A cozy spot, well crafted cocktails and nice ambiance, great spot for pre or post dinner drinks.

There is not enough division between areas, making the inside conversational noise a constant droning buzz. Hearing the person directly at your side was fairly easy. Hearing the people across the table was impossible.
Our server was polite and conversational when heard. A few drinks took too long to be delivered, but the drinks were not forgotten. (I think the bar got behind.)

Underrated and outstanding cocktails. The artistry and craftsmanship to create cocktails of this caliber is incredible. Wish I had this around the corner from where I live. If you like quality cocktails, unique and complex flavors, this is for you
Will be back every night this trip. Sozin’s Comet 💫

Came to this bar for my sister's birthday and we brought her birthday cake with us. We asked for plates and forks. At the end of the night—after nothing was said or noted—the waiter rudely asked, “Who is going to be picking up the cake-cutting fee?”
I was VERY confused and looked at him and said, “I have to pay a fee for cutting the cake that we brought?” He was snappy and said, “Yes, it’s very standard in most places to be charged for something like this.”
I have never encountered this before, and I’ve definitely brought cakes to plenty of places for birthday celebrations. What’s even more astounding than his sassy, rude attitude was the fact that they didn’t disclose that it was going to cost $25 JUST TO USE PLATES AND FORKS. Then they blamed us moving tables for the “confusion.” Even though we had the same waiter the whole time.
Keep in mind, between the 7 of us, we ordered over $200 in drinks—but the cake fee MUST be paid??? There wasn’t any confusion. It was just bad service.
I honestly wouldn’t have cared if they had the fee—just tell us upfront and don’t gaslight me at the end of the night about it. The drinks are good here, but the “better-than-you” attitude from the waiter was very off-putting.
The manager was kind and refunded us after I spoke with her, but the overall experience and the gaslighting about the cake-cutting fee definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
We came here and brought a cake to split between the 6 of us. They charged $25 for plates and forks and didn’t disclose before hand the price…even though we brought our own cake…never coming back here again.

Awesome coctail bar serving amazing drinks. There are some beers available as well. Although there are some food offerings, the food is second to the drinks.

Andy and the team were outstanding! The atmosphere was very nice but yet relaxed and inviting. They rescued us from a terrible bar experience nearby during dinner and delivered a memorable night with expertly crafted cocktails that were creative, balanced, but not pretentious. The menu offers something for everyone, and the staff know their craft inside and out. My wife and I sat at the bar and enjoyed a great evening of unique drinks and great conversations.

Great bar with great vibes and great, no, amazing cocktails. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly and professional. Drinks are delicious and unique without being gimmicky. Definitely recommend for an after dinner cocktail.

I was so disappointed in our experience Saturday night. I have been here about 10 times. The manager explained to us that they are considered a night club because they serve mostly cocktails and not food. Our server was terrible. We sat on the patio and there were 9 ladies in our group. One of us ordered an espresso martini with tequila. It was made with vodka. Several tried it and ordered what they thought was the same cocktail. The martinis were made with tequila this time and no one liked them. He admitted his mistake, but didn’t offer to replace the drinks. No one drank them and ordered other drinks and they were still charged for them. I ordered a lemon drop. He came back at one point to confirm 4 espresso martinis. I didn’t reply because that is not what I ordered. He came back and hands me an espresso martini. I didn’t order that. He said when I came over to confirm you said nothing so I assumed you wanted an espresso martini. Nope, those words never came out of my mouth. He was so put out. He was not accommodating, friendly and we all felt the service was terrible. I feel like for $17 a drink, they should be friendly at least. I think they used to provide great service. I would not go back based on the service and the vibe. They are trying to be something they are not. Super disappointed.

Weird vibe. We were asked to start a tab before ordering like it’s some college bar. Getting carded at the door in Leawood was also odd.
Drinks aren’t cheap but tasty with unique ingredients so no issues there. Prices made sense.
I doubt I’ll be back. I like to feel welcome and there are plenty of nice options in the area.

Had blackberry bourbon based drink and it was really good. Opened till late however would recommend to sit inside as there were lot of bugs/mosquitos outside. Went in August.
Very good selection of bourbon overall.(cellar, blantons, Taylor's etc..)

This bar is stunning! The bartenders and host were very kind and friendly. You can tell just by watching the bartenders work that they are incredibly skilled. The atmosphere is very classy but relaxing. I only ordered one, but every drink we saw made looked like a work of art. I ordered an aqua regia and it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. I would absolutely go again in a heartbeat.

My wife had the steamed buns, which was pretty good. Not much going on the place was pretty dead for a Friday night. Party of six had a couple of bottles of wine martinis some decent cocktails. Not very busy, but it always took a while to get the drinks. Spoiler alert don’t get too loud or they’ll come over to your table and tell you to be quiet. Evidently they have a policy about having too much fun. Won’t be back.

Felt like I got straight up robbed. The bill was higher than what I signed for, with surprise charges like a liquor tax and a credit card fee that were never mentioned. Rude and nasty staff. Pretty sure the tip was messed with too, didn’t match what I left. . Total scam , STAY AWAY from this Place.
