Hands down the best and most inventive cocktails we had while visiting Kansas City! And who knew…read morethey would be located in an unassuming underground speakeasy situated on a corner at the edge of downtown KC in what some may consider a slightly seedy part of the city, especially at night...and even with all that, it is 100% worth a trip in! We found this spot on Yelp, of course, and made the trek on foot from one side of KC to here. In hindsight, we should have Uber'd or taken the rail car to get us closer, but lessen learned... As noted, the building is unassuming and the only giveaway to their location is the patio filled with seating, lights and fire pits, plus the large door with initials on it. But you definitely have to be looking for this spot to find it. Upon entry you take an immediate right and head down the stairs where you are greeted then led into bar area. There are several varieties of seating set ups from cozy plush seats, to communal high tops, side tables and a small bar with a few bar stools. We lucked up and grabbed a few seats at the bar, which were easily the best seats in the house. I was after an espresso martini and I heard this place had a phenomenal one, but before I enjoyed that as my night cap, I went with The Lovers, which is an baked pie whiskey based drink that was absolutely delightful and tasted like a warm apple pie over ice! It was much smoother than anticipated and was very easy to drink. Once I got through that, for round two I went classic espresso martini which was absolutely divine! Classic, smooth, a little bite, three beans and all the warm and fuzzies this drink brings! The cocktail menu is impressive and filled with lots of creative, inventive and fun cocktails. There is a legit something for everyone. They are a cocktail bar, but they have a few snacks including mixed nuts and a charcuterie board on the menu as well. We didn't have either, but the boards looked tasty when we saw them pass us by. Service was excellent. The bartenders friendly, engaging and clearly passionate about cocktails. They made our time at the bar a bit more enjoyable beyond just sipping our drinks! Overall, absolutely stellar spot for cocktails in Kansas City! Add it to your list now!

Best first impression ever was seeing her smiling face upon arrival. We love a good speakeasy and this place does it right.

We look forward to trying out the new patio soon! Thanks for a wonderful date night!

A good friend told me, though, that the cocktails were exquisite and that there was a waiting list for limited memberships. Needless to say, I was intrigued. I was immediately impressed upon entering. Plenty of comfortable seating (we're talking couches and easy chairs), soft ambient lighting, and a kind of quiet mystical aura make it a charming spot to gather with friends and discuss the latest Love is Blind or sit quietly by yourself, writing the poetry of your soul. The two drinks I had were, indeed, fabulous. They have beer and wine as well. Some snacks, too! The drink menu is not extensive, but it is ever-changing, like a good speakeasy will do. The bar staff were all super friendly, helpful, and adept at making spectacular concoctions. The place is open to the public but they also have memberships which gets you a free drink each month and other perks. One in particular is that you get your very own drawer, all of which are located on the front of the bar. I have no idea what a member does with his very own drawer but i find that I am beguiled and must have one for myself. Alas, there is a waiting list, but someday...

Lots of different types of seating - bar, comfy chairs and table with chairs in a space that will hold about 80. The drinks are a little spendy about $16 and no happy hour pricing. I had a stirred dirty vodka martini. It was good but I prefer shaken martini that skates (iykyk). My friend ordered an fireside old fashioned. The rum made it sweeter and the cinnamon stick was a nice touch. The menu offers several old fashioned and martini options. They also offer some lite bar bites for snacking. If you live in Olathe and like cocktails this is definitely worth a stop. If you don't - it's quite the drive and there are other bars probably closer and just as cool.

Two of the three girls working the bar and tables were new, one only her second day and they were SWAMPED! So service was a little slow and some drinks made by the new girl were a little off but she was super friendly and was honest and upfront that it was her first time making some of these drinks and we were just grateful she was trying so service was able to move faster. The raved artichoke dip is WORTH IT!! We literally scraped the bowl clean!! Entrees were all good and to make up for the craziness of the evening either the owner or manager seemed to notice and apologized by offering our table a massive slice of their bread pudding and ice cream on the house It was a very sweet gesture and for that reason I would probably return to give them another try
