12 Baltimore - KC's Longest Happy Hour
The Hotel Phillips in the
heart of downtown truly qualifies as a remarkable location. For one thing, it
was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, fifty years after
it opened. It has art deco down pat and a gilded elegance you seldom see here. Just walking into the hotel takes you back to
a time we see only in the movies.
Its restaurant and bar, 12
Baltimore, has a lovely, looonnnggg happy hour – from 3 – 7p.m. weekdays, which
means, for many of us, dinner is available at a highly reduced rate – all the
apps are half price. Beers are cheap, cheap I say and they have drink specials
every night – the best are $3 margaritas on Mondays, 1/2 price signature
cocktails on Tuesdays, or $4 wine (Coastal Vines) on Fridays. They also have a $6
blue Royals vodka lemonade drink on days the Royals play, though I haven’t had
it yet.
The place has a laid-back
vibe and feels cozy – you can come by yourself and not feel weird. There is music three nights a week, Acoustic
Thursdays, Feature Fridays and Live Jazz Saturdays. Although I haven’t seen her, there’s an
artist (and her studio) in residence.
How cool is that?
Lots of Kansas Citians forget
this place. They shouldn’t.
