50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lenexa

“Caitlin did a marvelous job during my visit today. She paid close attention to the imperfections on my head and made the necessary adjustments to make my experience unique and wonderful. Thank you very much, I will be a repeat customer.“

“Thanks Lola for your wonderful service and delicious cocktails! And especially for a fun night for me and my visiting family/friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ate here last night and this restaurant is a "must try!" I had the 12 oz. KC Strip, mashed potatoes, garlic green beans, and... for dessert, apple caramel bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream was to die for! The atmosphere was a bit loud for my taste, but aside from that, it was delightful!“

“Merci was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great job!“

“Was really good! Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. Came in during Sunday happy hour after 4 and was told all cocktails are $2 off, however got charged full price for one of hours. Bartender was too busy to ask about it after we got the itemized receipt. Overall, delicious. Just wish we would have gotten the full special.“

“This place is great! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and it's a very cozy, tucked away space!“

“The owner is so friendly, the drinks are sooooo good. Fun atmosphere, come check it out!! Great girls funday spot!!“

“Great food, better staff, good prices and AWESOME food!! Drinks are really unique too!!“

“They have the most unique drinks I have ever seen. One even comes in a little trash can 😂. Staff is super friendly. Small place, easy to miss so look carefully when you arrive. Highly recommend!“

“Food is really good, I've ordered many times from them but my last order included an $8.25 fee for carry out supplies. They charge a percent of the entire bill. No where in the check out process do they tell you this. This seems excessive for 6 utensil packs and 5 takeout containers. Many other BBQ places with similar price points do not charge this fee. If you are going to charge extra fees be up front about it.“

“This is by far one of the best dive bars around! Well worth it and everyone is friendly and fun!“

“I’m in town on a long business trip. I was looking for a bar just like this one : not a generic chain bar, small, mainly locals, pool table….this bar is awesome. Within an hour I was chatting to the very friendly local patrons and playing pool. The lady working the bar was so nice and welcoming. I’ll be back for sure before I head out of Kansas. Oh, the beers on tap are freakin’ HUGE! I didn’t eat anything, so not sure about the food menu here.“

“Delicious! Meddys just recently got high praise for KC Mediterranean restaurants on NPR and decided to try it out! Totally worth it! Great food, ambiance, and staff!“

“Great atmosphere! Great coffee!“

“Great music!!! I was there Friday night and the community atmosphere was electric!“

“AMAZING Staff, Great DJ Entertainment & A Very Grown & Sexy Classy Environment!“

“Flo’s is an institution of Waldo. Gotta come here and join the family.“

“Phenomenal use of herbs and spices to enhance quality meats, fishes, and vegan dishes. Have eaten here twice with zero complaints. The lamb is out of this world! Burnt ends, Filet, Shrimp, Smash Burger, and Scallops were a big hit.“

“Fantastic atmosphere. The cocktails were delicious and so BEAUTIFUL! ❤️🍸“

“Great place, atmosphere, doing it again! #RushTraining“

“Grace Jeffries was amazing and very fun! Thank you Grace! Digging the mullet! 😜“

“This was a great choose for a small relaxed family dinner. 4 stars for food, only because some meal portions were smaller than desired for the price however hats off to the cook the evening of 07/11/26; the flavor and presentation was perfect. 3 stars for service just because our hostess could have been more welcoming; personable and informative about the menu offerings etc, maybe she's just not the talking type who knows but everything else about the visit here was much enjoyed.“

“I didn't know what to expect coming here but it was great. I learned to play Reign of Cthulhu and Exploding Kittens while having the best loaded nachos.“

“Patrick's is a great neighborhood bar. Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, music is great, lots of tvs to watch sports, an outside porch and great snacks. I always have a great time when I go! My favorite bartender is Jennifer!“

“Great tacos on Thursday and very friendly staff!!“

“Five stars because I love this bar and it’s my go-to dive bar. I will say this though because I’d never want to ruin a star rating but I feel strongly about saying that the bartender working on Memorial Day evening around 8:45 reflects the opposite of what hospitality should be. I asked for a Negroni (a three ingredient, equal part drink) and the bartender laughed and said you aren’t a cocktail bar. Of course and that’s why I love Chez, but I thought I’d ask. The bartender didn’t even look up at me, zero eye contact for me and the other two members of my party. It would’ve been so simple to kindly suggest another option or at least smile, but it felt so extremely unapproachable and unkind. I’m very familiar with the bar scene in Kansas City and frequent chez Charlie, but was disappointed in the complete lack of warmth or friendliness. Genuinely impacted my night in a negative way and that just stinks! Let’s just be nice to one another.“

“my mother and I went for the first time today. The food was very good. portions are generous. They server was very attentive. everything freshly cooked.“

“Delicious! Great service! Love everything about this place!“

“Shoutout to Iron Horse Bar & Grill for making healthy eating easier than ever! Thanks to their support, our grab-and-go meals are reaching more busy folks who want real food—fast. This partnership is all about convenience without compromise. Here’s to fueling the community, one meal at a time! — The Healthy Horse Team 🐴🥗“

“Wonderful food and atmosphere!! Can’t wait to go back and dine on the patio!!“

“I always find a new drink to love here! Perfect for girls night out or date night. The crew here is so friendly, and they make excellent recommendations when I want to try something new on the menu.“

“Great food & great atmosphere! Definitely will be going back!“

“Esther was amazing 🔥 Food was delicious 🤤💚🦊“

“Visiting here from St Louis to go to the Morgan Wallen concert and came across TACONACO KC… by far the BEST birria tacos I’ve ever had.. nice sized portions. Def worth it! Wish we had one in St.Louis“

“One breakfast place around here that I hadn’t bothered to try. Figured in the fancy new development would be mediocre/ overpriced. And I don’t care much about drinks at brunch… But glad I went! Amazing looking food in all varieties, what I had was excellent. And everything is very reasonable, even if you get drinks as well.“

“One of the best steak salads I’ve ever had. And the Maytag blue cheese crumbles put it over the top! The service was five-star and the place was hopping!!!“

“One of my favorite Hidden bar in the West side. Check IG for when they are open. Somewhat weather dependent hours/days. Usually Thursday- Saturday.
No food unless a pop up vendor. Super unique, very plant focused, smallish service bar but all the necessities!
Just the coolest place around!!“

“Amazing food and awesome service. We stumbled on it for brunch (the ricotta hotcakes were amazing), and ended up going back for dinner the next day. We had the Kangaroo loin, which was delicious!“

“We were in from out of town and wanted something quick to take back to our Airbnb. Popped in here and the staff was super friendly. The tacos were amazing!! Especially the tempura baja taco. The Thai pork burrito was good but it was honestly just fried rice in a tortilla. We will definitely fine this spot again next time we’re in town!“

“Dodson’s is a great spot all around. The service is consistently excellent, the drinks are good, and the vibe is relaxed yet lively. There’s always a nice mix of people, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. A huge bonus is being able to order a Cosmos Burger through the window—such a great touch and the perfect late-night pairing with a drink. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to.“

“Best whiskey bar in Overland Park, hands down“

“Amazing pork tenderloin sandwich. Also, to the cute woman sitting next to us at about 130pm on August 30th that was eating with your parents (presuming) that waved at me, just know, I came back to say hi, but you were already gone!“

“La parrillada acapulco muy bueno“

“Visiting here from St Louis to go to the Morgan Wallen concert and came across TACONACO KC… by far the BEST birria tacos I’ve ever had.. nice sized portions. Def worth it! Wish we had one in St.Louis“

“Very Christmasy! Puts you in the spirit for sure! Friendly staff! Go!“

“Had to leave a review because the bartender working during the Mexico game was LIT. 🔥 My homies and I were impressed. We never seen a bartender grab two bottles at once and pour shots that fast while still keeping everything cool. She was making so many drinks in no time it was fun to watch.

She was also hella cute 😂 and somehow managed to take a ton of orders at once without losing track of anyone. Even though the bar was packed she kept checking in letting people know she’d be right back and apologizing for the wait. You could tell she cared about everyone getting taken care of.

The whole crowd was waiting for HER to take their orders and once we saw her working, we understood why. She killed it.

We’ll definitely be back to see her again. I tried asking for her Instagram, but she was way too busy. 😂 If anyone knows it, help us out lol! I told her I would leave a review just for her 😂“

“My first time ever at Golden Ox. Steak was great and cooked as ordered. Sausage stuffed mushrooms were fantastic. Got a side of mashed potatoes, but received a hint to order as loaded because it’s not a menu item. Holy cow. The creamed spinach was alright, but I’d probably choose something else the next time I’m there. Overall, a great experience and birthday dinner.“

“This place had great staff, service, food and fresh tasting margaritas and salsa. The tamales are the highlight—the masa is light and fluffy, not heavy or dry like most places, and they’re stuffed with meat that actually has flavor. The salsas are the real kicker; mild was great and the hot has a kick but so fresh you’ll keep dipping even when your mouth is watering. To top it off, the margaritas actually taste like tequila and fresh lime, not that sugary bottled mix. They’re strong, simple, and hit the spot perfectly.“

“My wife and I attended Chicken N Pickle. The experience started off bad as we did I get our meal. Then Manager Kendra got involved and her customer service was amazing. I recommend Overland Park CNP. Good job Kendra! Not many like you anymore.“

“Fabulous, amazing drinks ✅ amazing food ✅“
