Swordfish Tom's

THE best cocktail bar in KC. Tim and Simone working, Tim is insanely knowledgeable in not only bartending, but hospitality and the cities of Kansas City and Lincoln, Nebraska where this concept first started. Seasonal cocktails were inventive and delicious, and the variations on classic cocktails were equally impressive. An intimate setting of about 30 or so customers, and only …

Came here for drinks on 11/28 and I was very impressed. Took me a minute to find the alley but the wait was well worth it. Atmosphere on the inside was very speakeasy. Drinks were also on point (the root beer drink was my favorite). Looking forward to coming back to town and bringing friends to experience this place!

Tucked behind an unassuming doorway and a hint of mystery, this speakeasy is a true hidden gem that blends vintage charm with a warm, rustic vibe.

Service is always great, cocktails are well thought out, and the atmosphere is definitely that of a speakeasy. Last night I had the Heaven, Bourbon and Earth and it …

Went last night while passing through town. Jill was very friendly, made some recommendations of other places to check out, and the old fashioned wad smooth. The environment is awesome, truly a hidden gem. Next time I'm back in town this is a must for a drink ! Thanks

Such a great spot! Drinks were delicious, service from Tim was out of this world, and crowd was friendly. Highly recommend

If you ever wanted to try a savory cocktail but you were nervous - this is the place to try it. Balanced, beautiful cocktails will not let you down. Bartender was great and lead us in the right direction! Will be back!

Absolutely love this place. It still takes us a minute to locate the entrance. Great, eclectic speakeasy with finely crafted cocktails

Swordfish Tom’s is the kind of place that truly feels like a real speakeasy, not just a hidden bar with a fancy sign. It is intimate, unique, and has an atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in on a secret. The staff are true connoisseurs of cocktails. If nothing on the menu catches your eye, which is honestly …
