Fabulous joint.
We reserved two seats at the bar and bellied up to enjoy some delicious cocktails.
From the comfy seating to the mood, lighting the entire place simply oozed an atmosphere that is hard to produce anywhere, let alone our little hamlet in Lee's Summit.
We felt like we were out of town visiting some far away land.
Our server Rider made sure we were taken care of every step of the way.
This place is an absolute hit in our book.
Well done, Libations, well done!

Great speak easy type of environment reservations are preferred. This place offers an amazing variety of mixologist style cocktails. Love the ambiance very sexy and intimate. The owner is a very kind gut with great energy. We order two different cocktails and both taste great but my favorite was a smoked Old Fashioned. Needless to say this is a must visit place and I cant wait to get back and enjoy more cultivated cocktails.

This is a great place to relax alone, with friends, or that special someone. Lounge and have a few drinks, enjoy snacking on an expertly displayed charcuterie board, and take in a live performance in style. The booths and couches wrap you in comfort, even the table and chairs are enjoyable. The staff are all super friendly, providing service with a smile. And the bartenders really know how to whip up a cocktail! I highly recommend the Side Car 😉, but sip responsibly, they'll sneak up on you.

Looking for a nite out listening to some live music 🎶? Then this is the place to be!
You need a reservation if you want live music (didn’t know this when reserving online) upstairs & that’s $5. I had reserved a couch however found out it was for downstairs, hence no charge. If there are seats open u can gain entry to live music upstairs for just $5. U can order drinks up there also.
We had a small charcuterie board. There are also pretzels 🥨 u can order besides drinks. So eat before u come or go to Poppy’s ice cream 🍦 after.
Downstairs played a variety of old jazz. The couple next to us was nice to talk to. The clothing attire was on the dressier side - the crowd going up, was pretty casual. Hey, u do u!
The cocktails were strong after adding a shot. The pineapple painkiller was tasty. There were some others & if I recall, I will note it by the photo.
It’s a dark place except very low lighting & the windows. I liked it! Plenty of cocktails 🍹 to choose from.
Go check them out. U have nothing to lose but time. So spend it on Libations & Co. Perfect place to stop on ur way yo somewhere else. Unless ur coming for the music. May try it another time just for that.
Happy drinking!

Excellent cocktail bar in downtown Lee’s Summit, MO. It was really busy, even on a Tuesday evening. While I enjoyed the overall vibe and drink selection (they offer standard drinks + some deviations), I didn’t think the staff was very helpful in their drink recommendations, as compared to staff I’ve met at other places. Overall, highly recommended cocktail bar in that area!
Libations & Company is a perfect addition to downtown Lee's Summit. It nice to have live music and owner that cares (we believe his name is Seth Allen). My wife made reservations for the 1909 Club which is their upstairs lounge area that has music. Fun fact 1909 Club was named after the year the building was built. We arrived a little before our 6 pm reservations and were given a seat on Libations custom Chesterfield coach which was super cool. The vibe on the first level is elegant yet dark and moody. It was not crowded or overly loud which was also fantastic. After we were seated we found out that the live music did not start until 7 pm. That might have been one of our only "grips". There is not much to do besides drink which is OK, but the limited bar food makes it hard not to get a little boarded and drunk to fast lol. We did get to meet Seth as we were one of the first guests to arrive. He was extremely helpful and really cares about how the live music sounds. It was impressive how detailed he got when setting up love act. We will absolutely be back again and just plan to eat before we arrive. Lee's Summit is doing a fantastic job and Libations & Company is a great sign of great things to come!

Awesome drinks, a bit pricey for LS, but very nice atmosphere in awesome downtown LS. Probably could do an upgrade to their sound system to make it more immersive.
Enjoyed. Expect 14-17 dollars for their specialty drinks.

If you are a looking for a place to find everything you need to kick off a home bar hobby, this joint is killer. I've picked up bar tools, bitters, syrups and booze from their great collection of curated spirits. I even have a cool, handmade bartenders apron from Libations. Our family loves to hang out a while and have a hand crafted cocktail from their remarkable menu. I recommend the Till Death cocktail from the Summer menu. A perfect starter. The deco is spot on and the vibe is killer. Enjoy the views of the energetic Downtown Lee's Summit district from the 2 top window table.
Not only did they charge extortionate prices but having seated us they then decided to tell us they had other customers and we should leave despite the many open tables available. Never going back. #Disgusted.
Update:
Having read the response of Libations let me clarify a couple of things. When we arrived we were seated at the bar, we were not told that reservations were required or that we would be asked to leave when people with reservations arrived. We were not offered a different seating option just told we had to leave, again there were plenty of empty tables. We are quiet, 58 year old + calm customers, not unruly belligerent people. We ordered a nostalgic drink called a Whiskey Mac which, credit to the bartender was made well. But then we were charged $30 per drink.
I know that businesses rely on good reviews and I am happy to post them when I get good service and good value.
Sadly neither of which I received.
