50 Best Cocktail Bars near Raytown

“The food is great. Bartenders are attentive and friendly“

“Merci was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great job!“

“I am soo glad Nicole, the owner of the City Market Coffee House has decided to share her recipes with the rest of us! The breakfast/lunch menu was full of the no fuss kind of meals you could make at home, but she makes them much better. Not over priced huge mounds of food, but delicious, reasonable priced items with wholesome ingredients. (And the bloody Mary's are a meal in themselves ;-)“

“Great place to sit and relax! I side is small so there will not be a lot of people which isnt a bad thing! The decor amd atmosphere was mellow. The bartender (I forgot her name) knew her stuff! We went a month ago and they were getting ready to open their tasting room, which I am sure it's open. Cant wait to try that!“

“Lots to like about this place. It’s a beautiful space with great service and drinks, and easy parking. Highly recommend — especially when they have live music, which is often. Adrian Bartholomew is our favorite!“

“Great experience! Welcoming to all!!“

“This lounge is moody and eclectic. The vibes are always present every time I step in. The staff in its absolute entirety is TOPNOTCH. You can see the amount of detail that went into the entire process from the staff, the interior, the drink menu, the music. Everything in this bar feels as though it was handpicked. The long ways cocktail is hands down the BEST drink I’ve ever had when I want something that packs a punch but is absolutely delicious from beginning to end.“

“Beautiful music and perfect ambiance! Will definitely come again.“

“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.“

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

“Went to Cliff’s last night while in KC for a volleyball tournament for our granddaughter. She has celiac disease.
They were accommodating with a broad GF menu and ALL of the food was fantastic!
Best wings I’ve had in years, the corn chowder soup was amazing, the pasta and sandwiches were all wonderful!
We can’t wait to come back!
Thank you!!😊“

“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.“

“I’m obsessed with this new spot! Upscale Mexican drinks and appetizers! Staff were very attentive, I never waited more than 2 minutes to be a drink order back.
Atmosphere 10/10! They are sister companies to the Mercury room, this group understands experience is everything!
I have family in Florida messaging me they can’t wait to try it next time they come to town!
They are already have one cocktail up for best in the city.“

“We have been coming here for 7 years. This is a North Kansas City staple. Josh has really kept this place a classic speakeasy style bar that we want to keep coming back to. We try to come back every time we are in town since we have moved away and we are always impressed by the new drinks on the menu.“

“The decor and vibe in the place is lovely and bright. During the day it is really chill and they serve cocktails and coffee shop options. Their Kyoto Coffee is amazing! Hard to find anywhere else. In the evening it is more of a bar setting—very friendly but more noisy and it may take a bit to get a seat. The bartenders are super friendly! The outdoor seating In back is really nice if the weather permits. The bathrooms are very clean, but pretty dark. I was a little concerned for my son who has low vision.“

“Love it! Great atmosphere, very friendly staff!“

“the staff and meal were amazing“

“This! Place a real good feel, it's the kind of comfy you-WE need!!“

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

“This little speakeasy is elevated yet approachable- and if the environment doesnt welcome you in, the staff will- as they were so friendly and attentive. I’m so happy KC has this spot! PS- we did The Alchemist, never heard of our ingredients, (was giddy) and the drink. was. amazinggg.“

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

“Visiting friends in Lee's Summit, after dinner stolling streets. Found this unique bar and it was like the prohibition days.
We all 4 had different drinks. Theme night movie Grease. But the smoked old fashion was amazing. Very cool little hideaway.“

“I like Grinders but the description of the “preferred viewing upgrade” was completely misleading! It was crazy hot so we got it strictly for the A/C Not anywhere near the stage and could barely hear the music when we went to get a beverage at the coffee shop (which is the a/c “lounge “) And the view was of the side of the stage and could barely see any of the performers. I will never pay for that upgrade ever again. Someone definitely needs to update the info on their ticket and venue site.“

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

“It was my first time going to this bar. I went for the 8 ball tournament that is held on Saturday's. I really enjoyed myself. It was a great atmosphere, the bartender was amazing and everyone was really down to earth. I will definitely be returning! Thanks Time Out!“

“We hosted our cocktail hour for our wedding at The Kill Devil Club while we had our ceremony and reception at The Gallery and it was SO FUN!!! It was the perfect spot for our guests to go while the ballroom was being transitioned into our reception! I would highly recommend Kill Devil to anyone having their wedding at The Gallery Event Space!!!“

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

“what can you say ...those dranks!!“

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

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

“My favorite Pop Up Bar! Maxwell & Thomas are Great“

“Daiquiri’s & chicken wings!!😍❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just wanted to take a second to complement the staff, especially our server Ryan. He was too kind and brought the table a round of shots to celebrate our first time in and he took the care to notice that I wasn’t drinking and brought me a non alcoholic version. Amazing service and even better food!“

“Lonnie McFadden is an exceptional performer— he seamlessly intertwines moving renditions of jazz classics with KC jazz history and the most soulful tap dancing I have ever seen. We had to leave early this evening and were unhappy we had to miss the last half hour because he and his excellent band delivered a first rate jazz club experience. We will definitely return!“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“Great atmosphere and tour! Whiskey was great! A very good time! Highly recommend!“

“The place is nicely decorated in retro decor. Mixed drinks are around $15-$20. There is live music upstairs with table reservations for $8/person. Don't plan on having a conversation up there, it's loud. The music being played downstairs is on the loud side to drown out the band playing upstairs making conversations with a group in a booth difficult.“

“My friends and I went to the Hey, Hey Club to do some celebrating!! Our waitress was phenomenal! Thank you for a great night!“

“I love this spot! the drinks are made with so much thought behind them. lovely atmosphere. great music.“

“Went to Cheval on a Tuesday late afternoon. Beautiful place for a cocktail. Gorgeous gothic look with antique wooden bar and circular conversational tables. Many drink options to choose from. Not sure if they provide food. It was February so we were a bit cold in the corner near the windows. Bartender was okay. Made good drinks but not 100% menu knowledgeable or friendly. Needs to work on his presentation of the cocktail and not pull old wrinkled napkins out of his apron. We enjoyed experiencing something different in KC.“

“Absolutely one of the best SOCCER ( futbol) venues in the country as they have hosted the EPL's supporters club of Newcastle United. Great TV's, great food, great drinks, great service and a loyal following. TOON ARMY !!!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“Pros: The menu, prices, atmosphere, professionalism

Cons: parking

This is one of the restaurants that brings me back to my childhood roots. The spices and seasonings will hit you delightfully in the face upon entering. The lights here are subtle and elegant with mood lighting enhancing the experience. This is authentic food so anyone looking for an “Americanized” menu for their palette it will not be found here.

Professionalism is not an issue here. Delightful conversation and attentive.

I have seen large groups of 9+ here so the location is accommodating on groups.“

“Have an absolutely lovely time every time we come here. Seriously impressive drinks and very friendly staff in an absolutely beautiful space.“

“By far my favorite little lounge in KC. It’s just a short 5 minute walk from my apartment so the convenience is there. I love the retro aesthetic mixed with modern design, and when there’s a DJ it adds even more to the experience. My drinks are always great and the customer service is attentive and friendly. The little burger truck outside, Disco Burger, is sic a fun and amazing addition on those tipsy nights you’re craving a good burger. My friends and I LOVE Varisty Club, and our favorite bartender is Caleb. He’s always so nice and efficient with us. Such a vibe. I would give 10 stars if I could.“

“Great local bar in the heart of Englewood. Love their Moscato. Owner Mary Ellen is a super person and always makes you feel welcomed. Support small business. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Kudos to you for your courageous stand during the pandemic. I know that cowardly Corey Owens, whose business is PaintingSolutionsSKC, a painting company with what he and his wife think is a “clever” logo featuring two intertwined Nazi swastikas, left you a bad review for requiring vaccination for your customers during that dangerous time and I just want to commend you and thank you for doing your part to protect fellow Americans. Stubby little Nazi coward Corey can’t even spell “riffraff” but I’m glad you made sure he knew he was a piece of it. You are not alone; crappy Corey is coming after my community too, focusing weirdly and troublingly on victimizing our children. Nazi Corey is both pathetic and dangerous and needs to be kept out of places where decent people go. Good luck and thank you again for your courage and strength.“
