Was told this is a must stop on our trip to KC. We had the Crying in H Mart and the Dealers Choice. Great craft cocktails in an atmosphere with a very cool vibe. I recommend trying g this place for yourself.

This is a super cool book bar. My book club meets here once a month (make sure to make a reservation for large groups as seating is limited). They have a large cocktail and cocktail menu (both are delicious)! This is primarily a drinks bar, food is limited to a few prepackaged snacks. You can also buy some of your fav books here. For parking, I would recommend the garage next door. It has reasonable prices and always has lots of spaces and it adjacent to Afterword.

This is our neighborhood watering hole and can't imagine the Crossroads without it. The staff are so friendly and incredibly imaginative as well as knowledgeable about the cocktails they create and serve. Seasonal rotating menu of innovative combinations all named after boot titles or authors, but they keep their classics as standard so you don't ever have to be without them! Couldn't ask for a better combination of a warm, welcoming environment filled with books and booze. The crowd is fairly eclectic, and the music can get a little loud sometimes - but it's nothing they don't manage right away when you ask them to. I don't know what we would do without this establishment! We love this group of talented professionals!

I drive by this place everyday on my way home and I finally stopped in to check it out. The atmosphere and the vibe was nice, relaxing & chill. It's like being in a private library with a bar and cool decor. The vintage card catalog was a charming touch as well. If you want to sip libations & read, strike up a conversation with a stranger, play board games, vibe out to music playing in the background or all of the above all in the same place look no further. I mostly enjoyed the fact that they offered mulled wine! It's a perfect hangout spot for friends or for date night. If only they offered snacks... but I will definitely tell my friends and be back!

Wonderful ambience and atmosphere. That being said, space is a bit tight and that also makes the service slow down when they are busy. Having food readily available would help even it is delivered from the restaurants around. Great place if you are a party of 2 ? ?
Amazing cocktails and good vibes. I’m very critical when it comes to mixology, and this place exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to come back!

The hang out spot! Great drinks and good vibes! The drink names are fun and unique! Staff is friendly and makes great drinks also. They have books you can buy and read in the store. You gotta check it out for yourself.

What an original spot! Worth a visit. PROTIP: the mocktails are incredible.

Oh my gosh what a darling little gem that’s not talked about nearly enough. Come to read a book solo with a cocktail, sit at the bar and people watch, play table top board games with friends and enjoy the chill vibe. It’s got a great view of some Kansas City buildings and lights and their decor and staff is all adorable. We loved our Friday night evening spent here and it wasn’t over crowded at all. We will be back for a good read and more banana cocktails! Holy moly.
Love this place! You should give it a try if you haven't already!
