I was in the area and stumbled upon this cute little spot. It happened to be open so I went inside. I loved all the plants and the decor. 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. read more

Stopped by Wild Child after a nice dinner out in Kansas City. We were just looking for a nearby bar, but wow did this surprise us. 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. read more

A no doubter on the cocktail scene in Kansas City! They've got a plethora of cocktail options for whatever your taste happens to be that day, and the presentation is just as flavorful. Servers don't lead you astray and always make good recommendations. read more

Wild Child has been on my list since opening, and the visit was well worth the wait. The aesthetic is top-tier, every detail feels intentional and thoughtfully curated. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the vibe struck a perfect balance between stylish, lively, relaxed and welcoming. As someone who loves rum drinks, I was excited by how many options they had to choose from. One detail I really appreciated: the menu is scan-to-view and includes photos of the drinks along with the glassware they're served in, such a helpful and fun touch. Overall, this place is a gem. My experience was fantastic from start to finish. 10/10 -- I will definitely be back. read more

I've been here serval times and I'm quickly reminded why I keep coming back. I love the intimate space as it makes it easy for conversations. The service is always friendly and the cocktails are very creative. If you're looking for a vibe that feels like home this is it, as I can easily stay for hours without feeling rushed! read more

Some of the most creative and fun drinks in the city! Very fun date night with lots of other food places nearby as well. Ambiance is beautiful with lots of greenery and different types of sitting areas. Server was hilarious and very chill. My only selfish request would be to not be that group that comes in looking to brewery hop (there are lots of nearby breweries). Midway through our date a big group of mostly men came in to drink a bunch of beer very loudly on their way to the next bar. It definitely didn't fit the vibe of everyone else there and was obnoxious. read more

Stopped by Wild Child for flight night! I love that they have reservations so you are guaranteed to get in, but we didn't need them when we arrived on a Tuesday early evening. They offer 4 flight options. I got the martini flight and my husband got the old fashioned flight. I LOVED all of my drinks. Next time, I'm not sure if I want to get the same thing, or to order the daiquiri flight. Service was great! Definitely stop by if in the area! read more

The drinks, ambiance, and staff were 10/10! Kyle was such a fun and engaging bartender with great drink insight and fun stories; we had a wonderful Friday night out at Wild Child. The Neo Cosmo was our favorite for flavor and fun plus the BUBBLE!! :) Each drink is thoughtfully and artistically designed, the management is invested in the community, and you cannot go wrong in visiting Wild Child once or 100 times! Drastic Measures is their sister speakeasy bar next door- worth a night of trying both. They also have a new concept coming to KCMO, cannot wait to try! Ample free parking across the street. Highly recommend a reservation (don't forget that final "confirm reservation" click!). Also sound level is perfect for a first date! read more

I did not make a reservation on a Friday night but we were able to sit by the bar and enjoy some drinks. By the end of the night the seats in the bar did fill up but it wasn't too loud. Part of the fun was watching the drinking being made. The menu is both great and challenging because I wanted to try so many of the options. Everything comes in a different fun glass and there are plenty of flavor combinations for everyone. The prices weren't bad at 14 /15 for the drinks. The bartender was very kind and helpful with choosing between drinks. read more

Wild Child has officially set the bar for non-alcoholic craft mocktails in Kansas City. This is hands down the most thoughtful, creative, and well-executed NA menu I've experienced in the city. The NA espresso martini is phenomenal. Espresso-forward and creamy, it genuinely tastes like a real espresso martini. As someone who usually avoids NA versions of classic cocktails, this one completely changed my mind. I also tried the Absinthe Swizzle, which was fruity, pineapple-forward, and incredibly refreshing. The de-alcoholized absinthe actually comes through in a way that feels intentional and balanced. The Lemongrass Cooler was another highlight -- light, bubbly, refreshing, and reminiscent of a gin and tonic style drink without trying to imitate alcohol too closely. Beyond the drinks, the bartenders are exceptional. They were attentive, welcoming, and truly knowledgeable about both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic menus. I was even offered a small sample of an NA Negroni, which was such a kind and thoughtful touch. You can tell they genuinely care about hospitality and about making everyone feel included, regardless of what they're drinking. Wild Child has absolutely earned its spot as my #1 place in KC for NA craft mocktails. If you're looking for elevated, intentional zero-proof drinks in a setting that still feels fun and social, this place is a must. (Review by @sobersipskc on all social media platforms) read more

We live nearby and it wasn't busy when we drove by so we decided to try it out. We were seated immediately at the bar and looked over the variety of cocktails from their QR menu. My husband ordered the "Weaponized Kindness" and I ordered the "Flying Colors". They both were excellent cocktails and really enjoyed them. They decor is unique and vibrant and a lovely bathroom. The general vibe is casual and relaxing but I felt like the service could have been a bit more approachable. read more

A great little spot. A friend and I stopped by here after hearing about them in the area. We had little to no expectations about what we would receive here. I started by just going to my old standby the Old Fashioned. It was tasty and the mixologist (THESE people get to claim that term over Bartender) was kind enough to reduce its sweetness per my request. Not only did he then inquire after it was mixed but offered that if it wasn't exactly as I liked it he could/would add some more bitters to offset. If still not what I liked he would just make me something else! Floored by the service already... so we stuck around and tried several more. There are a lot of cocktail options here too. You will not be disappointed when you find the one that you really enjoy. The atmosphere is calm yet exciting reminiscent of a speakeasy or jazz club from days gone by. Go give this place a shot. Tip well as the people/drinks are worth it. read more

Always a great experience when I visit Wild Child. Our service was even more excellent than normal because Jay was working. The drinks were delicious as always. I had the Tiger Bite and tried my friends Longshoreman. I end up getting Tiger Bite almost every time I visit, but am always excited to try the other drinks too. The vibes are great & the decor is perfect. Awesome place to just have a chill evening & nightcap with a couple friends, or for a little afternoon drink to celebrate part of your day spent protesting or volunteering. read more

I love this addition to their other speakeasy - this bar has a wide selection of non-alcoholic mocktails which is perfect given the rise in popularity of NA drinks! It's a small place, so it is sometimes hard to find a seat. The NA French is so fun with the shaved ice and special spoon and the paradise found is so good!! You won't regret checking this place out! Parking is easy across the street in the open lot read more

Wow! This was the cutest place with creative and tasty cocktails! We ordered the La Bandita, Reformed Porn Star (our favorite), and Blood Moon. We dropped in during the middle of a Saturday afternoon and we were lucky enough able to snag a table. However, I would highly recommend making a reservation because it's a pretty small and intimate space. Can't wait to come back! read more

A buddy and I had heard about this place for a while now but hadn't had a chance to check it out. I was able to get a reservation the day of, but they had large amount of guest coming and going. There is a large selection of cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks. Of the drinks we tried the flavors were amazing and very inventive. I would definitely go back to try some more drinks. The bar is on the smaller side but doesn't seem loud even when all the tables were full. read more

Fun cocktail lounge located next to drastic measures. I would suggest that the style is a little 70s-ish with a fairly extensive drink list with something available to any taste. Reservations are welcome. However, we lucked out and happened upon an open table for two. Definitely should be on your list of Kansas City must visit establishments . read more

If horrible service and way overpriced drinks are your thing, then this is the place for you. Never again with a hard pass.

Kyle, Carla, and Emily are fabulous, hilarious, and the best bartenders ever. Fantastic drinks, good vibes. If the owner DOES read yelp reviews they deserve a raise lmaooo read more

I have waited since the news came out about this place opening, and have been anxiously following their social media to finally try the long awaited Wild Child. A huge fan of Drastic Measures, so I knew this place would not disappoint. And I loved that they would be focusing on NA. I didn't even have to look at the menu, I've known that I've wanted the ube daquiri for weeks. It was tart, refreshing, mild ube, and perfect. Mezcal espresso martini was also amazing, and might be the best espresso martini in all of KC. You need to make a reservation for this place, and they sell out usually days or even weeks in advance depending on the time that you're trying to go. read more

Wild Child is such a vibe--gorgeous interior, perfect lighting, and yes, we absolutely took beautiful photos inside. It's a little small, but super cute and well-designed. Drink-wise: "Bearing Fruit" (mocktail) was the clear winner--sweet, tart, and refreshing. "Palomania" was too vinegar-y for me. "Reformed Porn Star" (not a mocktail!) was fun and surprisingly well-balanced. The fish bowl? Chaos. Tasted like a college party--would not recommend unless you're chasing memories, not flavor. Also... shoutout to the bathroom. Legit beautiful. And the toilet paper? Top tier. Details matter. read more

Get a reservation if you plan on coming here especially with more than 2 people. It gets busy fast and there aren't a lot of tables. Not the best place to talk since it can get pretty loud in the small space. However the decor is really pretty with plants and nice tables. I came on Wednesday 7:30pm and thankfully they had a no-show for a reservation so we got it. Later in the night, it definitely cleared out, but I'm sure weekends are packs all night. I mainly came to try the non-alcoholic drinks. I got the lacto strawberry. It was super refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet. My husband wanted to try their specialty carbonated cocktails but nothing fruity so he ordered the vegetal. Super creative concept but would not recommend it to non adventurous people. The bell pepper and celery flavor are quite strong so he had to get a different drink. Ordered the vibrant. Was significantly better but was quite tart (maybe the tomato?) So he couldn't drink it fast and ended up not finishing it since the tart was making his stomach hurt. Overall loved my non alcoholic drink, but prob would stay away from the carbonated cocktails. They have a lot of pretty drinks, especially with shaved ice. Would consider going again to try more but wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Wow what a gem. First time here and I'm already trying to plan another trip. The drinks are all really interesting, tasty, and swoon worthy. Like so beautiful and whimsical you don't even want to drink it. Pretty As A Picture is a really delicious, light drink. It's tangy but not too sour. The surprise standout for me was Wayfaring Stranger. It tastes like you're drinking curry haha that sounds gross but was v good. Tip- make a rsvp because this place is small! They also don't serve food but there's a food truck parked outside that makes the most delicious Cuban sandwiches. Buy from outside and bring them in to eat. Such a treat. read more

My favorite bar in all of KC metro. And yes, the mocktails are just as spectacular as the cocktails. On my most recent visit, we went for the cocktail menu, and I enjoyed the Umami Mami, the Long Shoreman, and my friend's Coldest Martini (I do not usually enjoy martinis but WOW was it cold and crisp and delicious). Fun fact: They don't have a food license, and they allow you to BYO nibbles! If you'd rather not bring food in here, check out the taco trucks a few blocks south of here... a great way to sober up! read more

The ambience and service are amazing. I wish they served small bites/food every day, but they didn't when we went. Compared to how cold it was outside, it was nice and cozy inside. The atmosphere of this cocktail bar is so cute and I prefer it their sibling Drastic Measures next door. I tried the Lacto Strawberry Spritz and the Up & At 'Em mocktails and they were overwhelmingly sour. I didn't expect the lactic acid macerated strawberries or the malic acid to be so overpowering. I couldn't finish the Up & At 'Em so they kindly knocked it off my bill, which I really appreciated. My friends thought the alcoholic drinks were great. I'd definitely come back and try something else. read more

I saw on the news this place made National list as top cocktail and wine bar in the country and wanted to check them out since they are right here in our hometown. Reservations is a must. This place is always full. I would say this building seats about 50 people at the most. We were lucky to get in for half an hour for one drink in between reservations. The atmosphere has an old vintage, nostalgia lounge feel to it. Plants line the front window. Old vintage lighting hang above the ceiling. We ordered one drink. One of the best cocktail around. It's bold in taste. They just don't mix alcohol with juices. There are other essence to the drink that makes them unique. For instance, one of the drink we ordered has Turmeric as one of the ingredients. Who knew to use that in a cocktail drink. We really enjoyed our drink and will be back to try the others. Menu are online. read more

This has to be the best cocktail bar in KC. Very cool atmosphere and the cocktails are extremely creative and high quality. I love the flavor adventures I get to experience here and it's awesome that there's a place like this in my community. Great mocktails too.

This place has quickly became one of my top three bars in Kansas City area! You really can't go wrong with any drink (trust me, I have just about tried them all!). The name Wild Child makes perfect sense for the drinks offered as they are definitely wildly different and in a good way. They also regularly add new cocktails which are always fun to try. The creativity behind these drinks is top tier and I am eager to see what new drinks pop up on the menu in the future. They offer a great selection of mocktails and without a doubt are the best mocktails you can find in the area. Rather you drink or not, you will find something here to please those taste buds! My top three favorites are Wayfaring Stranger, Pretty as a Picture, and the Midori Sour. The Wayfaring Stranger might seem odd just looking at the ingredients, but don't let that fool you. The combination between the saffron liquor, orange peel cordial, and garam masala offer a perfect balance between a sweet and savory spice profile. The Pretty as a Picture is more on the fruity citrusy side of things and is just plain delicious. The Midori Sour really surprised me as I was expecting more melon flavor, but actually got pleasant notes of the Thai Basil along with a small hint of melon and citrus. It comes with a huge pile of shaved ice in the glass which slowly melts down into a slushy as you near the end of the drink. Perfect way to finish off the drink as the straw they give you has a little spoon! Don't forget to make reservations here as you will need them to get in. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is a great vibe. Looking forward to visiting next time! read more
