    The drinks are great, and the place itself is really cute--but the service can be hit or miss. I've been here several times, since my initial visit, and my experience has varied depending on who's working. The first few visits were fantastic, thanks to a particular waitress/bartender who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience enjoyable. When she wasn't there on later visits, the service just didn't measure up. Even when the owner was present, the vibe felt off and not nearly as welcoming. I'll probably be back because I enjoy the drinks, but I'll think twice if that original server isn't working. The right staff really does make all the difference.

    Very cool little spot with a massive selection of fine whiskeys. I'm a big old fashion fan and every drink I've tried has been well made, smooth, and aesthetic. Great service with very attentive and friendly staff!

    This is a beautiful cocktail bar in a really cute little area with drinks that are hand crafted and delicious. I've not explored independence, being from Olathe, and was so glad initially to have stumbled upon this gem. They have a pretty expansive list of spirits and cocktails to choose from. I opted for the NA Negroni. The atmosphere is just perfect. It's a fairly quiet place, we were on of the first ones when we first came in at 9p, and by the time we left, it was near full. My cocktail was delicious! And my friends enjoyed their whiskey beverages as well. We had a lovely time just yapping. Customer service was superb, we were checked in often. So why the 2 star review? It came time to pay and I noticed it after my card was taken away. My NA Negroni was listed as 10$ on the menu. It was the reason why I chose to try it, it seemed affordable for NA. When the check came, I was charged 12$. I informed staff that they may want to re do their menu, because I wasn't getting charged correctly. I really thought that the response was going to be "oh let us fix that for you! So sorry!!!" I was met with "thanks for letting us know!". I ended up paying almost 15$ with tax and my 1$ tip for a NA beverage, when the alcoholic beverages are at that same price. So unfortunately, while I found the perfect little hang out, I will not be returning. The told price and the ring up price for a drink aren't accurate. I would have just gotten a soda instead had I know that I wasn't going to be given truthful service. Also, the moment we sat down, the person who took our order told us he would be feeling better if it was midnight (because that's when they close). That doesn't feel great when you first sit down...

    Well isn't this cozy. My first thought when visiting. The Sentinel Room is a charming lounge where you can share secrets and tell stories over handcrafted cocktails. Plus the charcuterie boards will put a smile on everyone's face. It's not only stunning but very fresh, sweet and savory. Match made in heaven.

    Great quality and detail put into the drinks. Not your basic bar. The atmosphere helps set the high end vibes

    The Mercury Room is quickly becoming a weeknight fave for me and my friends! A little known tip is…read morethat you can text their number to see if they have any patio or weeknight spots open for walk-ins. The servers and bartenders are so fun throughout the week, and are willing to talk through the drinks and provide some wonderful details and recommendations. The atmosphere is unmatched across Kansas City. You won't find a cooler interior with the lights and ceilings with a beautiful view of the city, but the lesser known star of the location is the patio seating, with great views of the skyline. My friends and I have tried most of the drinks, but the Enfleurage, Magnus, Ambrosia and Kashi are favorites of the latest menu.

    We went to Mercury Room after dinner and did not have reservations. Luckily, bar seats became…read moreavailable due to a cancelled reservation. Unless you want to stand by the windows with a shelf as a table like outcasts, I would suggest making a reservation. The interior is beautiful. The lights on the ceiling mimic a starry night, visible through the glass windows from the street below. To enter you'll have to meet the host outside the bar on the 1st floor (currently Jade Jaguar). The host will send you up to the Mercury room via elevator, where you will be greeted by a server who will lead you into the gorgeous space. The space has 4 couches for larger parties, a few tables for seating, about 6 bar seats and a couple shelf tables for the unprepared outsiders without reservations (us). You will also be greeted with a complimentary tiny glass of kombucha. We didn't order food, but the drinks were delicious and unique. Mercury Room is a great place to stop by on a date night. Side note: This is the first place in Kansas City where I actually felt underdressed so if you want to dress up and go somewhere with a matching atmosphere of luxury, this is the place.

    We live just down the road from Quaint in one of the near by neighborhoods. We love the vibe and…read moreatomosphere, love that it is close to home so we don't have to drive or uber to places in Overland Park, or Downtown, it nice that we can pop-in just to get out of the house to enjoy some really great cocktails, they do themed experience at times which we love, have done a few themed experiences in Scotland. We first visited in 2024 and it has become or local go-to when the wife and I want cocktail outside of the house. The staff is really friendly and because of them they give it a kinda of Cheer's vibe, cause they recognize their return patrons every time.

    Met a friend here after work and was surprised at how cool it is. The ambiance is swanky and sexy…read more Nico the bartender is friendly and knowledgeable. 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.
