Excellent tequila and the staff is very fun. They sell 750ml bottles of their tequila and 4 packs of the Paloma. It is a ‘must stop’ when you are in the Crossroads area. Plus, where else can you get a Scorpion Sucker? Yes, I am...Read More

Friendly and welcoming service. Excellent cocktails. The Gold Fashioned and Mean Mule were wonderful. Note: if you get the Mule spicy, it brings the heat! Your lips will be burning, but it's still excellent. The prices for the cocktails is about what you'd expect. I...Read More

Great place for tequila cocktails. Bartender was very friendly. She made me an awesome drink with some ghost peppers that really had a kick. Highly recommend!

These new canned Palomas are possibly the best canned cocktails in the whole city. So good, and reasonably priced. Easily my favorite drink of summer 2024. Will look forward to future offerings, their first go at cans is shockingly good!

Trendy, young crowd. Fairly priced drinks, with specials every day. I recommend getting a flight - their agave-based liquors are uniquely rich but light (pleasantly different than tequila/mezcal). The poblano variety is not spicy at all, and the gin is far from your typical English...Read More

This place is by far one of the best bars in KC. They distill their own agave and gin, have fantastic cocktails, and the staff are outstanding. Don't miss this place. Support local businesses it really does matter.

One of our most frequented bars in KC for good reason. Incredible atmosphere, excellent quality and inventive, great drinks all-year long. Great staff, good vibes, and women owned? Slay. We always have a great time at Mean Mule and highly recommend it!
