Kansas City folks, get ready! This fall, Audrey’s Wine + Bourbon is set to open its doors right in the heart of the Waldo neighborhood at 404 W. 75 St. The upcoming bar is the brainchild of the dynamic duo Laura and Howard Turley, and they’re eager to bring a unique tasting experience to our city.
Pairing Wine and Bourbon: A Match Made in Heaven
Audrey’s is not your average watering hole; it’s all about mixing things up! Imagine sipping a delightful glass of red wine while enjoying a side of bourbon. Sounds intriguing, right? The trained staff at Audrey’s will help patrons discover how to best pair wine and bourbon, making it a head-turner in the local bar scene. The idea of sipping both together might sound a little unusual to some, but there’s a nifty blend to explore, especially with the knowledge and guidance from the bar’s team.
A Sip of the Best
When it comes to the drinks, Audrey’s won’t disappoint. Expect a tantalizing selection of wines sourced from Oregon and Washington alongside renowned bourbon brands including Buffalo Trace. For those who prefer a non-alcoholic option, there’s good news—Audrey’s will also offer a selection of delightful mocktails, ensuring there’s something to quench everyone’s thirst.
A Stylish Transformation Awaits
In the mood for ambiance? The Turleys are transforming a former tax preparation office into a stylish and moody space inspired by the fabulous 1920s. With a mix of dark and vibrant vintage decor, the atmosphere is sure to invite you in for a cozy drink with friends. Plus, it’s conveniently located right next to the Turleys’ event venue, 75th Street Events, at 214 W. 75th St., putting you just steps away from celebrating in style.
A New Family Legacy
Isn’t it heartwarming? The bar’s name, Audrey’s, is a sweet nod to the Turleys’ adorable 8-year-old granddaughter. It simply rolled off the tongue and stuck with them while they worked on this new venture. Little Audrey can’t wait to see her grandparent’s new spot and eagerly anticipates a Shirley Temple served just for her when the bar officially opens!
Why Wine and Bourbon Together?
Curious about the concept? While sipping wine and bourbon together isn’t the norm, rest assured that it’s a combination worth your attention. The industry has even heralded it as a “dynamic duo.” One such cocktail that features both is the New York Sour, a tantalizing concoction proving that these two beloved beverages can create something extraordinary when paired correctly.
What’s New in Waldo?
As the city welcomes another option to its thriving bar scene, locals can still enjoy spots like Dodson’s Bar and Commons, Walsh’s Corner Cocktails, and Waldo Bar & Rec. However, change is in the air, as longtime wine bar and grocer, The Pairing, will soon close its doors at 1516 Oak St. by June 1. So pop in while you can to grab some last-minute favorites!
Wrapping It Up
As Kansas City continues to grow and adapt, Audrey’s Wine + Bourbon is gearing up to become a beloved addition. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just dipping your toes into the world of bourbon, there’s sure to be something special awaiting you at this exciting new establishment.
