New Orleans
The Monogram Lounge
The Monogram Lounge sits inside Kansas City's historic J. Rieger & Co. distillery, a 40-foot bar overlooking the active production floor where every spirit served is distilled on site. Floor-to-ceiling views showcase the custom-built column and pot stills, original hardwoods from 1901, and curated high-end furniture create an atmosphere of refined indulgence. The menu reaches beyond cocktails to shareable small bites like famous burnt ends and artisanal charcuterie. This is where craft spirits meet craft hospitality in a space that honors industrial heritage while delivering modern elegance. Reservations are welcome Wednesday through Sunday.
