If you are looking for a rooftop with views....Vye has all of them!!! The iconic Western auto, the stunning Kauffman Performing Art Center, the the infamous Bartle Hall sky station sculptures and the illuminated downtown Skyline. It's a great spot to take them in whether it be daytime or night. The downstairs bar is quaint and cozy giving off a speakeasy vibe. read more

Rena was a great server attending to our drinks on the rooftop! We always have a great time with her as our server. She's attentive and makes amazing drinks. The ambiance is top tier with skyline views and comfy seating, up and down stairs. Ask for Rena when you come by! (If I was her boss I would give a review incentive) read more

Vye Cocktail Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Very cute , chill and relaxed cocktail lounge, came here with a group of friends to by some time. We had reservations at a near by and decided to grab come drinks while we waited. They have two sitting area options as well as the bar area. My friends and I decided to sit in one of the sitting areas and I'm glad we did. It was more of a cozy feel. The drink menu had plenty of options to choose from, I went with the lavender lemon drop. 10/10 I definitely recommend giving this place a try, I'll be back for sure. They also have private rooms available for an event. There was a private party going on while I was there. read more

I was quite satisfied with the drink menu & the view on the roof top. This place has some really good potential, but the ambiance was disappointing. The music was outdated, random, & didn't match the vibe of the bar. The lighting inside was too bright for this type of atmosphere. One bartender was amazing, the other was hanging out with his friends & smoking & not even at the bar most of the time, which felt very unprofessional for a place with $15 cocktails. read more

Rena is the best bartender!!! Must come visit! Impeccable drinks, vibes and views! Hugo spritz was my fav!!!

Here's the thing, sometimes places are getting their stuff together, sometimes they fumble? And sometimes they have amazing employees that pick up the fumble and absolutely knock it out of the park! This place has those employees! The bartenders are going to make you feel super at home, the drinks are perfect!! And the rooftop view is perfect! This absolutely has to be a stop for anybody visiting Kansas City! Becca and Joe keep killing it!! read more

Vye Cocktail Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I hadn't been here before, but saw great reviews! We stopped here after dinner at Farina and it was great! The bartender was fantastic and they are in the process of opening their rooftop bar. We took a peek and it was amazing overlooking downtown KC. The drinks were fantastic (they have Bumbu rum...best ever). We didn't have any food, but the service was really great and felt like a great local bar that will be a frequent stop for us. They even had some live music starting that sounded great. Can't wait to go back! read more

Lively cocktail lounge on a Saturday night with a DJ and bartenders who know what they are doing. Music genre was not my usual style but it was fun. Limited seating at the bar area unless you have reservations... if you are okay coming in early or standing around hoping a seat opens up... it's a chance. But if you are in a group- best consider a reservation. read more

Vye Cocktail Lounge - Great service with a chill Vibe! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Second time visiting Vye and again had a great experience. I had two expresso martinis that were perfect. Bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. We came for the roof top, but decided to stay seated in the cocktail area, which gives a dark academia vibe. read more

I planned an event there months ago. There was a change of management. Before the change in management I came in regularly. When spring came the service went down hill. The drinks were not made with the right ingredients. The crowd got very rough. I considered moving my event, but I had already put months of planning in. A recurring event Is decided would be a one time event. The rooftop was filthy, the bathroom as gross as any bad gas station. with no paper towels or waste basket. People used T P and just threw it on the ground. Although I had a written agreement the owner-- a man named Doug, decided he didn't like the terms of the agreement 5 days before. He just refused to honor it although I'd done plenty of advertising. I have no option except to go to small claims court, however it is unclear whether he can pay a settlement For I certainly will win. Other concerns: the elevator to the rooftop has a history of trapping guests, the building has no insurance at all. The Liquor License is not in current the name of a former employee. The owner " sold" the tables promised for my event. So, it's kind of dangerous, has a rough crowd now, the drinks and service are poor and it's very dirty. But wouldn't go there and I certainly would not attempt to do business there: read more

This week I checked out Vye Cocktail Lounge . If you are looking for a good cocktail with a great view this place is good spot. The interior was very nice and the service was really good . My only complaint is that when you visit the rooftop bar the menu is different. I was not able to order the any signature cocktails , only standard mixed drinks . Which the pricing is about the same for a regular margarita offered on the roof vs a signature drink down stairs . Just an fyi , this spot offers drinks only no small appetizers or snacks . read more

Vye has the Views! If you are looking for a spectacular view of some KC landmarks, you must check out the rooftop of Vye. Located at the edge of Crossroads on Main, near Union Station, Vye recently opened and is buzzing with energy. The general manager, bartenders, and staff are friendly and seem present and active in the business. The cocktails downstairs are notably different from what's served at the rooftop bar so, if you are looking for a fancier cocktail I would suggest ordering one at the bar on the first floor and taking it upstairs to soak up the scenery. Since it's outdoors, however, the more expensive "craft" cocktails will be served in plastic cups, which can be off-putting for a $15 beverage, but I understand the concern. I went with the Main Street 75, since gin based cocktails are my go-to for the hotter months, and I love a good French 75. This one was notably sweeter, maybe from the raspberry Chambord, but it was crisp and light, which made it a great drink to imbibe outside. I'm just used to mine having more of citrus kick instead of that sweetness. Also, it could have been that I'm used to it being made with a different type of gin other than Bombay, it seemed like they were out of the original botanical gin that was listed on the drink menu. But, it was still a well-balanced and well-made drink. However, next time, I'll probably take the recommendation of the sidecar. For the steep price of $15, I better be getting something special, and here it's for sure the views of the city skyline at night. Once you take the elevator upstairs, from the main bar, you can see the Kauffman Center, the Western Auto sign, and the lit up ferris wheel! It's truly breathtaking and a great Instagram photo opportunity. It was definitely lively for a Friday night (around 10pm) but it wasn't overly crowded or loud. You could sit comfortably and enjoy the fresh air, fabulous views, and friendly conversation. The volume of music was just right, and it wasn't overly aggressive, I liked the rhythmic Latin vibes. Now, just to be clear, there is a bar upstairs. However, it only serves basic mixed drinks, and I'm not sure about beer/wine. I don't think those are offered at all outside, but I could be wrong. Drink prices at this bar are undoubtedly lower than the downstairs bar. Also to note, the inside bar is open till 1:30 in relation to the outdoor bar and rooftop space that is only open till midnight. Another thing, I do not think any food is served at all, so, hopefully, in the future, we'll see some charcuterie or some basic appetizers or pop-ups with local businesses. read more

Vye Cocktail Lounge - Makers Mark on the rocks. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The food was amazing. Service at first was really slow. Took 20 minutes for service to greet us. But once we FINALLY placed our order, the food arrived. They just need to work on acknowledging guests have been seated. Even a "Hi I will be with you soon". They were not even busy. But cinnamon roll was worth it. Over medium eggs came out with undercooked, runny whites. read more

Cute venue and nice location with rooftop views. The drinks were between $12-$17 and pretty good. The service could've been better it took over 30min to get a drink on a Wednesday around happy hour and it was not busy. read more

Drinks were very good and the service was very nice but they had Fox News on so I won't be back.

I love the bar and the atmosphere. The Manager Steven gave 5 Star customer experience. I will be coming back.

Vye is probably the coolest bar in KC! The ambience is amazing and the staff are great! I would recommend 1000%. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped in here on a Sunday, what a great place. Vye is still a work in progress, but what they having going on right now is great. The staff was fun to visit with and the drinks were amazing. I feel like the vibe in the lounge is upscale without the upscale prices. Went to the roof top to take a look before they officially opened the bar for the day. They views are amazing and will be a great place to relax on a summer night. Can't wait to see the final product for Vye Cocktail Lounge. read more

Everything was from phenomenal from top to bottom. The drinks were a great price, the service was excellent, and best of all was able to meet the owners. I will definitely be back on my next trip to KC read more

This bar has the same view as other rooftop bars around it, they have live music and class. this bar has a Spotify playlist on old speakers that is playing old r&b. the people who are at the bar are not upper class, and the seating is limited. not impressed. read more
