PS

This is a top tier speak easy in KC. It has true speakeasy vibes and the Gatsby atmosphere is top notch. The problem is that it is always booked and reserved up! The service was solid here and we will be back when we plan ahead.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience at P.S. Speakeasy was abysmal from start to finish.We arrived on time for our 8:30 reservation, only to wait 15 minutes to be seated in a half-empty venue. When we were finally sat, it was at a wooden table under harsh fluorescent lights--hardly the dark, mysterious atmosphere one expects from a speakeasy. It felt more like a cafeteria than a cozy, intimate bar.The service, however, was the real nightmare. Despite watching wait staff bus tables, fill water glasses, and attend to virtually every other table, we were blatantly ignored. After patiently waiting, I finally asked a staff member if he could take our order, only to be met with a sarcastic "Yeah!" before he continued prioritizing other customers. It was humiliating and infuriating.We ultimately got up and left, but not before bringing this fiasco to management's attention. If you're looking for a place that values its customers and provides even halfway decent service, look elsewhere. P.S. Speakeasy is all style and no substance--and even the "style" is questionable. We will never go back.

P.S. is the epitome of speakeasy entrances as it's hidden inside of the Hotel Phillips. You could easily be standing right in front of the door and not even know it's there. While this speakeasy does take reservations, you can also go directly to hotel reception and ask for a table at P.S. and they can tell you if there is availability. The atmosphere here is amazing and a perfect location for date night. As for the drinks, I must recommend the Baltimore Break that is pear focused or the Fountain City which is like being smacked in the face by a lemon. This is one of the top two speakeasies in all of Kansas City, so be sure to arrive early or you might be waiting a while for a seat.You can see more of our experience on our YouTube travel channel: https://youtu.be/A508y__Cka4

Great for late night cocktails or date night. Been here a couple times to speakeasy if you make reservations, you get in a booth if you don't, you gotta sit at the table or the bar.

PS is yet another awesome speakeasy in Kansas City. Located inside of the Hotel Phillips, for this one you must talk to the front desk people to obtain access. The entrance is an unmarked white door that you can actually see through the front window. They have live music and a high-end whiskey collection. The PS Old Fashioned was a treat. Not the best speakeasy in town, but it is a must-visit spot for those who seek a classy experience.

PS is a great spot to grab a drink whether you're on your own or in a group. The bar staff are friendly and able to mix up just about any drink you might desire. The entrance to PS is hidden which is to be expected for a speakeasy but you'll definitely have a smile once the door opens. It's a beautifully decorated spot with good sound so be sure to give it a shot.

You have to make reservations here if you want to get in. It makes it feel very exclusive and secretive. We had a very long wait for our cocktails but WOW it was very much worth the wait. PS offered a lot of local kc spirit based cocktails to choose from. I was able to share a section from their menu below. The jazz and the personality from the band was fantastic, they loved to interact with the crowd and we ended up talking with a few of them after their set. Overall a very cozy and fun speakeasy if that is your vibe.

This Speakeasy is located in the basement of Hotel Phillips, and is indeed the definition of a hidden gem. However, there are a few caveats. The bar itself is pretty small, and the acoustics lean towards loud, so if you're looking for an intimate table, I suggest one of the bigger booths along the backside wall. Unlike some other sprawling Speakeasys in the city, PS doesn't have room for live entertainment, but they curate the music impeccably. Last time, I was crooned with a discography solely sang by Amy Winehouse and was thrilled with that. Service here can be a tad slow, but if you're visiting a bar like this, you shouldn't be trying to rush in or out. PS requires you to relish in the vibes and sink into the darkness while carrying on a conversation or sitting alone with your thoughts. When I find myself within either of those situations, I always choose to sip on a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. At PS, the aforementioned is what I stick with, and it's a strong one. A classic old fashioned with Rye whiskey that isn't too sweet and heavy on the pour. I find myself fond of PS, it makes a great starting point for an evening full of festivities, or it's a great post script to round out a night out on the town.

Spencer at the bar was very knowledgeable and made our experience amazing. Great service and great times! We will be back

It's hit or miss. One night the drinks and ambiance were good, the next, eh not so much.
