Parkway’s signature cocktails will feel familiar, and they’re always delicious. Any of these drinks are a great way to end a happy hour on the Kansas City Plaza.
- Fig Old Fashioned: The Old Fashioned is arguably the cornerstone of all cocktails. Most bar enthusiasts trace its roots back over 200 years. It’s reliable, and it has stood the test of time. Parkway’s Fig Old Fashioned is a slight twist on the classic recipe — not so different that you won’t recognize it, but unique enough to give you a new experience. This Fig Old Fashioned is built on Parkway’s house-infused fig and vanilla bean whiskey, perfectly mixed with maple simple syrup and bitters. Sip it slow and savor it — you’ll want more when it’s gone.
- Pama Paloma: With Tres Agaves Añejo Tequila and Pama, some lime juice, honey peppercorn syrup for sweet and spicy, and a splash of soda, this is the way to unwind. Even people who swear they’re not tequila drinkers have fallen in love with this one.
- Son of a Fisk: Named for the master behind the best Bloody Mary you’ve ever had, this deserves to be more than a brunch drink. It’s Jeff’s vodka that does it — you can see it being infused on the bar with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, green beans, celery, dill pickles and jalapeño.
Why Not Stay for Dinner?
Hopefully, happy hour has you feeling good. That is the whole point, after all. Why not stay for dinner?
Parkway’s dinner menu is available starting at 4 p.m. That two-hour overlap is a great chance to fill up with Parkway’s delicious take on classic comfort foods with your bargain beverages. An appetizer plate of our stuffed tater tots or a sandwich like the Prime Rib Sandwich served with seasoned fries is the perfect match for your Plaza happy hour drink.
Either way — if you’re just going for drinks or if you’re staying around for the food — Parkway is your destination for a great happy hour on the Plaza in Kansas City. Drop in anytime between 3–7 and see for yourself.
We’ll see you soon.
