Great small batch distillery in Columbia. Their products include whiskey, bourbon, vodka, rum, and gin. We had a long educational, and very enjoyable talk with one of the founding partners/owners during which he explained the processes they use and provided samples for tasting. An extremely enjoyable experience and excellent product. Looking forward to going back.

Loved this venue! Something for everyone in the concert atmosphere. Sit, stand, dance. Plenty of room for it all and it all was welcomed. Affordable drink prices as well. Had a great time and looking forward to going back again!

This old row house looking building on the corner of a busy street, surrounded by stadiums, pubs, and office buildings is home to live music and wonderful food. Sitting close but far enough away from the 5'-tall speakers, we had an excellent view of the 20-year veteran singer Kim Massey. I hadn't heard of her before last night, but I know her now and I'm her newest fan. This woman, and her fantastically talented (play it by ear) band, played non-stop for three hours! She sang blues, jazz, rock & roll, and even a country song. This great-grandma sings live three nights a week to audiences who know her and love her. She doesn't appear to show signs of slowing down: the audience love she heard most likely energized her to keep singing. I love the extraordinary display of musical talent, and luckily there are places like this to experience it.

Vintage Vibe | Superior Service | Craft Cocktails| Weddings| Events | Lounge The Thaxton is a full serve, Art Deco venue, specializing in boutique style weddings and events. When not privately booked, the lower level of The Thaxton is host to an underground lounge known as the Thaxton Speakeasy. The Speakeasy is St. Louis' only password protected night spot. And is only open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays WHEN NOT PRIVATELY BOOKED.
My husband and I were traveling in St. Louis and discovered this gem right next to our Airbnb. Lucky for us, we were in town on a Saturday night and they had just reopened. I love the idea of a speakeasy, and this place didn’t disappoint. The bartenders really know how to make amazing old fashions and sazeracs. My husband and I throughout enjoyed the drink service and the ambiance.

Cool speakeasy in basement of the Rieger Hotel and restaurant. Entrance to the bar is located behind the restaurant in an alley. Recommend reservations for this popular (very) dark bar. Small space with a combination of bar seating, a few high top tables, a couple of booths and a few tables. Great friendly service and a large cocktail menu. Downside is that the temperature is very warm and it is so dark that reading the menu can be challenging. One of my friends took out his cell phone/flashlight and almost got accosted by a server. No cell phones allowed which is actually quite refreshing. Surprised that photos of interior were allowed. Suggest asking for the larger candle to assist perusing the menu. Servers checked on us several times during our visit. If you don’t have reservations, the hostess can text you/party if a table becomes available. Highly recommend this bar if you are in KC!

A regular stop on my concert travels. Multiple stages,reasonbly priced beer and drinks, free parking and friendly staff make for a gauranteed" bang for the buck". Whether you want to listen to the Word on Wednesday night ; while having a cocktail or see up and coming shows or well known national acts, Knuckleheads delivers. I see between 30 and 40 shows a year. Half are at Knucleheads.Several bands , opening acts, are under the radar and make the experience that much more enjoyable. I have come to despise commercial radio and its' repitition.I like what I like even better when its the first time I've heard. I guess that makes me a Knucklehead too.
