Best first impression ever was seeing her smiling face upon arrival. We love a good speakeasy and this place does it right.

We look forward to trying out the new patio soon! Thanks for a wonderful date night!

Currently Landing is in its growth phase. I'm not sure the hotel has a lot of guests yet so it was…read morefairly empty while, we were also there on a rainy night. We went there before a Knucklehead's show, which allowed us to just hop down the road conveniently. So don't overlook this if you're headed to the East Bottoms for some live music. While the food was good, this will definitely be a little better ambience with a good crew, soccer game, or weekend. Food was delicious. Pork belly bites were cooked to perfection, fries perfectly crispy, the grilled cheese sandwich was still good even left over the next day!! So, so good. With that said, I took off a star because while it was empty, the bartender was not the friendliest. We were asking about the menu, deciding between choices and he was rolling his eyes and loudly sighing, like we were inconveniencing him. Meanwhile, there were zero people in the other area of the restaurant, and all of the patrons were sitting at the bar. Maybe 6-10 max? There were two of us girls. I'm not gonna say he was hired because of muscles and being good looking... But I'm going to say customer service isn't his forté, rubbed us wrong when excited to try a new place. I absolutely hate including this on reviews. But being a new restaurant on a slow night, I don't like feeling like I'm supposed to profusely apologize for sitting at the bar.

Show Pony was exactly what I needed when I needed it. I stopped in on a Thursday evening while I…read morewas waiting for a tow truck to come in the area. The restaurant is attached to a hotel but had a ton of different seating options. I had planned to stay for a while, but our tow arrived unexpectedly early. The bartender and kitchen staff were amazing and changed our order to carry out, put a rush on the food, and gave us the check. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and even as take out it was so good. There was a ton of chicken and cheese inside and even some vegetables (I think pico). I would definitely return and the friendly staff knocked it out of the park!

My friends and I visited before a stand up night at the Rino Theater next door and it was a perfect stop! Plan to wait a little for drinks due to a solo bartender, but it's worth the wait. My drink, the Hola Hola Back Girl- was very unique- Jamaican Rum (1 1/2 oz) + Overproof Rum (¾ oz) + Mango Liqueur (¾ oz) + Pandan Liqueur (1 oz) + Ube Cream Liqueur (1 oz) + Lime Juice ( 1/2 oz)- I could taste the notes of all! Producing great tasting, low fluff, minimal garnish drinks is their speciality and the bartender was incredibly knowledgeable. A great stop to upgrade your liquor/cocktail knowledge and try something completely new!

This gem in North Kansas City has been in the area for 7 years. I have driven by hundreds of times…read morehaving lived downtown for 14 years and I never knew it was a liquor store-bar. The ambience is clean neat and not over crowded considering it is a bar in a liquor store. When I say liquor store I mean they carry mid to high end liquor with the unique ingredients that make your cocktail a tasteful event. You definitely will not find anything basic here. If you are a big mixology fan this is your place to taste something unique and different and the best part is the ingredients are on their shelf to buy. We sampled the fall menu with our group of 4 each ordering two different drinks each and sharing to taste. The bartender (so sorry I forgot his name) was very friendly, knowledgeable and engaging with us. Just a side note- they don't serve food however two tables bright food in so that is a great option. If you are looking for a different option and experience this is definitely a place to check out. Note- they will be changing to their winter cocktail menu soon. They will be featuring "warm drinks ". If warm drinks are not your thing there is always the basic drink options as well. I love tasting so I and absolutely coming back to try the Winter menu. For those interested in Amaro liquor the serve flights so you can truly get the scope and find your preferred flavor profiles. They are not on the menu but you only need to ask the bartender and they will help set you on your journey. Last note- the prices are mid range better than most for a great cocktail. Cheers!

I've driven past the Fern Bar countless times, but had never stopped in. Truthfully, I knew next to…read morenothing about it. That changed yesterday, when Diana Condori, the bar manager, was named a 2026 James Beard Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service semifinalist. As we love supporting restaurants and bars that receive that kind of recognition, my wife and I headed to Fern Bar that evening. I was especially curious what exactly a "sugarcane and agave bar" meant. We arrived around 5:30pm and found only a handful of guests inside. After congratulating the bartender who first served us, he mentioned that Diana was working that night and would stop by to meet us. During our conversation, Diana shared that she didn't even know she had been nominated. She woke up Tuesday to a call from owner Bryan Arri, who said he had big news and was coming over. Her first thought was that something terrible had happened--like the bar had burned down. Instead, he showed up with coffee and told her she was a James Beard honoree. Diana is originally from Bolivia and has lived in Kansas City most of her life, with the exception of time spent in San Francisco during the pandemic. She further refined her cocktail craft through local pop-ups in Kansas City under the name Condor's Cove. When Bryan was preparing to open Fern Bar, he reached out to bring her onto the team. The printed cocktail menu immediately reminded me of the Monarch and the Mercury Room--not surprising given Bryan's background at Manifesto and the Monarch. Thoughtful, intentional, and clearly designed for people who appreciate serious cocktails. We planned on having one or two drinks but ended up staying for three, thanks to an outstanding lineup and a memorable conversation with Diana. We tasted: * No Fly Zone - Rum, agave, pineapple foam * Mr. Collage - Smooth, elegant, egg-white cocktail * Three Negroni Lunch - Bitter, boozy, and beautifully balanced * Pendergast No. 4 - Complex and spirit-driven * It's Bananas - Banana liqueur with bright tropical notes * Off the Rails - Creative and well-executed rum/agave cocktail One downside of many cocktail-forward bars is the lack of food, but Fern Bar offers two varieties of mini burritos for $4--just enough protein to keep things balanced while indulging. Great concept, exceptional service, and truly memorable drinks. Check it out--and be sure to say hello to Diana.

The Mercury Room is quickly becoming a weeknight fave for me and my friends! A little known tip is…read morethat you can text their number to see if they have any patio or weeknight spots open for walk-ins. The servers and bartenders are so fun throughout the week, and are willing to talk through the drinks and provide some wonderful details and recommendations. The atmosphere is unmatched across Kansas City. You won't find a cooler interior with the lights and ceilings with a beautiful view of the city, but the lesser known star of the location is the patio seating, with great views of the skyline. My friends and I have tried most of the drinks, but the Enfleurage, Magnus, Ambrosia and Kashi are favorites of the latest menu.
