    My first visit to the Primrose AND it was decorated for Christmas. Bonus points! Met up her with friends for a few cocktails and was not disappointed. Between the group of us, we sampled a variety of Christmas cocktails. On the whole, we were all quite pleased with our choices though there were a few that weren't our favorite. Of the seasonal cocktails, the Navidad Jalisco and Deck the Palms were two of our favorites! Service was a tad slow but to be fair it was quite busy! Not an empty seat inside or on the patio. Would definitely recommend!

    I happened upon this little cocktail bar by complete accident. I was at another business and walked by so I had to check it out. It was a nice night so I opted to sit outside. They have a cute little patio area that is somewhat enclosed so there is some privacy from people walking by. They have some nice shrubbery and light at night so the ambiance is lovely. The service was great. Everyone was nice and professional. I had the Le Petite Goat: Hennessy, lime, blackberry liqueur, and a goat cheese ball. It was so good. I wish it was bigger because I could drink a few of these. It was bright and tangy and everything just went so well together. They have several other tasty looking cocktails but they also have mocktails and light bar snacks. Definitely check them out if you're in the Mission area.

    Too many good choices to choose from with the drinks, love the vibe. Will definitely want to return and try a few more when I have more time.

    The Primrose has a great, chill atmosphere and very interesting drinks. The bartenders regularly change up the menu and often take great car to ensure the drinks are made well and properly garnished. I really loved the lemon meringue inspired drink, and found the watermelon matcha drink to be an interesting combination.

    I love the Primrose! The atmosphere is great, it's cozy but upscale, and still super welcoming. I love their themed drinks and decor, and the drinks have always been delicious. Their spicy margaritas is one of my favorites!

    A gem in downtown Mission. I kinda don't want to tell you guys how good it was since it's just down the street from my place... but I want them to stay in business so I'll share it all! If you like Wild Child, but it's a bit too crowded for you then The Primrose is your spot. It's just a more comfortable experience! If you're solo, sit at the bar and chat with the crew. If you're in a group there are plenty of couches to take over. I felt like the drinks were fairly priced and the staff were happy to make recommendations. They also have a pretty impressive bar, so if you just want a standard cocktail like a martini or old fashion then you have that option. Mocktail recommendation: Blushing Bride! It did not disappoint! Favorite cocktail: Lavender Haze was the vote of our table! Light and refreshing, but it will get you there.

    Went here with a group of 7 people and they were very accommodating to our party. It was an hour wait, but they recommended we visit their speakeasy next door while we waited for our table. The service was great and I loved their selection of cocktail drinks. I got the dragons house cocktail and it was the perfect mixture of sweet and tangy!

    the gals and I needed a quick drink after work and we found this gem! kinda tucked away between a couple other places on johnson drive! reallyyyy great drinks, this will definitely be our go to spot. not too big and has a few outside patio spots!

    The cocktails and atmosphere are really nice. A great addition to Downtown Mission for sure. My friends and I met up for a happy hour on a week night and had no problem getting a seat and a round of drinks. The service was good. Staff was helpful. And the seating was clean (new), classy and comfortable. Definetly a cozy place - great spot to hang out all year round. In a city with a growing list of cocktail bars, the pressure and competition is on. I would love if the Primrose would hone in on their identity. For example, the music selection felt a little random (throwback hits?) and a little out of place. Not sure if that's just because it was a quieter weeknight. But with the price of the cocktails and overall aesthetic of the interior, I expected either top hits (trendy) or something that fit the personality of the bar a bit more. Setting the mood. Additionally, I was surprised the menu didn't list the spirit brands. With most of their signature cocktails priced at $14+, guests like to know the spirit brand. Come to find out, most of their spirits are local! Which, to me, makes the cocktails more worth the price and make me more inclined to order another! Add the local spirit brands to the menu - because a lot of people aren't going to go out of their way to ask.

    Lovely holiday atmosphere

    We stopped in on a whim today when the staff put the outdoor sign out and we are so glad we did! This is a pretty boutique cocktail bar and our cocktails (Dragon's House) were excellent. They have unique cocktail menu that we look forward to returning and trying out more concoctions! Our waitress was friendly and attentive and it was clean with attractive decor. It has seating indoors and some patio seating as well. The music was the perfect level and fit the atmosphere of the place.

    The Primrose is a craft cocktail bar and much needed addition to the downtown Mission area.    The space is a bit small, but there are a variety of seating options - a half dozen or so seats at the bar, couches, arm chairs, and small tables. The menu features a handful of fun seasonal cocktails along with "Signatures", "Classics", and even an impressive set of "Mocktails".  I ordered the About Damn Thyme cocktail {vodka, early grey, lemon, club soda} for $11 off the "Signatures" section.   Overall, great first impression - excited to return!

    creative seasonal cocktails and i love the illustrations on the menu! the osaka bayside was probably my favorite, and I was skeptical about the sweet pea but impressed at how refreshing it was. cozy little space, and super friendly bartender. the le petite goat could've used a little more punch, but overall a great local spot.

    A small intimate lounge with good drink and music. It was slightly too bright in this space but still enjoyed our time.

They dont tell you rice is an add on dish charging and extra $7. So a $28 entree becomes $35. Also their crab rangoon are noticeably small than other Asian restaurants.

    Stepping through the doors of Penny's In The Village feels like slipping away from the familiar…read moreshores of the everyday and navigating a deeper, far more mesmerizing current. To have this exquisite sanctuary within mere walking distance of our front door feels like discovering a secret coordinate on an old traveler's map. It is a place that exerts an irresistible pull, anchoring itself as the absolute perfect destination for an intimate, romantic date night or a lively, laughter-filled evening meeting up with friends. There is a brilliant, transportive alchemy at work here, transforming a casual stroll through our neighborhood into a deliberate departure from the ordinary, where the modern world gently recedes into the background. The atmosphere is utterly on point, evoking the hauntingly beautiful, slow-burning elegance of a French colonial-era brasserie tucked away in the humid heart of Southeast Asia. There is a distinct, poetic nod to the writing of Joseph Conrad within these walls--a deliberate, masterful play of light and shadow that makes the space feel alive with a quiet, brooding mystery. It feels as though you have stepped off a river steamer and into a candlelit haven of rich textures, whirring fans, and lush greenery, where the air is thick with romance and the intoxicating charm of another era. Whether you are seated inside amidst the intimate, atmospheric glow or outside on the terrace watching the twilight deepen like the slow approach of a great, untamed evening sky, the setting holds you completely spellbound. The culinary journey matches this evocative allure step for step, navigating the menu with the flawless precision of an experienced captain. Having explored nearly every offering they have to craft, I can say with absolute certainty that the kitchen never misses its mark. Each dish arrives as a beautiful revelation, a sharp contrast of vibrant flavors and impeccable execution that satisfies something primal and deep within the palate. Penny's doesn't just serve a meal; they curate an experience that lingers in the memory long after the final plates are cleared. It is a rare, magnificent gem that brings a profound touch of old-world, literary magic right to the heart of Prairie Village, and we find ourselves endlessly drawn back to its extraordinary shores.

I have to completely agree!!! a combo of great taste on a smash-burger made just right!!! Plus, the made from scratch margarita was amazing!!!

I of course had to grab a burger and some tots, both were great! I tried the Watermelon Margarita which was tasty. I also tried the Clarified Milk Punch - Fruity Pebbles drink. It was funky. I thought the crushed fruity pebbles in the rum were a nice touch. Overall, the vibe was chill and casual and the bartenders were friendly. I only wished that there were maybe a couple more things on the wall. It was not only noisy in the bar but the sound was bouncing off the walls making it hard to hear and understand my friends who were sitting right next to me. Great bar with great drinks and food. I will definitely be back.

For a holiday happy hour, a few friends and I decided to check out The House (which is owned also by the owners of Lulu's, next door) was a great and very festive options--everything from lights to decorations (even dancing motorized Christmas figures!) to themed drinks. I had a cinnamon tequila sour that did not disappoint, and our cocktails were all spot on. I also learned that if you wanted, you can order food from Lulu's from The House and someone will deliver it over to you (if you're fine just chilling and don't want to walk over to Lulu's)! As for the location, I cannot wait to come back when it is nicer out because they have a large front area with heaters, seats, and just a general ambiance of chill. If it is colder, be aware that the house is small--so larger groups may find it harder to grab seats! I'm happy that I got to experience this place and it is definitely now on my list of places to go when I need a low-key drink! Thanks everyone at The House for a great experience and can't wait to see you next time!
