About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
  • Great for happy hour
Hidden from the long arm of Prohibition-era law, Kansas City’s speakeasies welcomed revelers seeking good spirits and a spirited good time.An affectionate nod to the city’s glamorous, freewheeling nightlife, P.S. is Hotel Phillips’ contemporary incarnation of the 1930’s speakeasy, artfully crafting cocktails concealed in a long-forgotten basement mail sorting room, accessible only by an secret door. Under the radar, underground and undercover, P.S. celebrates its USPS roots, delivering today’s imbibers nothing short of a certified first-class experience.

    Cool speakeasy bar … has a “secret” entrance even. The room is elegant; great, comfy seating, perfectly lit. The staff was attentive, but still allowed you to chill and relax. They pour wonderful bevies, very nice selection of spirits. GO on Thursday night … very good jazz trio with a nice NOLA vibe.

    It was different than I expected, not much of a 1920s vibe. The drinks were very expensive, but they were strong. Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. They do have a photo booth there. So that was a fun way to get a reminder of the night

    Very nice venue with a tremendous and excellent selection of drinks. It has a dark and comfy atmosphere which can transpose you to the prohibition era. Note that occasionally the elevator will get you down but you have to take the stairs to return to the entrance on the first level.

    Used to love going here when staying at the Phillips Hotel. This last visit certainly fell short. I ordered a Sazerac, a classic, and it came cloudy, obviously shaken. They remade it and it was better, but surprising a speakeasy struggled with a classic. Second drink was a Manhattan and it was ok, but not great. The place has a good vibe, but it was more crowded than usual. I would limit number of people to keep it quieter and get back to some basics with a focus on drink quality.

    I had a fantastic experience! The ambience was truly exceptional—cozy and inviting, without being too loud, which made for great conversation. The cocktail menu was impressive, offering a broad selection of classic favorites alongside creative craft cocktails. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish and enjoyable night out.

    The dimly lit speakeasy space is pretty well decorated, which saved this place. That said, it was as noisy as a college bar with people standing and shouting to talk, which is not in keeping with the speakeasy vibe. Drinks were decidedly average. The old fashioned drinks were unbalanced, oddly having too much heat on the first sip and then becoming too watery after letting it sit for a few minutes. The smoked version of the old fashioned was decidedly better. Spirits menu is average, but pricing is decent.

    Nice dim ambiance. Nice music. Nice decor. Might consider serving some snacks or basic small plate since the Italian restaurant in the hotel is terrible.
