"Honestly I didnt want to make the review, I wanted to gatekeep..but this place is a contemporary and small but never super packed because its more sipping and fancy rather than typical bar behavior. It's very nice especially for holidays. I LOVE that it isnt big bc its almost intimate with very nice drink. The holiday new staff makes the drinks and its not as good as the permanent staff but still worth it. Have a few drinks and walk around and see the lights. To me. I've found this 2 months ago and have been back 3 times- go before 8pm to secure a spot ( max party size is 6). Be classy. Drinks I've had ill upload below. - Golden apricot sour 8 out of 10. It was really nice but reminded me like a sweet golden cough drop taste( to some people's liking just not mine). -Lavender lemon haze 9 out of 10- its and second time was amazing 3rd time was good- temp staff made it the 3rd time. -indys ice water 8 out of 10. Very refreshing temp staff made a little too lemony but still really good. Pomegranate cherry mule 10 out of 10 super flavorful. - Smokey the bear Very strong. A sipping drink very smoky but delicious! Food - charcuterie is super cute and delicious and little pricey for me but good!"

"We went in on a Wednesday night, just the right size crowd. Sampled four different old fashions from the menu of 35 different old fashions and a cheese charcuterie board. Everything tasted amazing. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The atmosphere made you feel like you were in a cozy bar with great leather furniture and deep rich colors. We will definitely be back."

"The best cocktail bar in the KC area! The staff is knowledgeable about Whiskey, the drinks are creative and affordable, and the selection is huge. It’s a fun cozy environment designed to remind of a speakeasy where you can relax with friends. Truly the best place to grab a drink!"

"Had the best first time experience here. All the things to look at the menu being fun and creative. The bar artist was so much fun and friendly. and atmospherewand ambiance felt private and comfortably cozy."

"Excellent whiskey and cocktail house on Independence square. There is nothing like the anticipation of the smoke and the flavor of the Don, or B’s Cabin. Great selection of whiskey and bourbon. All the regulars plus some local you might not have tried before."
