Wonderful venue with high quality cocktails that are an experience onto themselves. Incredibly professional mixology and excellent atmosphere. Easily a hidden gem in KCs bar scene that you need to visit.

Excellent experience overall !Divine ambiance — dim lighting, cool music (but you can still hear your convos) and comfy/trendy seating options. They serve unique & strong cocktails. Our food was also great.Kaleb was the BEST server! He was incredibly personable, professional and patient with my friend & I. He was VERY knowledgable of the menu and how the drinks are prepared. He made us feel welcomed, heard & relaxed.Definitely ask for Kaleb — he was a pleasure!

The people at J. Rieger never disappoint and have time and time again put out the best product available.The Hey! Hey! is one they nailed with every element.Our second time visiting, this time during the Sippin Santa take over. The elite service and swanky yet comfortable atmosphere we experienced before was replicated once again, just with a tropical Santa twist.If you haven't been, you should.

Visited for the first time with a group of 7. Atmosphere was great, drink presentation was awesome. Friendly waitress.
FABULOUS ALL THE TIME. Food drinks people are ALL AMAZING. If you know you KNOW if you don’t know you just have to EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF.

Dark, private, speak easy feeling. I felt transported back to the days of Prohibition. It felt like the 1920s. Great place to have a cocktail and a few peanuts. Bartenders were creative if you want non-alcoholic drinks, but expect food/drinks are a bit more $$$ here.

With a little work this place has an opportunity to really shine.THE GOOD: The drinks were solid; so is the service.Lights dimmed, seating comfortable, and the reservation system keeps the crowd to a minimum.THE BAD: Parking is a nightmare. We were late to our reservation because it was so crowded we had to park up the street at an extremely unsecure location.There was no music being played in the background. It was just a dark candle-lit room with a bunch of people talking. The original the Hey-Hay Club was a jazz night club.Lastly there is not exclusivity or privacy at all. If you don't have a reservation you can still go down and check out the Hey Hey Club. It felt weird to have people dressed in shorts come down and look at me and my date enjoy our drinks. You also come in through the same entrance as everyone else. So while you might be on a snazzy date, you will still have to put up with the frat boys going on a distillery tour or the out of towners shopping the giftshop before going to Knuckleheads.Aside from the drinks there is a lot to be desired. The bar is upscale but the experience needs to be polished.

Dim, luscious speakeasy downstairs inside the distillery - don't follow Google Maps to the other end of the building like we did, haha.Drinks were creative and well presented, but 2/3 were not smooth or balanced enough. However, if you're in the area, it's worth stopping in and trying something new as an experience. Service from the hosts and the bartender were excellent.

If you love a dark intimate setting to share drinks and small plates, you’ll love the Hey Hey Club. Perfect for a date night, or to have a small gathering with friends. I believe they make reservations for up to six people, and you’re allowed to keep your table for two hours. Perfect for pre-dinner drinks and appetizers. I had the modele rouge drink, and it was refreshing and delicious. The only thing I wish was different was the seating. The space is a bit loud once it’s full, so I would like to see some tables with chairs side by side for easier conversation, rather than across a table. Other than that, the service was top notch and very attentive. Will definitely return to try more on the menu!
