Looking for something fun to do in Kansas City??
Why not check out one of the many distilleries in the KC area! Prohibition didn't stop some of these distilleries from re-opening, so what's stopping you from visiting??
J Rieger & Co.
Located: 2700 Guinotte Ave, Kansas City, MO 64120
A distillery founded in 1887 that was once shut down in 1919 due to Prohibition and is now a popping and vibrant place to visit in Kansas City: Jacob Rieger & Company. After opening back up a century after Prohibition, Kansas City is proud to be this distillery's home. Take a tour and learn all about the history of this brand, along with some of their methods in making one of Kansas City's tastiest spirits.
Finished with the tour? Step outside into the Electric Park area. There is plenty of seating and spots to take cute pics! Warm or cold, this patio is a phenomenal spots to hang out with friends, family, or on a date!
Feeling hungry after the distillery tour?? Go upstairs to the Monogram Lounge to enjoy delectable dishes while sipping on freshly distilled spirits. You cannot leave without going down the slide from the top floor to the bottom!
ps - you get a sticker if you go down the slide ;)
Lifted Spirits Distillery
Located: 1734 Cherry St, Kansas City, MO 64108
Lifted Spirits Distillery is located downtown Kansas City/Crossroads and serves some of the best drinks in the area! Our tour was led by the owner and CEO himself. You could tell just how passionate and educated he was when it comes to distilling spirits and trying new recipes. Take a tour, visit their tasting room, and grab a bottle to go!
You can also find some food trucks parked outside. The smoked mac and cheese side dish with pork belly and kimchi is from Smoke'n Seoul....YUMMMM
