Swordfish Tom's - Cocktail bar in Kansas City - 210 W 19 Terrace, USA

Tim was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable & very helpful in answering all of our questions. He even gave us recommendations on what to try next. The drinks, Divine! The bartender is top tier & all the drinks we tried were perfection! The vibe was cozy & laid back. The restrooms were super clean too. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this incredible speakeasy. The bar tender and server were both excellent and friendly. The dark atmosphere and easy going customers made the experience even more fun spotting all of the details in the decorations including the multiple instruments and instrument pieces. It was very clean and I can't wait to go back!

The best cocktails I’ve ever had - I mean that literally not just as a nice compliment. Their tonics and shrubs are made in house, and the ingredients they put together make for some amazing flavors!

What a beautiful, unforgettable experience. A true speakeasy both in its location and atmosphere, this bar will not disappoint. It exceeded our expectations in every way (and we came to Kansas City specifically *for* this bar, so we had some pretty high expectations!). The cocktails are for a sophisticated, discerning palate. I’ve seen some reviews that call the drinks “nothing special,” and I suspect this is because they were looking for something more predictable or heavy handed. If you’re looking for sweet, everyday, crowd-pleasing flavours, this is probably not the bar for you. If you want a cocktail that tells you a story, though, I cannot recommend Swordfish Toms enough. The Resurrection Lilly was a lesson in subtle, narrative cocktailing (velvety, creamy, floral, and tangy all at once), and be sure to end your night with Heaven Bourbon and Earth, which is a multi-layered Manhattan riff containing mushroom syrup (!). Gorgeous. The bartender was wonderful and sweet. Simone was a true gem. We’ll be coming back here as soon as possible.

The best kept secret in KC. We love visiting here. Amazing staff. Incredibly unique cocktails. Always worth the wait. Nothing like it in Kansas City! Cash only, but there is an ATM. Our favorite bar in Kansas City easily.

First thing is this place has an interesting entrance. The door is the only thing with the name and you will go downstairs to a room where you will knock to get in. Love the experience but had never been here so we were not sure we were going the correct way at first! Absolutely love the atmosphere! It is a cash only bar though, but they do have an ATM on site.

This was my first time visiting a speakeasy. Walking down to the entrance definitely made it feel like the real deal. The wait to get let in on a Saturday night was about 25 mins., which isn't too bad for a place that can only seat about 25 people. They have one of the most unique cocktail menus I've ever seen. The guy running the show gave great recs/descriptions and was super cool. The whole vibe was just incredible; hard to put it to words.. you'll just have to go! Terry's chocolate orange and dilli vanilli were both excellent. Blowing smoke packs a MASSIVE punch, but it's very enjoyable if you like the cinnamon and smoke flavor combo. Definitely put some time aside and visit Swordfish Tom's if you're visiting KC.

The people that operate this amazing experience are the best. They are there for you and remember you always,when you return. I promise you will return after your first time. And their drinks are all made with the mixers and flavors all natural and clean, not pre-made syrups like you buy at the stores. Unique drinks that bring you back for the experience.
