The 33 Best Restaurants in Kansas City

"Open for: Afternoons until late, Wednesday to Saturday; open and closed earlier on Sundays Price range: $$ 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

The drink menu is one of the most playful in the metro, featuring plenty of wines by the glass, fun carbonated cocktails, and low- or no-ABV drinks (including a Negroni that a blind taster wouldn’t guess was alcohol-free).

My friends and I visited Wild Child for after dinner cocktails and had a lovely experience. The bar is located in downtown Shawnee and they have done a wonderful job reimagining the space for a midwestern "loungey" type experience. We each tried the seasonal cocktails from the menu; our waitress was able to answer all of our questions and wonderings about the libations. The presentation is out of this world, too! They are creative and whimsical. If you are looking for a relaxing setting to enjoy creative cocktails, look. no further than Wild Child in Shawnee, KS!

This place was the perfect place for a fun girl’s night out! It was my first time here and the drinks were different and interesting. You won’t find this anywhere else. There were so many different options for alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks! We will definitely be back to try different drinks next time!

Wild Child is a hidden gem that transports you far from the ordinary. From the moment I stepped in, the bar's welcoming atmosphere and exceptional attention to detail were immediately apparent. Emily, the staff member who assisted my party, was not just friendly, but truly outstanding—her knowledge, patience, and attentiveness elevated the entire experience. During my visit, I was delighted by the creative cocktails, which were as visually stunning as they were delicious. In a serendipitous moment, I found myself chatting with the bartender, only to discover he was actually the owner—a testament to his humble and approachable nature. His passion for craft cocktails and genuine hospitality shines through every interaction. The bar's ambiance is nothing short of magical, with a beautiful design that makes you feel like you've escaped to another world. The carefully curated music added another layer of enjoyment to the evening, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable night out. For those seeking a cocktail experience that goes beyond the ordinary, Wild Child is an absolute must-visit. I'm already planning my return trip and can't wait to explore their neighboring spot, Drastic Measures. This is a solid 10/10 recommendation that I'll be sharing with everyone.

Always a go-to for a date or drinks with friends. Every drink is so damn good, that it’s hard to decide whether to stick with an old favorite or try something new. The crew here is friendly and provides above and beyond service. When we came with my friend who is expecting a baby, she loved the N/A options, and one of the bartenders surprised our group with some N/A “shots” to celebrate her good news. Oh, and my favorite party guest tip? Show up with a 6-pack of WC’s cocktails to go, and you’ll be the most popular person there.

Wild Child is such a great place to get a cocktail (or mocktail). I’ve been several times with friends, always on Thursday evenings after trivia next door at Friction. The staff are always so friendly & put up with my friends that can be a little too silly sometimes. They’re great at explaining tastes of different ingredients if you ask. Each drink I’ve tried has been great. The bar is absolutely gorgeous, cozy, and welcoming as well. One of my favorite things is that I know how much Wild Child + Drastic Measures & their owner do for the community/charity.
