An amazing speakeasy in KC. Talented and kind staff craft exceptional cocktails and create a great environment.

Denied entry after waiting 30 minutes in a subterranean hotbox. Not worth it. Next.

Questions & Answers

I plan on bringing my wife to swordfish this Saturday around 6pm. I may have 8-12 people coming . Is it difficult to seat that many usually on a Saturday evening around 6?

Michael Mcneill | Sep 20, 2020
Keith Becker | Sep 20, 2020

Yes.

Does anyone know if they are still requiring vaccination cards as of May 2022?

Hello. As of this weekend, we have made the decision to drop the vax card requirement. According to the CDC, we are past the herd immunity point, although that does not mean different strains will not pop up that will challenge that, and we reserve the right to enforce that policy in the future. We certainly don’t want to alienate people who cannot get vaccinated, or who have a good reason to have reservation. At this point, if they choose to take the risk of being in our space, that is their choice. We look forward to returning to slightly more normal procedures, and with the support of our guests, we will continue to support great causes like LGBTQIA, Planned Parenthood, and Black Lives Matter. Cheers, and be well!

I will have a group of 14 planning to come to Swordfish Tom’s on April 1st. Would you be able to seat a party that large?

Our capacity is roughly 30. We can never guarantee that large groups will get in at the same time or be able to sit together. Our seating is modular like a living room. We are always first come first served. We do not take reservations. I would suggest coming right at open at 4 PM. Cheers!

Is it still cash only?

How do I make a reservation? Phone number?

No reservations, you just show up and if the lantern is green you can knock on the door and they'll let you in, and if it's red, you can wait in the waiting area.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Swordfish Tom's is taking safety seriously. Masks all around, limits on capacity, a mandatory squirt of sanitizer before you're allowed in... Like everything they do, it's done properly.

What's typical wait time for a Saturday evening?

How do we get in if they don’t take reservations? Is there a text number or call number or email ??

Can someone under 21 come to Swordfish Tom's (but not drink, of course). I would like to take my daughters (23 and 20) there. 20-yr old will be designated driver.

Angela Quinlan | Sep 21, 2019
Andrew Mccollum | Sep 21, 2019

No. This establishment serves alcohol only, and by law no one under 21 can come in.

Do you need a reservation?

Mouthdrop Gaming | Sep 21, 2018
Caleb J. Ross | Sep 21, 2018

No. But space is limited. In fact, I don't think they take reservations.
