Percheron Rooftop Bar, Rooftop bar in Crossroads district, Kansas City, United States.
Percheron is a rooftop bar atop the Crossroads Hotel that overlooks the city from above with an industrial aesthetic and metal railings throughout. The space combines modern furnishings with an open-air setting for cocktails and food.
The name references the Percheron horse breed that was once used by a brewery that operated near this location. The neighborhood developed as an industrial and brewing hub in earlier decades.
The rooftop sits in the artistic Crossroads neighborhood where local artists and creative types gather regularly. The space becomes a social hub during monthly First Friday art walks, with visitors watching street performances and visiting nearby galleries between drinks.
The rooftop is most comfortable on warm evenings and weekends when crowds spread out more easily. Bring layers of clothing since it can be breezy at height, and wear sturdy shoes on the outdoor terrace.
The bartenders here create custom cocktails based on what each guest enjoys rather than only serving preset menu items. Many drinks feature unexpected ingredients like tropical fruit or hot peppers mixed into classic spirits.
