If Kansas City had a crown jewel of cocktail craftsmanship, it would shimmer somewhere between the woodgrain and warm glow of In Good Company. Tucked inside downtown’s historic heart, this elevated cocktail bar brings the art of conversation back to the barstool. Here, mixology feels like a love letter to anyone who dares to enter—intimate, intentional, and impressively balanced.
The cocktail list changes with the seasons, but expect flavor-forward drinks built around house-infused spirits and creative garnishes that rival those of any big-city bar. Think mezcal meets fig, espresso kissed with lavender, or a bourbon that’s as smooth as the soundtrack humming through the speakers. Each sip reminds you why KC’s cocktail scene is booming.
Beyond the drinks, In Good Company has curated a crowd that embodies its name—grown, stylish, and socially seasoned. Through its membership program, the bar cultivates a sense of exclusivity and belonging for regulars who appreciate good cocktails and even better company. But don’t worry, you don’t need a membership to experience the space. Day passes are always available. Whether you’re popping in for a nightcap or celebrating something special, you’ll still be welcomed into the fold.
And while the drinks are the star of the show, the team behind the bar, equal parts mixologists and memory-makers, make the entire experience feel personal. Whether you’re cozied up at the bar or chatting with friends in a candlelit corner, In Good Company lives up to its name.
