I visited Panther's Place on the Westside for the first time on the 4th of July. What a gem in KC! It's a total outdoor vibe and feels like your on vacation with the greenery everywhere. It's tucked in the back of a small strip mall and had no idea it was there. It was a great place to catch fireworks, listen to some great music and sip on some cocktails. (I had an Aperol Spritz!) They also had some food specials (hot dogs and smash burgers, but I imagine this rotates.) The team was so friendly and is super passionate about Kansas City and the Westside neighborhood. You can feel like locals go regularly and it's also a special treat to hideaway for a conversation with a friend for catching up. I'll definitely be back and it's a wonderful place to bring out of towners. read more

I had seen an Instagram post about this place and it looked like it was super cool. So when I found myself less then a mile away I had to check it out. Sitting off in the corner of a strip with a few shops sits a small camper. Behind that you will see the doors of a shipping container. As you walk through the doors you are greeted by a jungle of plants hanging down from the upper pergola rafters and along the walks. There is a small bar to the right of the entrance but don't let its size fool you!! This little bar and at least the night I was there two bartenders make some "Big" drinks!! Between my friend and I we ended up trying 4 different mixed drinks during our visit, each one was a completely different experience and flavor profile. The inside area is small and quant but you don't feel like you are on top of others that are around you. I have already started to plan my next visit with friends. read more

Creating space is an art. There's a lot of permutations of details, so many possibilities. That leaves a lot of ways to get things wrong, which is why there's often so much trend following in the hospitality space- it's hard to hit the balance of familiarity and surprise, so following the crowd is usually a safe and inoffensive bet. Which is why I appreciate Panther's Place. They are a creative and refreshing addition to the landscape in KC. Enveloped in plants and kitsch-but-not-kitschy ephemera, it's spacious and green and lovely in the summer. During daylight it's airy and wonderful, at night it feels a party in a secret garden after hours. And baking in one of the many hundred degree heatwaves we've endured this summer, we were given yet another reminder that we really need to get a handle on this climate change thing so we can contribute to enjoy wonderful spaces like this. Bartenders were sharp and on their game, while the entire experience was relaxed and unhurried- great hospitality. Highly recommended. We enjoyed showing up early and letting the sun set into night while we were there. Panther's Place has a level of self possession that is rare. It doesn't reach or contort, it invites. read more

I'm somewhat hesitant to put this review out for fear that all of you will begin to go here! Stopped by last Saturday night for a cocktail and to explore the venue. Very unique and comfortable setting. Lot's of little nooks to hang out and talk. It's like a greenhouse with all the plants and the floor covering. It opens on Friday and Saturday at 6 o'clock. Begins to fill up closer to seven. Unique and fantastic options of creatively mixed drinks. ($10/$12) This is the kind of place the cool kids hang out. read more

A hidden gem, right across from Boulevard. Kind of hidden, but if you see a small lot with a metal trailer tucked in an alley, you've found it!!! I'm excited to see what this place looks like come spring, because it is a plant lovers paradise. So many vines hang from the area, which is several shipping containers (really cute concept and designs). They have several signature cocktails but it's a full bar, so they can also make anything. Multiple hidden nooks around the place for seating. And, because it's mostly all outside, very covid friendly. Bartenders and staff are amazing. They're there to answer questions about menus, help with clean up, and made me some excellent, juicy mocktails. Definitely my new favorite little oasis. read more

This is a great little place tucked away with plants aplenty and an intimate vibe. There's a fun outdoor spot with artificial turf and a bit more of a retro setting. Then, inside it's very woody and natural. The drinks were yummy and it was a nice place to sit and have a conversation over drinks. Been meaning to check out this spot & so glad we finally did a couple of weeks ago! read more

Came to the place on first Fridays with 3 friends. We arrived around 930pm, and there was a bit of a wait. It was First Friday's, not sure if that's why it was so busy or if that's normal. But we waited and 20 mins. The place is pretty cool looking. It kinda resembles what I would think a rainforest looks like. Drinks were kinda pricey but no more than other trendy places, I think Margarita was $11. A lot of groups were here, and the crowd was very diverse. I liked the energy. One thing that could be an issue is there is only 1 bathroom stall. When I went, there were 3 people in front of me waiting, and the bathroom waiting area quickly filled up. It's an odd setup, but it was an opportunity to talk to strangers while waiting to pee. It took a while to order drinks. There isn't any table service, but a nice man did come by and clear any glasses away, and he also brought us some waters. The last thing is the music. It was weird music and seemed to get louder as the night progressed. Even though I have a few dislikes, I liked this place and would definitely go back. I like the atmosphere, crowd, and being outdoors read more

Suuuper cool place and a hidden gem right off Southwest boulevard. If you're looking for a simple cocktail night or a place to take visitors to, this is your place. The bar is unique in its design and decoration and definitely perfect for that Instagram/ snapchat post. They have a $10 cocktail list that's both creative and flavorful. Pick something random off the list and I bet you'll be pleased with your choice. Advice - I went on a Friday at 6pm, when they open, and they started to get full fast. It's a super chill and awesome bar, so just plan for seating to fill up fast. read more

Step away into a fairytale at Panther's Place. This quiet, secluded cocktail oasis in the middle of the KC crossroads is unlike anything else downtown. This space effectively removes you from the city's hustle-and-bustle while still keeping you close to all the action. I was blown away and cannot wait to get back. They serve small plates and amazing cocktails, their servers walk around so discreetly as not to ruin your intimate (or rowdy) moments in their cocktail garden. Airstreams act as their bar and there is always something new to be discovered around the corner! read more

Their cosmopolitan was fantastic and they had an interesting and unique set of cocktails. During our visit we got a cocktail we didn't really like, no fault of their own, it was well made and I could see how someone would appreciate it, it just wasn't our cup of tea. I fully intended to pay for it but when the bartender saw our drinks, he gave me another one on the house without me even asking or wanting it. That's some fantastic service and it was a really kind gesture. And finally, the ambiance. This place is truly a vibe, almost like a hipsters hidden oasis. A little tricky to find, but when you do, you are greeted kindly. The music they play is very chill and different. This feels more like a place to unwind and chat with friends over a great cocktail than a party spot, and I really dig that. Lastly I'd like to touch on the architecture. This place is fantastic to look at. It feels a little surreal. You'll just have to see for yourselves. P.S - That old little vhs tv at the bar was awesome. read more

A true HIDDEN GEM!!! Wow! I highly recommend! This place has the coolest vibe and the drinks were fantastic!!

Amazing place. Cool vibes, good cocktails, fun outdoor atmosphere. The pizza looks great but we didn't try it. Next time I'll get a cocktail from outpost social and walk over to sit in panthers place read more

This place is definitely cooler than I am! Follow on Instagram for hours. Vodka selection limited to Tito's. I should have tried a menu cocktail but it was the end of the night. I think the bartender duo also thought I was less cool than the place and that's all I'll say about that. This would be an ideal spot to take someone from out of town, or as a stop before or after an event. Maybe not the main attraction. Very quiet for a Saturday - this was unusual as I understand it. read more

There are a few places around KC I like to take people visiting just because of how, when you walk in, it's like entering another world. Green Lady Lounge, the old side of The Ship, etc. Panther's is definitely one of those places now. Come for the look, stay for a drink, and relax. read more

Panthers Place is the best hidden gem in KC. I always take out of town visitors there. Great vibes and cocktails!

A great winter hideaway with fire pits, delicious drinks and cozy vibes. Sky is the ceiling and the fresh air is on tap! We enjoyed craft cocktails and ordered at the bar. Great place to enjoy an outing or meet friends for a chat. read more

Loved this unique setting! I took relatives from out of town and they thought it was a really fun place to visit and have a drink!

fire aesthetics and drinks- loved the garden party and the zucchini, both were good and i would return!

Very cool place. The drinks taste okay. The drinks are so so strong. I'm writing this review while sitting in my car afterwards while I'm deciding that I probably shouldn't drive. I had 1 drink and 1 shot over 3 hours and I am too drunk to drive. Be careful read more

The atmosphere was so fun and felt like hanging out in a garden. They made a fantastic old fashioned drink and we had to ask for the recipe.
