Green Lady Lounge

This was on the top of my list of places to visit for my first time in Kansas City and it should also be yours. Very busy and you have to keep your eyes peeled for a seat, but once you're situated it's incredible. I am addicted to the Lamanai cocktail, holy crow. The charcuterie board LOOKED mediocre and the ladies eating it warned against it. If you can't find a seat, head next door to the Black Dolphin, same owners, menu, & vibes just WAY calmer which is nice when you have the spins from 4 tequila cocktails.

The Green Lady Lounge has a beautiful and sophisticated club atmosphere and excellent bartenders. Experience the upscale milieu and skillful jazz musicians with a perfectly crafted cocktail in hand. On a weekend evening many dress in thier glamorous best but casual is also acceptable. Off-street covered parking at Corrigan Station was convenient and reasonably priced.

Green Lady Lounge is a time travel locations! This is a place where you can feel like you are in the 1940s and enjoy the atmosphere, live music, and great drinks until 2:30 am! Besides beautiful and strong margaritas we ordered chips as a little snack. And this Pennsylvanian brand surprised us! Great chips!

Cool little spot with cool drinks, live jazz. $10 cover charge. Took a while to find a seat as the place was pretty packed! My drink was okay! Lots of selection, so you're sure to find something you like! Reasonable prices! Sticky floors and LOTS OF DIRTY GLASSES on the end of the bar. Hopefully, they have good automatic washers with appropriate temperatures to properly clean those. Dimly lit, nice spot/atmosphere. Live jazz was good. Music not too loud, so you could actually hear the person next to you or across the table. If I visit the area again, I'll go back! I really enjoyed it!!!

Drinks are very good and very reasonably priced, had a total of 7 cocktails split between 2 people for $107 including the tip! The atmosphere of bar was incredible and unique, would definitely go back again!!

An awesome jazz lounge with a great selection of drinks, phenomenal atmosphere that's super chill, and great jazz trio's. Get there early to grab a good seat. Try the RBC or the Green Lady Iced Tea.

I was blacked out at this point. Don't remember much. Band was really good, enjoyed the plushness of the bar on my knees haha

Green Lady was awesome! My partner and her mom and I all went while on vacation in the area. The cover was $10, and we got in early enough to sit at a table. The charcuterie tray was good, albeit pre-packaged, and the drinks were tasty and inexpensive. The vibes were excellent, and if you sit half way back or further, the volume is good. Service was excellent.

Excellent vibes. We were in KC for a conference and were looking for some good jazz. The drinks were a decent price, and the service was attentive.

Absolutely loved the place! This is my first time in a jazz bar or this city. My goodness, what a great first impression! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The drinks were great. They have a huge drink and cocktail selection. Dimly lit, with a nice atmosphere. Music not too loud, so you could actually hear the person next to you or across the table. Definitely, a place to check out if you're a music lover and in the area. You won't regret it!

Jazz lounges like this are a dying breed. They are culturally significant and it is important that they are preserved. Having said that, I believe the slightly above average menu/cover ($10) is justified. At peak, it's pretty slammed. Small hallway, just bring cash so you don't have a massive line coming out the ridiculously tiny exit/entrance. Late hours, eclectic patrons. Could use a few more tables probably. Cheesecake was good. Atmosphere was great. I went after working on the road so wasn't in a great mood. Might have been 5 stars had I taken a nap.

Always an absolute pleasure coming to the Green Lady Lounge. Sipped on a Negroni listening to the awesome three piece band last night. The vibes are immaculate (check out a pic of this painting) and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Can't wait for the next time!

Just beautiful. This place really captures the ambiance of what a speakeasy should be. Classy, dimly lit, swanky, great craft cocktails and wonderful music. I loved all the antique lighting and paintings that adorned the walls & ceilings. A must stop while visiting KC. If you enjoy jazz, you must try this place out!

This is the place for all lovers of a classic jazz club. Cocktails are on point and FOH staff are friendly and gracious, nice midwestern hospitality. Ready your eyes and enter and exit slowly because it is DARK in there!! Ear plugs are a good idea if you want to sit up front. Even though I caught the flinging door opening on my wrist while passing, I still have a great time there every time.

A date night go-to for me and my husband. The music, drjnks, and vibes are always good here!

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.

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!

This was a very cool place with an old jazz club, speakeasy vibe. There is a $5 cover charge when you walk in the door and with this, you get a stamp to go next door to use the bathroom, which trust me, you'll need because in this HUGE club there are only two toilets. The club is dark with a long bar and booths along the edges with small cocktail tables where you nestle into the alcoves while listening to live Jazz music. The entire vibe feels like you stepped out of time into another era. Despite it being Saturday night and the club being PACKED, we got quick and attentive service from the server. They offer a variety of hand-crafted cocktails and a few snacks. I can see this being great for an intimate date night or an outing for friends.

Great place. Dark, crowded, red. There is a lot of space so don't let the crowd fool you. Jazz was decent, but as a guitar player I find people easily impressed with doodling on a guitar. Drinks were solid. I order a side car to test a bar. It comes out perfect. Charcuterie board is perfect for the evening. Great place.

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

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!

Always a vibe- great music, great drinks. Try to check out the downstairs because the bar is usually less crowded and there's usually a band down there as well. We tried desserts as well and while they're nothing to rave about, they were pretty good.

How can you not enjoy and appreciate a lounge that is open all night! Very dark and quiet ambiance - such a beautiful space to enjoy great music, good drinks and relaxed vibes.

For whatever reason, a lot of people do not associate Kansas City with jazz music. But there are a lot of clubs in KC, and "The Green Lady Lounge" is one of them. You can ask any bartender in town to recommend a place to listen to live music, and this place is usually at the top of the list. When you approach the front door, you pay a $5 cover. You can choose the door in front of you, which leads to the basement level; or you can choose the door immediately to the right, which leads to the ground level club. This lounge has two levels; each level has its own stage, its own band and its own bar. Each level has a slightly different look and feel. This is a fun place to hang out with friends, imbibe a few beverages, and have fun.

Music was good, it's $10 per person at the door, as per their website. Very dark inside. Didn't really care for the drinks. The passion fruit martini I got to begin with tasted like vomit, I got an old fashion afterwards which wasn't anything to write home about. We came here for the music. Service was alright. 3.5 stars.

Hands down my favorite place to enjoy a drink and Kansas City Jazz with My Love Everything else in the world disappears and you're transported to the perfect Jazz world.

It's Friday night and I wanted to have a drink with some light entertainment. What better place then to come to green lady lounge? Low lighting, live music, and a drink that you won't have to wonder if it's worth the price you're paying. This is definitely not what you would expect when you drive past. All the rumors are true!!! If you want to thoroughly enjoy the company you are out with or just an evening to unwind by yourself this place is for you! The musicians are very passionate about their music and it truly is a treat! Still not why this place is called Green Lady Lounge, but somehow it fits because it definitely stands out.

Decent place to enjoy a "date-night" , listen to a little jazz music and have a few drinks.

Holy cow. How it took me my whole life to find this place is beyond me. Such an amazing gem in Kansas City. I came here with friends on a busy Saturday night in April and the place was packed. As you walk up it's pretty unassuming from the outside, the only indication you're at the right place is the slew of people walking in and out, and the small sign over the entrance. Walking in you'll be greeted by a bouncer and although it says different on Yelp, there is a cover these days - I think $10, but it's worth it, especially when you take into consideration the live music which is wonderful. Once you enter it's as if you're transported back in time to the golden age of KC jazz - it's dark with warm red and gold lights softly filling the corners of this intimate jazz bar. There isn't food that I could see but there were drinks. We enjoyed our beverages, but the star of the show is the ambiance. If you go, be sure to check out both floors. It's a great place to have a nightcap or finish up a date.

Green Lady Lounge is one of my favorite places to go in Kansas City. This is the best jazz bar in the KCMO area. They offer jazz every single day and have an awesome vibe. There is a $5 cover charge per person to get in. They have two giant rooms and on the weekends and at night you will find the bottom room to be housed with another jazz band. The drinks are always on point and are always great. It is open seating so if you have a large party I recommend getting there early if you want to sit together. Service has always been great when I have visited and a must go spot especially if you are a music and jazz lover.

Lala Land but the ending was way better!! ;) We enjoyed our romantic evening with the live band and delicious cocktails. My girl Jess started with the Juarez Mule and I the Manhattan. Needless to say Jess is always right so I switched to a Juarez Mule soon after. We ended with two espresso martinis - Jess was not happy that I finished hers while she was in the restroom. The drink slapped though. The ambiance was great for vibing out to jazz and for people watching. I recommend anyone come here on their next date night. Just make sure to get here early enough to get a seat as it is first come first served.

This place has a speakeasy vibe. Just stopped in for a glass of wine and the sound of Jazz. All of the above and more was supplied. They told me that the 10:30pm to closing show has a more energetic/blues/jazz vibe. Definitely going to return for the evening setting, next time I'm in Town.

Very cool jazz bar. This is an awesome place for a cocktail with some friends but not a place for quiet conversation :) in the best way possible. Didn't get a chance to try the food but the drinks were great. They also have a fun downstairs that isn't completely obvious. Will be back!

I love love loved this bar!! This was the one place that I wanted to visit while we were in town. There is a $10 cover but a super swanky intimate setting. There was a good amount of seating and they have two floors with different musicians playing. The music was great and the cocktails were sooo yummy! I ordered the Lady Loves Chai and my friend ordered the Pink Lady drink. The drinks were so well balanced and it was very easy to drink a couple quickly but be careful bc they are strong, you just can't taste it! The staff was so helpful and very welcoming. We ended up needing to talk to the staff about someone making us uncomfortable while we were there and the worker Elijah was extremely helpful and guided us out the back and made sure that we felt safe and okay to leave. This was one of my favorite jazz lounges I've been in and highly highly recommend stopping in for a nice way to end your evening!

This club is good vibes! Amazing band, excellent service, tasty drinks, and the ambiance is like no other. Just off Grand Ave with a single door and bouncer outside. You walk in and feels like time travel to a whole new era. $5 cover charge is so worth it. They have upstairs and downstairs. We ordered the peach ginger margarita and tiramisu. Highly recommend for an unforgettable jazz club experience!

Such a lovely place! Theres a $5 cover charge and two floors of seating. They have a band on each floor. Came here on a friday night around midnight so it was pretty busy but we were still able to find a table for 4. Everyone was so friendly and i love the dark moody atmosphere. Jazz was great too! Def recommend for a night out'

Pretty swanky jazz place...super cool ambience. Downstairs is a little more spacious than upstairs.

In town on a business trip and my boss recommended this truly wonderful jazz club. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the music sublime and the drinks delicious! The bartenders were attentive at the perfect time. The band the night we were there was so fabulous, I bought their CD! Highly recommend this top notch club!

In hindsight, I wish I had tried the Blue Dolphin next door instead. The next time I'm in Kansas City I'd rather go to Lonnie's Reno Club even if it costs more. I didn't like the smokiness with all the people in almost total darkness. I was looking for something more comfortable and sophisticated with a real music show. The top level had better music. The bottom level was more like elevator music. I was expecting better jazz. The drink I ordered was fine. Everyone seems to love Green Lady Lounge but it wasn't my vibe at all. The cover to get in is $5.

I came here based on a recommendation from the front desk at my hotel. It's relatively close to the light district, but I took a Uber to get there. The outside is deceiving as it appears tiny and a bit sketchy but upon entry it was awesome. It was a five dollar cover to get in and there were two bands playing in the building. I was surprised to get a table on a Friday night. The band that was playing was fantastic, I believe they were called the Organ Jazz Trio. I don't know when I'll be back in Kansas City, but this will definitely be a stop on future visits.

Fun date night experiencing KC jazz! Check out both levels with live bands and great drinks!

Nice place for a date and also for fun with friends. I liked it a lot the first time I visited

Wow this place did not disappoint! A super vibey classic jazz bar inside with live music nightly. No drink or food minimum but I think cover was $10 a piece, which I don't think is bad. Plenty of seats. Recommend for a date drinks spot. Our waitress was just okay, but we could go up to the bar to get our drinks fast, so no big deal. Cocktails were delicious. Will go back

This place came highly recommended by two separate Uber drivers. It's a dark, cool, vibe with live Jazz music. I wasn't impressed with the drinks however. Also very loud in there so don't recommend if you're on a first date or a group of people hoping to talk.

We were looking for a chill KC jazz club w/ good original music. GLL satisfied our need in every way. Great atmosphere & great jazz. Cocktails were spot on & so was the service. The club had a comfortable setting w/ unique lighting. Looking forward to another visit.

Really interesting place. KC gem. Any time I have to entertain someone from or of town, this one of the places I take them. Very cool vibes

Green lady lounge is always a VIBE! It's dark, classy, the decor/ambiance is absolutely perfect for date night! Sometimes difficult with more people if you sit close to the Jazz band as it can be loud/difficult to hear/talk with your group. Cocktails are decent, seem kind of expensive for the taste. My favorite is the Lady Loves Chai, perfect for a festive/winter drink. Other than date night, I always bring visiting guests from out of town here & people always love it! $5 cash or card cover charge at the door.

Bartenders need to practice drinks on their drink menu. Tried 4 of them and they the mix just was just not right. They sounded delicious! Delivery fail! And then they up the cover to $10 at the door!!! $20 cover for two on a Wednesday????

Green Lady Lounge provided an authentic taste of Kansas City's jazz history and culture. Nestled in the heart of KC, the lounge exuded a welcoming ambiance complemented by solid cocktails. The bouncer was friendly and added to the positive atmosphere, ensuring a pleasant entry. The bartenders, a team of attentive and amiable ladies, contributed to the overall enjoyable experience. Green Lady Lounge stands out as a great spot to immerse oneself in the vibrant jazz scene of Kansas City while sipping on well-crafted cocktails in a laid-back environment.

Super fun and cozy jazz bar. Almost non stop jazz, quiet, cool and comfortable ambience and great for relaxation and conversation. Drinks were made quickly and well. I don't usually get cocktails but theirs were good, we'll made and delicious! Done with alcohols I don't usually get but all quite good. Would definitely recommend for a cool and classy night. Keep in mind--if you come in during daylight hours, give yourself a minute to acclimate as it is super dark at first.

We came here on a Saturday night on the recommendation of Mayor Ronnie, who we met at the jazz museum earlier that day. To be clear, Ronnie is not the actual mayor of Kansas but the self-proclaimed social mayor of the city. So we trusted his recommendation and went to the Green Lady. The lounge is two floors, long and narrow, and super dark. It's everything you could possibly want in a jazz bar: I can't see anything as I drink my cocktail and listen to music. The band played until 3-ish and they eventually turned on the lights and kicked us out at 4am. I didn't want to leave. This is a great jazz bar.

The Green Lady Lounge is an absolute must if you are in KC. The drinks were fantastic and reasonably priced. I got the sonic bloom and it was so refreshing. It was busy when we went but we still got served quickly. The major factor that stood out to me was the amazing live jazz music. The music, the decor and the drinks make this place an essential stop for anyone looking for a unique cocktail bar.

Great place to meet up with a friend for a drink and listen to jazz music. Good selection of cocktail drinks. Service is always great.

Very cool speak easy. Live music on both floors. Both completely different vibes. It's dark, romantic, "swanky" all in one. Love love the decor!!

Stopped in for a drink and fell in love with this place. A must if you're in town. I'll be back fo sho.

Great cocktails and ambient/moody environment. Perfect for people who love jazz or are starting to. Cover charge for a Saturday night was only $5 (cash or credit). There was plenty of seating and if you get there early enough, you can snag a booth seat. The servers were friendly also!

My husband and I were in town for our anniversary. We loved the live jazz and ambiance so much we went twice. Each time I ordered Lady Loves Chai, my new favorite drink. Great date night spot. $10 cover charge. Get there early for a good spot.
