions from the menu of 35 different old fashions and a cheese charcuterie board. Everything tasted amazing. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The atmosphere made you feel like you were in a cozy bar with great leather furniture and deep rich colors.
We will definitely be back.

The best cocktail bar in the KC area! The staff is knowledgeable about Whiskey, the drinks are creative and affordable, and the selection is huge. It’s a fun cozy environment designed to remind of a speakeasy where you can relax with friends. Truly the best place to grab a drink!

My hubby and I went for a drink and quick bite as a little romantic treat.
We really appreciated the moody atmosphere and the cool vibes. It has a super great speakeasy type aesthetic.
I’m not much of a whiskey drinker, but I found another great cocktail go enjoy. My hubby got one of the DOZENS of old fashioneds available. We shared a tasty flat bread and it was just right. A perfect little date night.
The space is fairly new, so service was a little slow. But we were told most of the staff was new (one was their first night) so I’m sure that will iron out as it moves forward. Just be ready to be a little patient and remember to support local!

Amazon food and drinks, especially the wide selection of old fashioneds!
I had the Godfather and the Third Eye plus a chicken ranch flatbread (pictured in this review). Everything was great!
Kelsey did an excellent job; she made all the drinks AND food while providing impeccable service. I will definitely be back!

Excellent whiskey and cocktail house on Independence square. There is nothing like the anticipation of the smoke and the flavor of the Don, or B’s Cabin. Great selection of whiskey and bourbon. All the regulars plus some local you might not have tried before.

Just heard about this place so my husband and I stopped by to try it out as we love whiskey! We were blown away with how amazing it was! Their whiskey selection is great and they did a wonderful job with the menu. They have 30 different old fahsion cocktail options as well as many other types of drinks. They also have a well organized flight menu! The staff was so nice and the vibe is very cozy and welcoming. Great that it’s on the square by shops and restaurants. Can’t wait to come back!
