First time in. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant because I've been to several Speakeasy's that weren't great. This one was fun from the minute we walked in. One of the owners let us in and gave us the history of the buildings and their opening. Really nice guy. That place has one of the best bartenders around. She was rocking several drinks at a time and didn't miss a beat. She was super nice and also provided info on the place. Good drinks, great pours and very good experience.

I was in town for a wedding and a friend of mine brought me to this little gem in Gardner. I was so impressed upon walking in with the telephone and code to get in. Then, the ambiance and decor were top notch. The owner approached us and gave me the history of the bar and literally the backdrop of the bar where all of the liquor was placed. He was really a cool guy and the vision is unreal. The drink menu has so much to offer. Do NOT sleep on The Forge. Get there and bring friends!

I'm a cigar aficionado and until recently I have avoided the local cigar shops, as they seem to be…read moreeither dirty or have the ambiance of a hipster hotel lobby. I've heard about this place, but I avoided it until recently, opting for either Omaha Cigar or Safari, both great Omaha establishments. I was content to smoke on my back patio by myself, but a good friend asked me to join him and I agreed. First off, it's a cool building with a lot of history. It used to be a garage, probably built in the 1910's or 20's, so very rustic. The owners put a lot of thought into it, from the specially made leather chairs, some huge, some diminutive so you don't have to feel like you're in one of those chairs at Silver Dollar City that everybody gets their picture taken in, to the special glass, HVAC, Humidor, etc... you can tell this was a labor of love. Secondly, the service is excellent! From the tobacco experts that will guide you through the humidor to the people who work in the 2 attached establishments. There is a speakeasy next-door, just pick up the phone at the front door, say "Joe sent me" and you are allowed into one of the finest drinking establishments in the 5 county metro, replete with all of your favorite beers and craft cocktails that are out of this world! Then, you have the Bellows, an outdoor, intimate music venue that sports 2 firepits, a stage, heaters for those cold nights, and plenty of seating. I was lucky enough to find out about an event that they were having with Toscano Cigars, where for a paltry sum we were treated to the history of that company, a package of cigars, cutters, lighters, and some great Italian food. Then we watched the full length version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It was an event to remember. After my 3rd visit, I realized that this is a family. People from all walks of life are regulars and they're all friendly. I think that their motto should be "Where everybody knows your brand

They do special events where they have live music or food trucks or themed events. It's definitely worth checking out for anybody looking for something to do in Gardner.

Located at the edge of Kansas in the great city of Tonganoxie; this 115 Year old business is…read morerecently reborn as a active bar catering to the night life in this quaint small town. Currently just serving drinks, including many exotic cocktails this eclectic former Chicken Restaurant, Bus Stop, Hotel, Beauty Parlor, Apartment building has expansion plans for the future, but the present has never looked better. Come and have a drink in the Cafe that was the inspiration for William Inge's play "Bus Stop" The locals are glad to see you arrive and sad to see you go and the owners are always present. The Hotel is defining itself as it goes so call ahead to get the details.

Using fresh herbs and from her garden and locally grown veggies and meats for her charcuteries boards, Kate created the very best experience for her customers every single time. She also brought unique live music and arty classic movies to an otherwise quiet little town. Sadly, the bar closed due to the impact of COVID and the Shut Down. Kate, and her tasty drinks, food, and fantastic experiences, are sorely missed by this regular and many many more.
