“God found the earth to be so full of sin that he flooded it once, and swore he would never do it again. God flooded the West Bottoms twice.” - Old Kansas City Folklore
You are cordially invited to drink with the dead…
This fall, Apparition crosses the veil into the West Bottoms—the city’s most infamous district of sin, slaughter, and secrets. From the cowboy brawls of Hell’s Half Acre, to the debauchery of the Wettest Block in the World, to the concrete underworld of Boss Tom Pendergast, the streets here are paved with ghosts.
Now, those crooks, killers, and restless spirits return—summoned by Apparition’s Alchemists with a menu of sinister craft cocktails. Classic favorites rise from the grave alongside new drinks inspired by the Bottoms’ macabre mysteries. Each glass is a tale of Kansas City’s haunted past, poured just for you.
