    P.S. is the epitome of speakeasy entrances as it's hidden inside of the Hotel Phillips. You could easily be standing right in front of the door and not even know it's there. While this speakeasy does take reservations, you can also go directly to hotel reception and ask for a table at P.S. and they can tell you if there is availability. The atmosphere here is amazing and a perfect location for date night. As for the drinks, I must recommend the Baltimore Break that is pear focused or the Fountain City which is like being smacked in the face by a lemon. This is one of the top two speakeasies in all of Kansas City, so be sure to arrive early or you might be waiting a while for a seat.

    PS is yet another awesome speakeasy in Kansas City. Located inside of the Hotel Phillips, for this one you must talk to the front desk people to obtain access. The entrance is an unmarked white door that you can actually see through the front window. They have live music and a high-end whiskey collection. The PS Old Fashioned was a treat. Not the best speakeasy in town, but it is a must-visit spot for those who seek a classy experience.

    Great for late night cocktails or date night. Been here a couple times to speakeasy if you make reservations, you get in a booth if you don't, you gotta sit at the table or the bar.

    You have to make reservations here if you want to get in. It makes it feel very exclusive and secretive. We had a very long wait for our cocktails but WOW it was very much worth the wait. PS offered a lot of local kc spirit based cocktails to choose from. I was able to share a section from their menu below. The jazz and the personality from the band was fantastic, they loved to interact with the crowd and we ended up talking with a few of them after their set. Overall a very cozy and fun speakeasy if that is your vibe.

    Ask for The Charlie Taylor. This is a mocktail our server, Taylor, and the bartender created for my wife, Charlene: Seedlip, raspberry, lime

    Make. A. Reservation. Do. Not. Miss. This. Experience. You do not want to miss this 1930's inspired Kansas City speakeasy located somewhere near the amazing Hotel Philips. Elegance, detailed, and nostalgic, we were transported back in time as we walked in to the main foyer of the hotel. In search of the PS we headed to the lower level, only to find restrooms and what appeared to be a banquet hall. We took the elevators back to the lobby. We entered the hotel restaurant and asked a server where to find the PS. She looks around and quietly says, "You need to check with..." that's all I can say! Its part of the experience! We find our secret contact. Since we were not on the list, a call had to be made to allow us entrance. We were lucky to get in. We are buzzed in and ushered through a secret door. We enter a dark stairwell, snaking our way down the dimly lit corridor until we hit the bottom of the stairwell, and enter the PS. The menu is full of spirits, specially crafted cocktails and mock tails. A great place to relax before or after a night on the town. The art deco furniture and mood lighting set the stage for a great evening gathering around friends or a romantic moment with that social someone. Taylor was our server and was simply fantastic, answering our questions, and providing suggestions for drinks. Do not let the menu full you; do not be afraid to ask if there are other drinks that may not be on the menu. We loved every minute of this evening. I did get pretty nervous once I found out that a reservation is really preferred; we simply wondered in and lucked in to a couple of seats.

    Very cool venue. Fun secret entrance. Great ambiance in the bar. Ao far so good. Bad news is it's a speakeasy where you would expect to find bourbon that is difficult to find and tonight anyway all that was available was off the shelf and marked up a lot. Old Forester 1920 $17 a pour for a $60 bottle. So great venue need to get product in that represents the venue. Not what's available on shelf marked up. Did have a good time and cool place so if you're looking for a nice spot to go for a drink and impress a friend or business partner, great spot. If you're looking for a speakeasy experience with hard to find bourbon, not so much but the bartender (working his tail off all alone) noted I was looking for something unique and found a bottle of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon! Great recovery to some initial disappointment in the selection.

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.

    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.

    I was in the area and stumbled upon this cute little spot. It happened to be open so I went inside…read more I loved all the plants and the decor. 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.

Roxy was delighful and crafted fabulous drinks and stories. The seasonal menu changes every few months and current highlights include the "Better to Sea You With" and "Chai and Mighty". The "Zombie " was potent and "Morning Wench" with rum creme, spiced rum, black coffee liquor and cinnamon is the BEST "espresso" without espresso martini I have ever had!

We ordered Old Fashioned which was what you would expect. The Suburban Sunset was different and good but a bit syrupy. I finished with the espresso martini which was very good and very strong. For food we had oysters on the half shell that were fresh and hit the spot. Next Yard Bird which is chicken meat balls. The flavor is good but they are mushy. Probably won't get them again. The chicken, steak and shrimp sticks were ok. The chicken had a rubbery texture. The star of the night was the fried lobster bites. Very good. Chicken and beef sliders were good but again the chicken was rubbery. The fries were also very good. The flat iron steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. To me it reminds me of lamb chops which I love. We finished with the 24 carrot truffle which was nice but not great. Overall we had a good time at Prime Social and would come back.
