We had an extremely disappointing and embarrassing experience at Voodoo Lounge. We drove over an…read morehour to Kansas City specifically to see Dolewite, purchased VIP tickets, and paid for a hotel for the night. This was a planned night out that we were genuinely excited about. My husband was removed from the venue for "swaying" a few times on the dance floor. That was it. No aggression, no disruption, no intoxicated behavior, no confrontation. He has severe knee issues and was simply shifting his weight while standing and enjoying the music. Instead of checking in or handling the situation with any kind of discretion or compassion, security immediately escalated it and kicked us out entirely. It was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely ruined our night. We lost our VIP experience, the show we traveled for, and the money spent on tickets and lodging. There was absolutely no attempt to understand the situation or treat us like paying customers. This could have been handled in a respectful way, but it was not. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, and I would caution others that security here seems overly aggressive and unwilling to use basic judgment. A night that was meant to be fun turned into an awful memory. Side note: We did not drive , we took uber to and from hotel. It was an expensive evening-RUINED! Also , I googled voodoo lounge after we got back to hotel and the aggressive behavior seems to be a trend of theirs. Something needs to change. We had a lady directly in front of us thrashing about and spilling her drink ALL OVER THE FLOOR and she was left alone. Made zero sense.

OffKey itself is a fun karaoke bar with private rooms for groups. Our group had a great time going through various songs in the catalogue and enjoying a few drinks. We didn't spend much time at the actual bar out in the main area, but it looked snazzy and our waitress was on the ball with drinks to our private room. My minor quibbles are that several of the songs...the lyrics weren't actually right? And it didn't seem like the mics worked particularly well. But it was good enough for friends just having drinks blasting out well known tunes together. Overall it was a good time. Just dress appropriately for the walk over, make sure you've got your ID (they card), and try not to sing too far...off key.

We had a decent-sized groups in one of the rooms. We had a really good time, so although I'm going…read moreto make some suggestions here that might seem like it was lacking, overall I would say it was a lot of fun and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. The room was reasonably comfortable, though maybe could have used one or two more TVs to reduce neck strain for all the seating. The person taking orders for our room was friendly but slow to bring orders or circle back for new orders. We appreciated having some cups and water left for us to fill the gap between drinks. The sound system or the platform they use at times was difficult to hear the music prompts to follow along. The music seemed a bit too stripped down to pick up at times especially when several people were singing along. The system would add it's own song suggestions, which I can understand the reasoning for that, but it ended up kind of overwhelming our list of preferred songs and we ended up having to frequently skip several songs in a row that had been added "for us". The "disco lights" in the room added a fun touch but there were a couple that were like red laser lights that ended up being a bit too much as they'd zap you in the eyes while trying to watch the screen. I did leave with a stiff neck and a bit of a headache from the lights, but it had already been a long day at the office so that likely added to it.

I have been on two occasions but there won't be a third. This place LOOKS really cool. We…read moreabsolutely loved the decor--it is very cool. Our first visit was okay, though we found the drinks to be extraordinarily weak. The server was very nice, and the DJ was great. Unfortunately there's not a designated dance floor and it is so brightly lit no one was dancing when we left at 9:30pm. Despite all that we decided to go back, thinking it would be better on NYE... First, we purchased tickets online AND reserved a table for 6 via the website, but when we arrived we were told they oversold and we could only have a high top with 4 stools. STRIKE 1. I made a reservation for 6, not 4. The event said doors open at 4pm with a complimentary buffet between 6-8pm. The buffet was a salad, lasagna, mac and cheese, chicken strips, and a quesadilla--all of which were delicious. Unfortunately, there was ONE bartender and ZERO servers until after 7pm so we had to go to the bar to order a drink. In fact, no one came to take our order at our table until after 8pm. STRIKE 2. The DJ played some great music but kept cranking up the volume to the point that standing shoulder-to-shoulder we couldn't talk to each other. Additionally, because they oversold, we were surrounded on all sides by people standing around, bumping and brushing by us. STRIKE 3. We ended up leaving around 8:45pm because it was painfully loud, no one was dancing because the area where you would expect dancing was full of people standing around, and we had to take turns sitting/standing because our reservation for 6 was not honored. Sadly I cannot recommend this place.

It's not my normal scene but I've always had a good time and I feel like it's run really well. It's located smack dab in the middle of power and light. Parking lots are around but it'll cost at least $20. You do have a streetcar option. I usually park a mile away and just walk. There are a ton of restaurants that surround it, a large stage, tvs, and lots and lots of bars. It's outdoors but there's a large canopy that blocks some of the sun. There are two levels, the upper level is great if it gets crowded because the lower level gets a little stuffy and hot when bodies start packing in. You can enjoy a bit of a breeze if you're on the upper level and it tends to not be as crowded. But if you want to be in the action then I recommend the lower level for you. Bathrooms are relatively clean. I've seen and experienced worse and theirs are way better than I ever expected. The age range tends to skew younger. Like early to mid 20s. A sprinkling of 30-40 year olds. Then maybe a few that are older. It's definitely frat/sorority vibes, at least in my experience but the kids have always been well behaved. There's lots of surrounding restaurants that you can get food and beverages from. Plus bars throughout. Drink prices are a bit higher than a regular bar but the quality and sizes are much better than at other popular venues so I don't complain. For 20 bucks I can get 32oz of Tank 7 at Johnnys. They have several cocktails, I like Besos crushers. I did see some individuals with buckets of booze from somewhere. Food wise there's a bit of everything-regular bar food, bbq, tacos, Irish food, pizza, and probably other things that I'm not recalling. The pizza by the slice is decent but I tend to gravitate once again to Johnnys because I can put in an order to go and grab it and go home after whatever event. Fun spot. The soccer watch party was a super fun time and I honestly enjoyed it more than the FIFA fan fest. The hosts are great. Definitely check out an event here sometime.

The bride to be was demanding karaoke but there was no places in the area. Hearing music she assumed she could sing here. When we walked in I was taken back by the vibe of this place. It was all types of people just singing, dancing and having fun. Having never been in a "piano bar" I was unfamiliar with what was going on and just posted up at a table and started ordering drinks. Once I got what was going on I was instantly addicted and frantically looking for a place like this near my home. The performers took song requests and rocked each one. These talented performers made the songs their own while playing the instruments and riffing with the crowd. My group (not my date or me) tried to get on stage, demand songs and even pick a fight with the bouncer but we were handled with grace and even comedy from the performers which is better than we deserved. All in all this place will be one I remember for a long time. I highly recommend checking it out.
