My husband and I actually drove past this place at first--I was expecting green signage, not red, so it didn't immediately catch my eye. Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch. Once inside, it's very dark with deep red lighting--almost like stepping into a cave. It took a moment for our eyes to adjust, but once they did, we immediately felt at ease. The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere. read more

Where in the US can you go to experience amazing live taken for only $10z the Green Lady Lounge is where you go! Clean, smoke free lively jazz music and plenty of seating. There's two levels of entertainment. The service was friendly. Only thing is that they don't have food so eat beforehand. There was a hummus plate and some desserts. We had soooo much fun. Such talented musicians. This was a must visiting from LA! read more

Date night - Stop #1 Trying something new! Jazz Bar The Green Lady Lounge is an exclusively Jazz lounge featuring Kansas City Jazz musicians A little hole-in-the-wall with a cool, throwback vibe. Think speakeasy! The jazz bands were great--lively but not too loud--and we'll definitely be back. It's a perfect spot to hang out before or after dinner since they don't serve food. Even with a full house, our server checked in on us often. This two-level jazz club near downtown Kansas City was a fun find for us. We did not make it to the downstairs bar. We will save that for next time! The signage can be a little tricky to spot if you're not familiar with the area. Hummus & crackers for a snack My drinks: Mocktail - ORANGE-CRANBERRY MARTINI - Orange juice, cranberry juice, lime juice, simple syrup, grenadine, orange bitters, orange peel then I had the ETHAN ORANGE - Cold brew coffee, cinnamon simple, cream or oat milk, black walnut bitters, orange peel. Jons drinks: MANHATTAN - Rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, angostura bitters, cherry then he had a KANSAS CITY COFFEE - Rye whiskey, whiskey cream, cold brew coffee, simple syrup Total bill was only $70 We will be back! 1809 Grand Blvd, Kansas City, MO. #datenight #makingmemories #nightout #supportlocal #jazzmusic read more

Another amazing night at Green Lady Lounge! Had to bring my husband for late night live Jazz. He came reluctantly but once we found a seat by the band he was hooked. Great drinks...servers kept up well with the controlled chaos. Love the vibe! read more

Such a great bar! I always seem to find my way to the Green Lady Lounge and I never seem to regret it. The cocktails are spot on and the atmosphere is even better. I had never been to a jazz bar, but this spot makes me want to try more. The hours of this place make it even more appealing. Just when every other place is closing, the Green Lady Lounge is just getting busy!!! I love starting and ending my night here. Whether I'm with friends or a date, I can always find an occasion to stop by the Green Lady Lounge. read more

Green Lady Lounge was easily one of the highlights of our Kansas City trip. The vibe is unreal, dimly lit, classy, and exactly what you want from a true jazz lounge. Live jazz playing the whole time, insanely talented musicians, and an atmosphere that just pulls you in the second you walk through the door. My girlfriend absolutely loved this place, which honestly made it even better. It felt intimate but lively, relaxed but still special. Great cocktails, great energy, and no pressure, just good music and a cool crowd enjoying it together. If you're in KC and want something different from the typical bar scene, this is a must. Perfect for a date night or just soaking in some real jazz. We'd go back in a heartbeat. Service was great despite how busy it was. read more

Good music, great drinks, and the staff is always quite friendly. It's a bit too packed for my taste on Friday and Saturday nights, so we opt for weekday evenings. read more

A gem in the Crossroads Art District! There was a cover charge because a live band was playing, but it was reasonable and the band was fantastic. The curated vibes and the carefully crafted cocktails were a winner, and our waitress was down to earth and relatable. She was able to provide us with some really good recommendations. As a non-drinker, I value bars that put together mocktails with intention. This is one of those places! The mocktails were just as good as the cocktails according to my boyfriend lol. I'd love to return! read more

Don't take pics with the flash on. lol Bathrooms could use more stalls - one stall isn't it for this place. Drinks - strong and they do come at you! So be careful! For how busy they were - the drinks came out quick! If you like live jazz music, this is it! It was cute & lively. If you want to hang out upstairs or downstairs, pick your poison. A place for girls night or a double date (which we did)! read more

Good spot for live music! The atmosphere is semi-relaxed and feels like a hidden gem in the city. The musicians were good and you could tell they truly love what they do. Drinks were solid, service was always around considering how busy it was when I went, and there wasn't a bad seat in the place. I would just make sure to get there early if having a place to sit it a priority to you. read more

Looking for someplace to hear jazz.., well this lounge has two levels but choose wisely as the more people who seem to attend the nosier it gets therefore you are not able to really enjoy any band playing. I had two different drinks: mango lady which came with more ice than the drink in a normal cocktail glass. The second drink an espresso martini was perfect! We were even given a second chocolate martini comp read more

It does not get cooler than this place. It's a step back in time and makes you feel like you're in the show "Mad Men." The ambiance is unparalleled and the music is wonderful. It's a nice place to just unplug and forget about the outside world. read more

What a cute place! We came here in the middle of the week and were able to enter right away. ($10 cover!) It is VERY dark inside but once your eyes adjust, you'll see a room stretching far back. Right as you enter is where the artists were performing. The music was quite loud here but did get quieter further into the place. There's some couch type seating there. In the middle, one wall has the bar and the other side has booth style tables and tables against the wall with chairs. We were able to find a table for 2 pretty easily. Overall the vibes were awesome. The music was great and I had a good time there. It seems the musicians play for 45 minutes, then take a 15 minutes break. The reason for the 4 stars is because the drinks were very subpar. They're all in the low teens price range but was pretty disappointed since the place was very nice. The old fashioned we ordered was basically watered down whiskey with a lemon peel inside, tolerable at best. The other drink we ordered was way too sweet. Perhaps the other drinks are better. I would still be interested in checking out the place again! I think if you frame the place as a jazz venue that serves okay drinks instead of a nice cocktail bar that has jazz music, then it's a good experience. read more

Legitimately some of the worst cocktails I've ever had anywhere. Neckbeard bar staff is curt, rude and inflexible with extremely reasonable drink requests. Excuse me for assuming you could make anything besides a standard old fashioned, despite having a damn near wall-to-wall selection of liquor and ingredients. The old fashioned was terrible, the service sucked, the ambiance was nice. The doorman dresses like a cosplayer which immediately cheapens the vibe. Inside, the vibe is fantastic and the music was great. read more

If you looking for a nice jazz place with great cocktails, then look no further than the Green Lady lounge. Highly recommended trying the pink lady cocktail. There is $10 cover. I prefer sitting on the main level but there is also a downstairs too. Usually when it gets super busy, they have you go downstairs. The music and doors open/starts at 5pm. read more

Wow, I didn't realize I haven't left a review. This place is great. I've been coming here for the past three years on and off first off. There's easy parking either on the street or in the little area between the green lady and the black dolphin. The Door person has always been respectful. Inside of such chill environment lots of booths small tables usually able to find a seat except for sometimes on a Friday or Saturday night between 10pm and 1am can be pretty busy. It's cool jazz low-key atmosphere fun place. They have a small bar menu, and I think I had the hummus dish one time which was good. read more

On an impromptu whim, my husband and I had a night out. It's rare, and our visit to Green Lady Lounge made it an amazing evening. The bar is beautiful, has just enough lighting to see while being romantic at the same time, and there was enough wait staff to ensure we were always covered with tasty cocktails. My husband drank an Old Fashioned with Basil Hayden bourbon...one of many choices. I tried a few different drinks, and all were tasty. The music was great, and the band wasn't so loud we couldn't talk. Everything was perfect, and we already plan to go back soon! If I had to mention a small down side, everything is duct taped...from the seats to the walls in the ladies room. It may need a slight update. read more

They do not serve real food, they just dont have facilities to cook, but they have desserts and those are boozy. It has great closeness and feels great to sit. It is alittle dark though, okay alot dark. So be prepared for that, dont bust your ass. The line for the restroom gets long so plan for that too. The band is amazing, and the drinks come hard and fast. I plan on going again! read more

Every visit here feels special. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere pulls you in -- smooth jazz, warm lighting, and a feeling of connection that's hard to find anywhere else. The staff are always welcoming and attentive, creating a space where you can really relax and be yourself. The music sets the perfect tone -- talented performers who make you forget about everything else for a while. The drinks are well crafted, and there's clearly care put into every detail. It's the kind of place that reminds you why live music matters -- it's not just entertainment, it's an experience. I'll definitely keep coming back and recommending it to anyone who wants a cozy, genuine night out in the city. read more

I vote this as the best bar in Kansas City for the live jazz music, dimly lit atmosphere, and decent drinks. Every time I explore a new city, I look for "speakeasies" which is how I found Green Lady Lounge. I don't love how there is a $10 cover charge, but I get it. They run two bands at the same time, so the musicians need to make money somehow. Maybe none of the cover even goes to the bands, but I'd say this price is fair since I had a great time on my first visit. I'd 100% come back if I'm ever in Kansas City again. If you like a chill bar to relax with a nice cocktail while listening to some jazz standards, here's your spot. read more

We stopped into Green Lady Lounge early on a Thursday evening, and we loved it! It wasn't too busy yet, but it was still a fun atmosphere. The band sounded wonderful. The space is very moody, dark, and the decor is great. The drinks were good, too. I highly recommend visiting if you're considering it! read more

I have heard about Green Lady Lounge for a few years but have never made it there. I'm SO HAPPY I finally went. The $10 cover is well worth it, and honestly likely keeps the "riffraff" out. This place is swanky so we expected crazy drink priced but that was not the case. Drink prices were reasonable and the music was awesome, especially upstairs. Thankfully we were able to get a table for two but getting there earlier for a large group seems like a good idea. 10/10 for this run evening at Green Lady! read more

Green Lady Lounge - This place is just cool. This is downstairs. - Lounges Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I'm from St. Louis, but every time I visit Kansas City, I try to make it to Green Lady! This place is such a gem. I'm not even an avid jazz music fan, but the vibes here are truly something special. There's a $5 cover per person when they check your ID at the entrance, and they accept cash or card to keep things easy. After you pay the cover, there are two doors, one of which takes you downstairs and the other that leads to the main floor. I like that the downstairs and main level have two totally different ambiances. Both floors have different musicians performing at the same time, so there's always music to enjoy no matter where you choose to settle down! Tables and booths are first come first serve, so if you have more than two people in your group, you'll need to keep your eyes extra peeled for an open spot. I've found that it's much easier to grab an open table for two than for multiple people. They do not accept reservations. The servers are usually pretty attentive, but sometimes you're better off just placing your order at the bar. I absolutely love the Pink Lady cocktail. It's very light and refreshing! The drinks are always worth it. Green Lady Lounge is perfect for a date night or girls' night. Obsessed with this place! read more

Terrible service, terrible vibe, terrible people. If you want a gross charcuterie board have fun with that

Our second visit here was as good as the first! So worth the $5 cover charge Be prepared that when you walk in, it is dark. After a few mins your eyes will adjust and all will be revealed. They have a full bar, so they can mix anything, but the drink list is only a page or so long. We have tried several different offering from the menu and enjoyed the all. A charcuterie board goes well as you listen to the music and enjoy the drinks. We have only been on Saturday afternoon and the music volume is low, allowing pleasant conversation. I was told it gets louder as the night progresses. Afternoon drinking with great music is a pretty good way to spend the afternoon read more

This place is awesome! I was in Kansas City for work and decided to stop by, after a few people recommended it. I love that they have live music every night. I came in on a Wednesday night around dinner and it was pretty empty, so I almost felt like I had my own little concert to myself. I'm sure it gets busier and more lively on the weekends, which would have been fun to see. The cover was only $5, what a deal! I didn't get anything from the bar, but it looked like they had tons of drinks available. The decor, especially the lighting, was particularly awesome. I'd recommend for anyone visiting the downtown area! read more
