Raise a glass with friends from Kansas City’s remarkable cocktail bars, distilleries, and hospitality scene at our
2nd Annual Til Death The Speakeasy Appreciation Happy Hour.
We’re thrilled to welcome a very special guest all the way from New York City — legendary bartender Sother Teague.

Sother is one of the most respected and influential figures in the craft cocktail world. He’s the owner of Amor y Amargo, NYC’s celebrated bitters-and-amaro sanctuary. He co-hosts the award-winning podcast The Speakeasy and was named Mixologist of the Year by Wine Enthusiast. Sother is also an author of cocktail classics like I’m Just Here for the Drinks and Let’s Get Blitzen, and a mentor and educator to bartenders around the world.
Whether you’re a cocktail nerd, bar owner, bartender, distiller, or just passionate about hospitality, this is a rare chance to meet and mingle with one of the craft’s best.
