This was a fun place to have great drinks. The theme was Goonies movie. We didn't try food. Music was good. My mocktail was great.
We had 6 people for our reservations, all from out of town. It was disappointing to be sat at two booths separated by an isle. We sat toward front door. There is a group able in the back around the corner that was occupied.
This place was awesome! The service was excellent and the drinks were great. The precision and detailed presentation is something that needs to be appreciated! I wish I knew our bar tenders name because he definitely made our experience a 10+! Can’t wait to come back!
They went hard with the decorations, the place looked perfect with the theme. The Sandlot drinks were amazing and very creative, I highly recommend the cheese board, was very good!
The Conductor Club is always on point with their themes, decor, drinks and service. We tried the tempura broccoli and it was fantastic. The drinks were all well thought out and executed with perfection. It is fun to see what garnishments they come up with for each drink.
We love this place! We have been here countless times. This time was a Gilligan's Cabana Club tiki theme and it did not disappoint. We also had the Fitto Misto de Mare and the cheese plate. Both were great!
Scott and the crew always do a fantastic job creating an immersive experience with the decor, background music and creative little touches to really make the theme pop! The drinks are pre-batched, which I'm less a fan of, but they're all very well balanced. The menu every time is very expansive, running the gamete with base spirits and spanning from the savory to the tiki-esque sweet. We've never ordered food since we usually treat our visits as a pre or post-dinner cocktail stop, but it always smells and looks heavenly - how can you go wrong when you're serving from Pierpont's kitchen?!?! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and different experience off the beaten path of breweries, distilleries or bars - a great little gem in the Crossroads.
Such awesome ambience. Drink menu and decor designed around a central theme was just wonderful. Creative presentations and pricing better than that of less creative surrounding speakeasies. Wonderful crew and service
Drinks were delicious and very well presented. We had a couple desserts too and they were excellent. We have been to 4 different pop up bars at Conductor Club. This was the best overall drink and food experience of the 4 visits. Great service also!!
Another fabulous evening at Conductor Club. Superior service by Scott and Ben in a villainous speakeasy atmosphere. Cocktails definitely deliver a complexity of flavors to please every palette. Bravo!
Incredible place to dine or drink at. Ambience is next-level. They have different themes at different points throughout the year, it's worth going to each one. The food is incredible, the drinks are where the character of the place shines as they are catered to the theme. My wife and I try to make it as often as we can and have always had amazing service and an awesome experience every time. I hesitate to write such a good recommendation because reservations are sometimes hard to get but we really love the Conductor Club and it's a great excuse to visit Union Station and see a unique part of it as well.

Our reservation was for 9:30, they didn't seat us until 30 minutes after our reservation time. The manager took our orders including food. Then the actual server came over to tell us one of the drink orders they couldn't fulfill and then that we couldn't order food because it was too late. The manager should have known this information and told us at the time of ordering. The server then kept apologizing because she was the only server for the night. Drinks finally came. They were delicious, ambiance was great. Service was sub par even coming from the manager.
After finishing our 1st drink it took almost 15 minutes to get the servers attention (in which time my wife decided she no longer wanted to be there) we wanted another drink but decided to leave after such slow service
I love The Conductor Club! I have been here for 4 different themes (Camp Crystal Lake, How The Conductor Club Stole Christmas, Jurassic Island, Home Alone) and have enjoyed every experience so far! This is our go-to pop-up bar and always look forward to seeing what theme they come out with next. The service has always been exceptional (even waiting a bit for our next drink has never bothered us because usually it is only 1-3 employees working the pop-up).The drinks are always so good, and very strong. They kind of have a similar guideline each theme but we end up trying 4-6 drinks between the two of us each time. I love that they include standard size drinks, shots, and usually a punchbowl for two drink. They usually serve a cocktail from old themes too which is cool for people that may have missed out or really love that specific drink. I've gotten the chance to chat with some of the bartenders during these and they are just so fun to talk to. They really seem to enjoy their work and put real effort into the cocktail recipes.We've eaten here almost every time we've come to a pop-up and love that you can get food from Pierpont's. The food is definitely pricey but thankfully, everything has always been really delicious.The décor for the most part has always been 10/10 for me as most of the evening my eyes are exploring every inch of the room looking for more fun details. I do hope they keep improving the themes/décor because not every single theme has been as good as others - but even the worst of the 4 I've been to was still high level!Overall, I love The Conductor Club and it is one of my absolute favorite bars - definitely favorite pop-up bar. The drinks and food are on the more expensive side of things so these pop-ups to us are really a treat and something we do a few times a year only. I definitely think anyone that has interest in pop-up bars, themed bars, or anything similar should go here at least once and really enjoy everything offered. Also, yes there is a small reservation fee but considering they mention this goes to the Union Station Preservation Fund, I am more than happy to pay it.

Conductor' Club always has a way of hitting their target audience when they choose their seasonal themes. Ambiance and decor always go all out and the cocktails typically pair with the theme well. One of my favorite portions of whichever theme they're in is that they like to 'call back' to some past themes and they'll keep them on the menu. Always fun to see what themed shots they come up with as well.
This was such a fun night out with friends in an intimate, welcoming, and overall joyful environment! The drinks were incredible and the staff was so friendly. If you are lucky enough to snag a reservation this is a must-do evening during the holidays in Kansas City!
