The Brass Monkey Lounge

Kansas City, Missouri

Brass Monkey Lounge invites guests in for story driven cocktails, intimate surroundings and experiences designed for curious drinkers, describing itself as a place for craft cocktails and hidden stories in downtown Kansas City. The lounge runs a Test Lab series that takes one ingredient at a time, working through bitters and amari including Nonino, Montenegro and Campari, and it also hosts a happy hour and an industry night. A new dog friendly patio called the Garden Bar is open for cocktails and relaxed outdoor seating, taking walk ins on its own 21+ schedule. Reservations for the main room are recommended but not required, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings.
