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 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.

A few people were talking to him and the man left a few minutes later and the bartender and the handful of patrons/cronies that were there, talked so much shit about this man I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The bartender was atrocious - we didn't even finish our beers because we couldn't get out of that place fast enough! very unfriendly staff and just an overall crappy vibe. As I was leaving, the bartender made a snarky comment to me about the fact that I didn't tip her. She needs to do a little self reflection and understand that it's her service or lack thereof and her shit attitude as to why I stiffed her! I was in the bar and restaurant industry for over 25 years ( and until her, I have NEVER stiffed anyone) and have no problem tipping someone extremely well, the mess behind the bar, referred to as the bartender, needs to work on her approach and maybe even find another profession, Absolutely horrible service and won't be back .

There are a handful of parking spots allocated to the restaurant but street parking is available, and there is parking in the city hall lot when they're closed. It was Saturday evening, a little after 5:00. Crazy busy. The customers were a little scary when they pounced on the available tables. Some patrons at the bar were willing to scootch together when there's an empty seat. It's probably a little less crazy when it's warm enough for the outdoor seating. When sitting at the tables you place orders at the front counter, on the kiosks, at the bar the bartender takes orders. When we went Tea was the bartender and Jenny was the hostess. Both were phenomenal. We started with the Chips & Guac (homemade) $6.49 and added Salsa on the side. FPO had the KC Burrito with Carne Asada for $11.99 and Corona Extra $3.79. I had the Special Philadelphia Cheesesteak Burrito for $13.99 and a Crunchy Taco with ground beef $3.79, and a House Margarita $9.99. The food and drinks were pretty good but I think it was the happy atmosphere that made it a truly enjoyable experience.

She came back and took our drink orders and was back in a short time to take our food orders. Mom went with the Cuban sandwich and cole slaw. I had the Patty Melt with curly fries. There were a few tables that mostly already had their food, so it didn't take long for ours to arrive. Mom's Cuban was not really a Cuban sandwich. It might have had a few ingredients that you'd see on a Cuban, but it was not a Cuban. It was certainly edible, but needs a new name to avoid confusing expectations and reality. I had a small taste of the red pepper aoli on the sandwich and I liked it; she wasn't a big fan of the sauce. She liked the cole slaw, but it did have a different "flair" to it that I can't exactly pin point. I'm not a fan of celery seeds, so my tiny taste of it won't count. My curly fries were typical out-of-the-freezer fries. I'm not surprised, but they seemed to be the bottom of the bag with mostly tiny pieces. They had been overcooked a tad, which I appreciate them not being soggy, but they were just a tiny bit overly crunchy (likely because of them being tiny pieces), so they were a bit dry and could have used salt. Our table didn't have salt, I'm sure I could have requested salt since I did see some at another table. I made do with the ketchup. My sandwich was good. My preference would have been for the bread to have been toasted/grilled. It maybe had been grilled a bit, but not in a crispy way I'm used to for a patty melt. The burger was tasty and the grilled onions and mushrooms were really good. The dining room has high top tables at the entrance, then low top tables and booths if you go down a few steps to another area. They do have a door that is at street level to the lower dining area for guests who have difficulty with stairs. We don't end up in Shawnee for meals very often these days, but we appreciated the good service. The food was not bad; there are things we'd order differently, but it certainly was edible and not of poor quality.

It was near empty, about five or six people sitting at the bar. We were greeting when we walked in and told we could sit anywhere. The restaurant/bar was clean, looked really spacious, and was brightly lit. We ordered Mac and Cheese bites, smoked Gouda with bacon. The portion seemed a little small, but they were pretty good. FPO had a bacon cheeseburger with fries; I had a regular cheeseburger with fries. The burgers were okay, but the fries were super salty. Also, they have a smoker's patio right outside the front door, so any time someone lit up, the smoke comes into the bar. I've seen other reviewers say it's a great place for karaoke.

It is so nice to see a locally owned restaurant get so much business! Every time we have gone in there's a wait, and that's okay because that means the restaurant is thriving as it should! Good for the staff!!

Our table was right at the junction next to the waiter station where they entered the orders.

Also, the HVAC was exceptionally loud and kind of whistled. I mean, we appreciate A/C, don't get me wrong, but by the time you have the upbeat music, the yelling, and the loud HVAC we were ready for some sensory deprivation by the time it was all over. Those tornado fries (probably referring to them by the wrong name) were fantastic. So good! The sandwich was good, not great, nothing particularly wrong with it either. The price was great for sure. The nachos put on quite a show, they come out stacked to the clouds, but once you start digging in, you realize there's way, way, way more chips than toppings and just kind of sad. Things tasted great, but just give me less chips so I can actually taste the cheese and stuff. Then, at the bottom of the mountain was a heap of cheese that you couldn't get to at all until you dig clear to the bottom. We'll be back I'm sure. Maybe will consider takeout instead of dine in, but there's more things we do want to try.
