Totally overrated. Rude staff. Gives new meaning to hole in wall bar. All it's missing is some cat sized rats.

Service is always excellent even when they have a full house. I think I might become a regular. Bring your appetite because portions are generous. Not so close to my office, unfortunately.

I am soo ready for this place to reopen. This is a very unique bar that I call a hidden jewel in Kansas City.

The atmosphere and the drinks are well worth a visit alone. The staff is very knowledgeable and personable.

One of the best bars in the country, an inventive, one-of-a-kind bar in which the cocktails are unlike anything you've ever tried. The Beautiful Red Bell is a favorite of mine - who knew that gin and red bell pepper go to together so well? I've only ever sat at the bar, where the servers are attentive.

We went to the Manifesto for a friends birthday! The vibe and ambiance of speakeasy is amazing. It is intimate enough if you just want to be there with your significant other, but also open freeing enough to be there with close group of friends. I would 4-6 tops. They have great drink menu and even some pretty good small bites to share. The customer service is top notch. I definitely will be returning. I would recommend this place for any occasion, or even just a night out to get drinks with friends and loved one! 10/10

Great actual prohibition era speakeasy. Bartenders and drinks were awesome. Definitely recommend making a reservation on the weekends.
Kat C.
Really enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere and coziness of the booth. Ordered the Smoke & Choke and the Tiger Philanthropist, some sweet potato chips that certainly didn't disappoint. Great place to start an evening on the town. Servers know the menu backwards and forward. I love their savvy and knowledge about what pairs well. I'd encourage reservations or you can forget it! Dont bring the kids, not that kinda spot. Just come and enjoy your bae or just good friends. Simply amazing time.
Very cool, great place to go for a drink with friends but very loud, be cautious if you wear heels the basement stairs are treacherous. Drinks were top notch though and staff was very knowledgeable of the menu.

Speakeasy type bar with main entrance in an alleyway behind the Main Street. Once you find it, hostess leads you downstairs to basement where it's dark and cozy, lit up with candles only. The mixologists will make anything and everything your heart desires.

Such a cool little Speak Easy type hidden jewel. Bartenders were engaging, very knowledgeable, fun to watch perform their magic. They suggested a few options when I told them what tastes I was looking for and they got it right! I was visiting from out of state but would definitely return whenever back in Kansas City. Nice experience. Candlelit and intimate/cozy.

Truly amazed by the hospitality of people in Kansas city. Never thought that people would be so kind there. This speak easy bar has an amazing collection of cocktails. I tried the classic james bond style Martini- it was really very well made. The vibe, place, customer service was all very good. I'd give a 5 star to this place and would recommend a must visit place if you are in Kansas city downtown.
