Traditionally, Libations is a great place to have a superb knockout drink made by highly skilled…read moremixologists. So when we are in downtown Lee's Summit, we always hit Libations. We stop for a drink (or two) and sometimes make an evening of it because the music and atmosphere are so good. So imagine our surprise when we stopped in and ordered two drinks (Gin and Soda and an Old Fashion). The soda had very little Hendricks, and the Old Fashion was a short pour. They remade the Gin and Soda, but the result was the same. We will be back again because this place is too cool to leave after one challenging experience. We expect a bounce-back performance. The drinks aren't cheap, so expectations are high (and should be) as well. I'll let you know what happens on the next trip, and please understand that I still think this is an absolutely necessary stop-in spot!

I was in the area and stumbled upon this cute little spot. It happened to be open so I went inside…read more I loved all the plants and the decor. The space is smallish but they do have bar seating in addition to seating throughout. The service was friendly and the drinks were great. They don't offer food, but they do offer cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. I went on a Sunday and they have a special menu called "Almost Monday." It's a smaller, simpler cocktail menu and the prices are very fair compared to other cocktail spots. I tried the Caipirinha (pineapple) and the Negroni sour. Both were good. My favorite between the two was the Negroni. It had a pretty color and wasn't too sour or strong. I'd def recommend it and get it again. Definitely stop in and check out this cute spot in Shawnee.

When you arrive there is parallel parking available outside the bar. When you walk in you'll feel like your bright, vibrant, and feels incredibly welcoming. Also, they have some really fun drinks as well that have been thoughtfully put together. We ended up sitting at the bar and I started with the Reformed Porn Star (vanilla vodka, bronson's tropical milk punch, passion fruit, Prosecco, citric acid and popping boba) which was by far my favorite drink and felt like I could have drank a couple more of these. Second I tried the Neo Cosmo (white rum, strawberry, cacao, coconut, rose hip, lime, bubble) which was good and was a fun drink with an ice cream shaped cup and a bubble on the top (meant to look like an ice cream cone). If you are in the area, this bar is a must try, the bartenders were awesome and took good care of us. Between the creative cocktails, fun atmosphere, unique floral setting, this was a memorable experience I'd definitely return for.

Low light, hidden-away energy, the whole vibe from the second you're through the door. Bartender Kate asked if I wanted a specialty cocktail and I said absolutely. She built me something based on a mojito I first had in Dallas -- mint, cucumber, and a habanero syrup that sneaks up on you in the best way. Cool and sweet up front, then a slow burn on the finish. I could have sat there sipping those all afternoon, which is exactly why I made myself stop at one. This is a real find. Genuinely undiscovered gem territory, and I'll be back.

Upon entering the speakeasy-type of cocktail bar, we were seated. Our server answered questions about drinks and offered recommendations for what we might like! My favorite feature included an option for the bartender to create a drink based on what you like! I provided information about liquor preferences and taste (e.g. citrus, sweet, fruity, etc.). The drinks were absolutely delicious! This is a fabulous cocktail bar located in downtown Shawnee! I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for an intimate night out and wanting to sip on tasty cocktails! We will return.

The Good, the Gin, and the Jalapeño Apocalypse. This hidden…read moregem in Mission Farms serves up serious aesthetic goals. The decor is pure speakeasy charm--complete with ultra-comfortable leather couches and cozy chairs you could sink into for hours. Bonus points to the waitstaff, who were wonderfully attentive all night. Now, for the drinks. A quick PSA: despite a massive liquor list, their custom cocktail menu is fairly compact and fiercely dedicated to gin. As a fellow gin enthusiast, I was thrilled. My first drink--a botanical gin and raspberry infusion topped with a velvety egg white float--was stellar. The rest of our non-gin-loving group, however, looked on with mild betrayal. The real drama came courtesy of the spicy cocktail my friend ordered. "A little bit of spice," the menu implied. What actually arrived was a beverage hosting a massive, fully-seeded jalapeño. It wasn't a drink; it was a weapon. A literal five-alarm fire erupted in her mouth. Come for the immaculate vibes and the leather seating, stay for the gin, but maybe skip the pepper spray in a glass.

Then someone opens the door. Once inside, it is so cool on the inside. Twinkle lights, lots of seating, and even more space outside. You can bring food in or go next door and smoke a cigar. The customers and bartenders are very friendly. I made some new friends. Tamela, one of the owners was friendly and checked on us. Hanna made our drinks. This is super cool spot. If you live near Gardner it's def worth the drive.

I can see this place filling up quite fast on the weekends, so get there early!! I was there on a Thursday so it wasn't super busy. for the people that don't drink, and just like to enjoy vibes, there is a special mocktail menu with cool drinks! I got the cosmo mocktail which was $15 and absolutely delicious! each drink had something special about it or a garnish that makes it cute. we saw some drinks that had fire with them, toasted marshmallows, and some with just a simple orange peel. there is no smoking in this area so there is less of that smell in this room for sure!

I love that this place has multiple different themes through out the year and gives fresh new menus in addition to their core menu. The only complaint that I have is that I feel like they need to hire more staff or just simply staff at least two bartenders. My friends and I visited on a Tuesday night and the poor girl was getting slammed. We unfortunately were only able to order one round of drinks cause she could not keep up- we ended up tabbing out and heading somewhere else. She was a great bartender and super nice- Just felt like she needed extra hands! Will definitely be back regardless!
