During Prohibition, Kansas City gained its reputation as “The City of Sin,” due to the many speakeasy jazz clubs and wide-open nightlife. The attitude, personality and spirit of the district established another of the city’s nicknames as the, “Paris of the Plains.” Tom Pendergast and Al Capone frequented, Manifesto, an intimate speakeasy underneath the historic Rieger Hotel and restaurant. Today, the site is central to KC’s cocktail revival and annual mixology festival.
