Libations & Company

Nestled in the heart of downtown Lee's Summit, Libations & Company offers a uniquely vibrant experience that perfectly blends the sophistication of a boutique liquor store with the inviting allure of a cocktail lounge. Located at 25 SE 3rd St, this multifaceted establishment stands out not just for its exceptional selection of spirits and wines but also for its handcrafted cocktails that elevate casual evenings and special nights alike.

Libations & Company is a true haven for cocktail aficionados and casual sippers alike. Their signature Big O' Fashioned — a masterful combination of Four Roses bourbon, Big O Ginger Liqueur, and Black Walnut Bitters — exemplifies the bar’s commitment to craft and quality. If you’re in the mood for something with a twist, the Big Dickel delivers a playful take on the classic Whiskey Sour, blending George Dickel Whiskey, ginger liqueur, and lemon juice in perfect balance. For a regional touch, the Horsefeather, a Missouri/Kansas original, combines J. Rieger Whiskey, ginger beer, and Angostura bitters in a refreshingly spirited marriage. Whiskey and bourbon lovers will find a comfortable home here, but the menu also shines with refreshing classics like the Michelada, Lemon Drop Martini, and an enticing Aperol Spritz, offering something for every palate.

Beyond the cocktails, the wine list is thoughtfully curated featuring selections such as Rapido Pinot Grigio, Peyrassol La Croix Rosé, and a robust Submission Cabernet Sauvignon, catering to both casual wine drinkers and connoisseurs. Those looking for something non-alcoholic can delight in a creative array of mocktails, from the crisp Cucumber Mint Cooler to the playful Boss Tom Collins, proving that a great drink experience is never limited by alcohol content.

The atmosphere at Libations & Company is where it truly comes alive. Customers repeatedly praise the comfortable seating—ranging from bar stools and cozy couches to booths perfect for groups—and the warm, inviting ambiance that feels intimate yet effortlessly stylish. Megan Owensby of Go Move With Megan described it as “the perfect place for a low key bar after work” and highlighted how the upstairs lounge turns into a jazz haven, creating a classy yet relaxed setting ideal for a date night or a gathering with friends.

Patrons like Lena Sleyster appreciate not only the impeccable craftsmanship behind every drink but also the attentiveness and warmth of the staff. The dedication owner Seth shows by sourcing fresh, local, chemical-free herbs and edible flowers for seasonal menus adds layers of authenticity and care that discerning guests notice and adore. The service, from bartenders to servers like Rider who are attentive “every sip of the way,” elevates the whole experience to something personal and memorable.

Whether you’re swinging by to pick up a special bottle from their liquor store shelves or settling in for a night of live jazz and expertly mixed drinks, Libations & Company promises a vibe that’s both vibrant and welcoming. As one enthusiastic visitor put it, the place “simply oozes an atmosphere that is hard to produce anywhere else”—a rare gem that feels like a luxurious escape without leaving Lee’s Summit.

For anyone seeking a cocktail bar that transcends the ordinary with its craftsmanship, community spirit, and inviting ambiance, Libations & Company is a standout destination not to be missed.
