Wild Child Libations

The 33 Best Restaurants in Kansas City | Eater

"Sip an ube daiquiri or spoon through feather-light “street corn kakigori” in this buoyant bar with caramel-colored booths, sunny floral accents, and loads of natural light. The cocktails are some of the most playful in the metro, right down to the bar’s creative glassware and intentionally overwrought garnishes. But the bar pays just as much attention to its wines by the glass and no-ABV drinks (try the Negroni, which a blind taster wouldn’t guess was alcohol-free). Wild Child doesn’t have a back bar, so the options are strictly limited to the menu. Know before you go: For a wider selection, visit next door sister bar Drastic Measures, which was nominated for the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Bar award in 2023." - Liz Cook
