Nyx Lounge if featuring a small menu that will rotate frequently to highlight and promote their products that the create at their Distillery and Vineyards outside of Excelsior Springs - Fence Stile Vineyards and Nyx Distillery. The space is only a few weeks open and they are operating with a soft opening menu while ramping up for a grand opening when their outdoor deck is being constructed. The space is large with bar seating, multiple "picnic" style tables for 4 to 6 people and a comfy pit by the fireplace and soon a patio deck. The owners Shriti and Paul were most welcoming, while spending a lot of time with our small group guiding us through the menu, offering suggestions and giving us a lesson on the their business, their challenges and goals. Their customer service skills and passion for their craft was impressive and addictive. I enjoyed a white wine Sangria, Pineaapple Mimosa and a pour of their Golden Rum. All were wonderful and fairly priced. They have scheduled tasting events and also offer snacks and charcuterie. A new favorite place when you need a bit of sophistication in a casual environment.

Holy...OMG. Come here, come here, come here…read more By some spark of light and luck we start the Valentines Day evening here.

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.

I really enjoyed my time at Goat and Rabbit. I came here on a date and I definitely will be back…read more This is a very spacious bar, but also very intimate. I love the dim lighting and the different seating that they have. My favorite part was the back patio area and there is an extra ducted off room that is more intimate than the inside. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. I got one drink off the menu and he made me a drink based on what I liked for my second drink I will say that the drinks are very strong. I generally like a balanced cocktail, but I won't complain about a strong drink either. Once I told him what I wanted, and he was able to adjust my drink even the one that came off the menu. The cocktail that I got was called it's more than peeling. It was good, but very strong I asked for more chocolate to balance it out and that made it perfect for me.

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.

Our server Michelle was awesome, very friendly and knew her drinks. We started with the Citrus Spritz, think paloma but with vodka very refreshing. Next up we ordered both tacos, blackened shrimp taco and a Korean Steak taco, while both were delicious, I would recommend the Korean Steak- the slaw was delightful. The Fries were amazing with a hint of garlic served with aioli. The Crispy Fried Brussel Sprouts & Cauliflower served with a jalapeno aioli and a malt vinegar but worth trying. Last but certainly not least the housemade pimento cheese served up with gerkin pickles, summer sausage and saltine crackers, the only disappointment here were the saltine crackers, if you were going to go with an everyday cracker use something like a Ritz or a club. All in all it was a beautiful day and they had a great pationto sit out on. It wasn't busy inside so i was glad when Michelle checked on us many times. Only thing i didn't like, we were a party of 2 and they added a 20% gratuity (in preparation for the World Cup)I gave more as i normally would but I do know as a server myself this isn't always good for your employees.

Lots of different types of seating - bar, comfy chairs and table with chairs in a space that will hold about 80. The drinks are a little spendy about $16 and no happy hour pricing. I had a stirred dirty vodka martini. It was good but I prefer shaken martini that skates (iykyk). My friend ordered an fireside old fashioned. The rum made it sweeter and the cinnamon stick was a nice touch. The menu offers several old fashioned and martini options. They also offer some lite bar bites for snacking. If you live in Olathe and like cocktails this is definitely worth a stop. If you don't - it's quite the drive and there are other bars probably closer and just as cool.
