Pierpont's

Ride the Kansas City streetcar to the end of the line and you’ll find Union Station, one of the most stunning train stations in America. After craning your neck to stare at the 95-foot ceilings, head to the daily Happy Hour at Pierpont’s inside the station. Their freshly baked bread is good enough to make you not care that the Happy Hour prices don’t really feel like deals—a plate of brussels sprouts will still run you $15. Still, order the fritto misto or tartare and order a martini, just to watch the bartender grab a bottle of vodka nine shelves up, then somehow slide all the way back down the ladder without creating an expensive puddle. 

After Pierpont’s, check out The Conductor Club speakeasy for a movie-themed cocktail experience (so far they’ve featured The Wizard of Oz- and Jurassic Park-inspired menus and go all-out with the decor) or visit the World War I memorial on the hill across the street for the best sunset views of Kansas City.
