    TLDR: Not everything we ordered was amazing but I'd definitely come back to try everything! 4.5/5 Thai-Mexican?! I'd definitely never had that combo before! I love Thai food, I love Mexican food; what could go wrong?! Turns out, absolutely nothing! While not everything blew my mind hole (the cauliflower was just ok), I loved the wings and the empanadas, and the birrias were PHENOMENAL!! I wish we'd ordered the burgers bc they looked amazing. Guess we'll just have to come back. Our server was super friendly and chill, but he kept forgetting things lol. Which, it's alright, bc we weren't in a hurry or anything but after like the 3rd time, we were like "bro, can we please maybe write things down?". Would still come back for the food.

    Suffering bastard cocktail

    Muni never disappoints! The best food item that we ordered was the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. They came with a delicious Asian sauce. The tacos were not as good as we had hoped. The chicken sandwich had two cutlets on it- lots of protein! French fries were delicious and mocktail/cocktails were great as well. We went at 5 oclock so just missed the happy hour, but service was quick and staff were friendly

    Excellent cocktails! Small menu selection but incredible choices.

    Found this place while searching for a restaurant in the river market area. The website had great photos of the food. Choices were unique and sounded delicious. Our party of three arrived and was sat immediately. We were sat at a table in the bar area. Cool vibes with murals, plants and great music. We ordered cocktails, appetizers and entrees. All were delicious. Since it was our first time, we asked our server lots of questions and for recommendations. She was very helpful. I didn't see an item on the menu that I'd seen on the website. She said their menu changes seasonally and often. Great reason to visit again! Overall, a great dinner spot for casual dining with elevated food and cocktails.

    Birria beef ramen
    Isabella D.

    Another visit to Muni means trying new things! I came with friends to split some apps and drinks, and this is definitely the perfect place for that type of night. We tried the birria dumplings and birria beef ramen (to keep a theme lol) and both were SO good. I also had the Havana Club cocktail which was a nice and smooth gin based cocktail with a punch of lemon-- loved it! The vibes in here are always great, and I love having it as a fun option in the River Market.

    Get the southwest salad
    Erica J.

    The Southwest Asian Salad {black beans, roasted corn, romaine, crispy noodles, radish, pico de gallo, pickled onions, pepitas, cumin & date vinaigrette} is delicious and amazing. Please keep it around forever.

    City Market Rice Bowl
    Shane G.

    We went to Muni for the first time and it wont be the last. The setting is vibrant and trendy with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. The entire menu looked amazing but we settled on the Rice Bowl and the Kow Soi Beef. Both were unique and delicious. The Kow soi beef is in a delicious coconut curry sauce and delicious noodles. The Rice Bowl is loaded with braised pork, pickled onions and a delicious spicy sauce to drizzle over it all. My wife had the Cock and Bull cocktail and said it was delicious. This is definitely an asian fusion restaurant that you will want to try.

    Muni is such a great spot for friends who love to eat family style! You can order half the menu and try bites of everything. Those Birria Dumplings with the sauce!! We each liked one a little better than the next and left super satisfied. I dig the low boy barstools on the back half of the bar!! Cool dark, date night vibes in the evenings and they had a fun toy drive donation for discounts last holiday season. Check it out! Great location with tasty snacks.

    Pork Belly Breakfast Sando, Breakfast Empanada
    Grace Y.

    Muni killed it with their brunch. The Pork Belly Breakfast Sando was very fulfilling and the porkey belly was oh so tender. The Breakfast Empanada had a good flaky crust and the dragon sauce that it came with was *chef's kiss*. Seriously, so good. I'd say the potatoes could use some work - it lacked flavor (aside from some salt on top) since they were big chunks. Still though, 10/10!

    The bloody Mary with the chili basil infused vodka - if you like spicy this is ACTUALLY SPICY
    Kimberly G.

    I met up with some of my girl friends over the weekend to get lunch and we decided to try out muni because none of us had ever been, but we had all heard really great things. Firstly, parking can easily become a nightmare because it is right next to River Market, however after two loops around the block I managed to get a spot right out front! (Expect to pay to park no matter where you find a spot down there). They weren't too busy when we came in, so we were immediately sat in Jordan's section. Our service was absolutely outstanding, if you ever come here ask for Jordan because she was such a joy, very attentive to our drinks and had great recommendations. For drinks I got the bloody Mary and tried with the infused chili vodka - this may be the first time I was told a bloody Mary was spicy and it ACTUALLY had quite a kick to it. Definitely in my top 3 bloodys in KC now. For food, my best friend and I order the pork belly breakfast sandwich and the Chinoquiles, and we shared so we could try both! Who knew Thai and Mexican flavors meshed so well!! Everything was incredible, the sandwich had the most tender, not overcooked pork belly. The coconut curry sauce in the chinoquiles, so many wonderful flavors in every bite. We will absolutely be back, because we want to try the normal non brunch menu!!

    Nachos
    Christina P.

    We snagged a last minute reservation for 8 on Christmas Eve and had a blast! The server was warm and helpful, despite working on a holiday evening. Our table enjoyed the Empanadas, Birria dumplings, and loaded nachos for starters. Everything was full of flavor and delicious. I ordered the special shrimp and rice dish and my husband had the Smash Dat Muni burger. Both were also tasty. The restaurant is down in the City Market area and is cozy and unique. They have a corkage fee but were so kind to wave it as a holiday gift. I definitely recommend Muni!

    Shirley T.

    Ambience: Welcoming interior with warm undertones in decor. Service: Friendly, no complaints! Taste: Tried the chive cake, birria dumpling, and tri thai tacos. The chive cake was flavorful and delicious, with a gooey inside and crunchy outside. The birria dumplings were great! The tri thai tacos were good, but I don't understand what made it "thai." Overall, good fusion restaurant, would recommend!

    Bloody Mary
    Cally R.

    Finally made it down to Muni after seeing amazing Insta reels for weeks. Super cute place inside! We sat at the bar and had amazing service with Ben! Tried the Bloody Mary (great with a hint of spice!), Duck Duck Muni along with the Chorizo Rangoon during brunch. Great drinks and app. Can't wait to come back and try dinner. Ben was excellent!

    Birria dumplings
    Ashlynn J.

    We stopped by for a couple of apps and WOW! Muni did not disappoint. The birria dumplings and nachos were phenomenal! Great flavors and a really cool vibe. 10/10 highly recommend!

    Holy...OMG. Come here, come here, come here…read more By some spark of light and luck we start the Valentines Day evening here. Drinks we got: - No Fly Zone - Off the Rails - Mr. Collage - Mescal Espresso Martini I got a cocktail caviar bump which - YES! Appetizer burritos complimented everything. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to sneak us in, and I couldn't be happier!! You must come here.

    I've driven past the Fern Bar countless times, but had never stopped in. Truthfully, I knew next to…read morenothing about it. That changed yesterday, when Diana Condori, the bar manager, was named a 2026 James Beard Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service semifinalist. As we love supporting restaurants and bars that receive that kind of recognition, my wife and I headed to Fern Bar that evening. I was especially curious what exactly a "sugarcane and agave bar" meant. We arrived around 5:30pm and found only a handful of guests inside. After congratulating the bartender who first served us, he mentioned that Diana was working that night and would stop by to meet us. During our conversation, Diana shared that she didn't even know she had been nominated. She woke up Tuesday to a call from owner Bryan Arri, who said he had big news and was coming over. Her first thought was that something terrible had happened--like the bar had burned down. Instead, he showed up with coffee and told her she was a James Beard honoree. Diana is originally from Bolivia and has lived in Kansas City most of her life, with the exception of time spent in San Francisco during the pandemic. She further refined her cocktail craft through local pop-ups in Kansas City under the name Condor's Cove. When Bryan was preparing to open Fern Bar, he reached out to bring her onto the team. The printed cocktail menu immediately reminded me of the Monarch and the Mercury Room--not surprising given Bryan's background at Manifesto and the Monarch. Thoughtful, intentional, and clearly designed for people who appreciate serious cocktails. We planned on having one or two drinks but ended up staying for three, thanks to an outstanding lineup and a memorable conversation with Diana. We tasted: * No Fly Zone - Rum, agave, pineapple foam * Mr. Collage - Smooth, elegant, egg-white cocktail * Three Negroni Lunch - Bitter, boozy, and beautifully balanced * Pendergast No. 4 - Complex and spirit-driven * It's Bananas - Banana liqueur with bright tropical notes * Off the Rails - Creative and well-executed rum/agave cocktail One downside of many cocktail-forward bars is the lack of food, but Fern Bar offers two varieties of mini burritos for $4--just enough protein to keep things balanced while indulging. Great concept, exceptional service, and truly memorable drinks. Check it out--and be sure to say hello to Diana.

The space is smallish but they do have bar seating in addition to seating throughout. The service was friendly and the drinks were great. They don't offer food, but they do offer cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. I went on a Sunday and they have a special menu called "Almost Monday." It's a smaller, simpler cocktail menu and the prices are very fair compared to other cocktail spots. I tried the Caipirinha (pineapple) and the Negroni sour. Both were good. My favorite between the two was the Negroni. It had a pretty color and wasn't too sour or strong. I'd def recommend it and get it again. Definitely stop in and check out this cute spot in Shawnee.

When you arrive there is parallel parking available outside the bar. When you walk in you'll feel like your bright, vibrant, and feels incredibly welcoming. Also, they have some really fun drinks as well that have been thoughtfully put together. We ended up sitting at the bar and I started with the Reformed Porn Star (vanilla vodka, bronson's tropical milk punch, passion fruit, Prosecco, citric acid and popping boba) which was by far my favorite drink and felt like I could have drank a couple more of these. Second I tried the Neo Cosmo (white rum, strawberry, cacao, coconut, rose hip, lime, bubble) which was good and was a fun drink with an ice cream shaped cup and a bubble on the top (meant to look like an ice cream cone). If you are in the area, this bar is a must try, the bartenders were awesome and took good care of us. Between the creative cocktails, fun atmosphere, unique floral setting, this was a memorable experience I'd definitely return for.
