Vampire Cocktail Party

Lifted Spirits Distillery is hosting a Vampire Cocktail Party on Friday, October 23, from 6 PM to 1 AM. It's a themed night that takes over the tasting room, so if you've been looking for a way to lean into the season, this is a good place to start.

The party fills the tasting room at Lifted Spirits, a distillery that started as a hobby, making special batches for birthdays and family celebrations—and still pours that same intention into every bottle. The room serves cocktails, spirits, and local beers, and it has a family-dinner, game-night vibe. It's the kind of spot that feels more like a living room than a bar, which makes it a comfortable home for a themed night.

Above the tasting room is The Hayloft, the building's second floor and former stable of the Smith Brothers Steam Bakery. It's been restored with its original hayloft doors and beams intact, and it now serves as a venue for events of up to 175 people. While the party is centered in the tasting room, the whole building carries that history of the old bakery and stable.

If you're planning to go, the party runs from 6 PM on Friday, October 23, and keeps going until 1 AM, so there's plenty of room to settle in. You'll find Lifted Spirits Distillery at 1734 Cherry St. in Kansas City, MO 64108.
