Amazing drinks in a very unique setting. You actually go in a basement of a bar and all the lights are turned off the whole time -- all part of the ambience and what sets it apart. But it also has a reputation for some of the best drinks in KC.

A new distillery in an amazing space. They've renovated it and it's beautiful, but they also make great drinks using their three spirits: gin, whiskey, and vodka.
Some favorites from my friends and me: Aviation, the Indecent Gimlet, Royal Gold Old Fashioned, the Gandy Dancer. Also, try the french onion grilled cheese appetizer!
