J. Rieger & Co.
J. Rieger & Company was founded in 1887 in Kansas City’s West Bottoms Livestock Exchange district. The brand offered over 100 alcoholic products and took pride in maintaining a quarter of a million unique customers by offering mail-order delivery services. In 1919, Prohibition was enacted by the federal government and wasn’t reversed until 1933. J. Rieger & Co. was a casualty at the time, but was not destined to be lost forever. Now, a century after Prohibition, we are proud once again to call Kansas City home.
J. Rieger & Co has two bars in its Distillery (1) The Monogram Lounge on the Second Floor or (2) The Hey! Hey! Club in the lower level. It also has an immense outdoor patio area with fire pits and ample seating.
