If you want to step back in time, this is your place. The outside is completely nondescript and almost looks abandoned, but once you go inside, its glorious. Its dark and covered in red velvet, and its a true speakeasy feel. The drinks are awesome, and youre guaranteed to hear some great jazz.

The Green Lady Lounge, is another one of Kansas City‘s best kept secrets. This jazz club, located in the heart of downtown Kansas City is quite likely the best jazz club that I have ever attended. Featuring the rich history, sounds, sights and delicacies of a bygone era. This is simply a wonderful place to spend an evening, with friends, family, or on a date. If you enjoy the history of Kansas City, and all that jazz offers – you owe yourself a trip to this wonderful establishment. Just a heads up, you will need to plan ahead this establishment is always packed.

Such a throwback, great place to hideaway and transport back in time. Music could be better but I’m not complaining as the conversation is always excellent when I visit this spot.

My favorite jazz club in the city. Too bad the Corona virus has effected their business. They are still open as of this review 9/2/20, but there is no live music right now. However, their other bar, The Black Dolphin, next door is offering live music but theres a $5.00 cover charge now. Fair price for a good time

Great music, good drinks, chill atmosphere. If youre looking for a nice night out with a significant other or friends this is a great choice! They have live music 7 nights a week, great artists frequent this club.

Great music, drinks, and overall atmosphere. Went here for the first time last Summer, while visiting KC. They were pretty packed. We’d only had a couple drinks, and then stayed a few hours while drinking just water, but the servers were very attentive and never failed to keep our glasses full. Cannot praise the staff here enough.

Basically this visit rated a 4 due to just having that familiar ambience that I enjoy at Green Lady. No music on this visit was a little disappointing but great company tops live music. Green Lady is always an easy recommendation from me to anyone looking for a should visit destination in KC.

This place is a literal time machine. When you step through the threshold prepare to have your mind, eyes, and ears satisfied.

This is a great place to take a date, they have a wide variety of drinks and the bartenders know their stuff. I was a little disappointed on the beer selection, they only had a few options. Super limited. Mixed drinks were little and $$.

CLASSIC ! Feel like I have stepped into different a era and Love it !

Great ambience. Good vibes. Cool place all in all.

Visiting Green Lady Lounge for an evening makes you feel like youve been transported back in time to the great Jazz era. With low-light upstairs and downstairs venues, we had the option to choose between an instrumental Jazz trio or piano and vocals. Always a great place to sit down, be immersed in the music and enjoy a good cocktail.

Environment: cozy, darkCost: free to enterFood: only crackers and cheese type trays $10Parking: free but minimalMusic: JazzDrinks: Good and reasonableStar status: Cozy but very dark, nice place to hang after work.

Love this place, cant wait until the live music returns

This place is incredible, the love music and no cover are fantastic. Also there is a server there named Cameron (I think) (red curly hair) she is always smiling and super friendly. She never let me run out of water and I wanted to thank her for making sure that I was okay because my friend was intoxicated. Youre a very kind person, so I hope you read this, so thank you. I think you left because my water was full or your shift was over. Well thank you again!

This is a great place to come and listen to live Jazz music. No cover charge to get in! The decor is fun and relaxing. This would be a great place to take a date after dinner. They have several fun cocktails to try that are average price. Our server was fantastic. I wish I had gotten his name. I love that the give you a large container of water as soon as you sit down. If you like jazz and are over 21, you should check this place out. There was a wide age range of people when we were there. Well be back soon!

Visiting from Cali and definitely coming back to Green Lady the next time Im in town. The drinks were impeccable. Tried abstence for the first time but was a bit to strong. Bar tender was attentive and creative. The band last night was mesmerizing. I immediately fell in love with them the moment I walked in the door. Excited to return.

Great place! Awesome staff and music.

A must-do in KC! Great music and fabulous drinks. My favorite little Jazz bar in town. Some light snacks are available, but best before or after dinner elsewhere. Also check out the basement lounge (if open) and the Black Dolphin (next door)!

Outstanding Jazz Bar, very classy Rat Pack like vibe, great drinks, beautiful clientele. Great Jazz, truly a destination spot.Cant miss.

Had a really good cocktail here and a pleasant chat with the bartender!

This is definitely a good place to go for your lounge and jazz fix alongside a wonderful place to converse and enjoy the fun and relaxing atmosphere! Highly recommend it!

A lot of fun. Great place to go and listen to music with friends. I was amazed by just how many bottles of liquor they had behind the bar. Drinks were great! Really enjoyed the feeling of their dark velvet interior and low lighting. Good times......

No kidding, that pumpkin martini I had there was by far the best martini I ever had in my life. I thought I was in the movie of Great Gatsby the moment I walked in. Definitely a landmark that one ought to check out when visiting Kansas city!

Great vibe, reasonable drink prices. Most of all the entertainment is often lively and engaging.

I didnt stay long however it seem like a nice place. Live band it has a old fashion vibe. You should probably go early they dont have a lot of seating. I think the club next door has more seating and is owned by the same person. So it may have the same type of jazz vibe.

My Sweetheart and I went for his 21st birthday, and we are both massive jazz nerds, so the combination between amazing!!!! live jazz music, beautiful venue and decor, as well as really well priced drinks made for a lovely evening. I will definitely be going back at least once a week, if not more.

Friendly atmosphere. Can be a little intimidating if you havent gone before but once you are there everyone is helpful. Its packed for sure, but camp out and you can find a place. Music was spectacular and a really good volume to still have a convo without screaming but loud enough to hold your focus

Nice atmosphere, great lighting, and awesome drinks!

Green lady lounge is the ideal, old-school jazz bar you’ve been looking for. This Kansas City classic is the ideal place to catch up with old friends over holiday break. Come here to listen to fantastic live music and sip on a spicy Moscow mule. See you soon at this quintessential bar with a speakeasy feel. The vintage vibe may not be for everyone, but we love it!

This is a must see if you are in the KC area. I love the ambience, the music is fantastic, and the drinks are good. If you can snag a booth youll really be in comfort, but the chairs are not uncomfortable. Make sure to check the website for music hours. We keep forgetting to go downstairs to listen before the music is over.

Went on a Sunday night. The power on the whole block went out as we arrived. But it was up and running in a few minutes. The bartender and sever were professional and attentive during and after the outage. The band quickly reset and and started playing as soon as the power came back on. Great place, solid staff and very plush seating. Definitely worth a stop if you are in town.

This place is beautiful with its ambience and drinks and the music. There is not a variety of foods available but good to take your Special ones out for a date type of place .

I love coming here any day of the week. The atmosphere is sexy, sophisticated, and makes you feel like you’re in an old jazz club where the walls are velvet and the mood feels more like the 20s/40s than 2019. I would highly suggest going and bringing friends - it can be crowded - so if you see a chair. Grab it while you can. There is a basement and a main floor both are equally as charming but personally I love the basement.

This is a ture jazz club. The atmosphere is so intimate and romantic. The music was bomb and they provide live music both upstairs and downstairs. It gives off nothing but good vibes, good music, and offers good drinks.

Every time Ive come here the music and atmosphere has been perfect. The cocktails are inspired and delicious. If you need a fun spot for live music and cocktails, look no further.

Great vibe. Cool jazz with hot licks. My date did say the mules were a little weak, other than that great scene to appreciate the music.

At the end of the night I really like a good sweet vermouth with a tiny splash of orange juice and it sounded like the easiest order ever to the staff. Proper service industry crew.

Relaxing atmosphere, the musicians did a great job. We got there early, only the bartender was there, by the time we left the waitress staff and another bartender had arrived. There is no food served here. There pictures are a little misleading, its darker than it appears. Overall, very pleased, its definitely not a whole in the wall dive. I think there should be some kind of food at any establishment that serves alcohol, its the only reason for 4 stars.

Great decor and drinks. The ambience is pretty cool. My main concern is that the last few times Ive gone there theyve had no diversity in the musicians on stage. Id think it was a coincidence, but a friend has noticed the same thing. I think they could do a better job of representing the city and its jazz legacy.

Perfect date venue. Its low lighting (and I look SO much better when its darker), the band was great, told the bartender I wanted a fruity vodka drink and he made me something melon, which most bartenders go straight for strawberry and I hate the seeds. The only thing was the womens room was hard to find because its in a word place, but what can you really do about that? Had a great time.

Best lounge to hangout on a Friday and Saturday nights. Good music, good drinks and amazing music.

Very cool dim lighted jazz club with two floors. We had an excellent time with our party of seven. Intimately tables and chairs fill the long rooms with the bands on one end by the door and the bars off to the side. Stairs connect the two floors in the back. We enjoyed themed cocktails and draft beer.

You must check this place out. Local Jazz artist only, great cocktails, with a nod to the bootlegging, speakeasy era of KC.If youre here, check it out.

I brought a friend in from out of town we wanted some jazz so we went to green lady lounge. Tú e music was amazing, however we could not get any service whatsoever from a waitress, waiter or bartender. If all you want is jazz this is your place. If you want a drink I would not recommend

Went here on a Saturday night and it was a good experience. Listened to dealership jazz ensembles and they all were pretty good. Didnt like the seating and it was hard to find a table. There are two levels with love music on each level.

Nice and Dark jazz lounge. Drinks were good and both bands were great, especially considering it was a Thursday. You can dress up and go listen to some great KC music.

Loved that they were open super late on a Sunday. Atmosphere was great, very chill. Live music wasn’t ridiculously loud. Only complaint was the soda I order was from a “gun” and it tasted awful.

Terrific jazz club/venue. Average food and drinks. Outstanding music and ambiance.

A beautiful setup with a timeless theme. Amazing performances with a good choice of drinks and snacks. No meals served as it would not just be doing justice to the place.

Green Lady lounge is an old school throw back. 1920s vibe. Lots of old white people that look wealthy. The ambiance is warm, with muted lighting and an inviting atmosphere. When Its really busy on the weekends its too busy, too loud. Need to come up with a solution to the bathroom problem. Jazz is really, really good. Only things is that I have been five times and everytime its white people playing jazz. Whats up with that?? Drinks are fast and well priced. Bartenders are very social.

This was an interesting experience...Pros:The music was fabulousIt was an intimate settingThe staff was extremely friendlyThe low lighting means you can skimp on the makeup or wear your comfy clothesWe loved the speak-easy feel of the placeCons:The lighting was waaayyy low. I had a hard time being confident walking around the establishment. Plus there was a couple that seemed to be emboldened by the low lighting in the booth next to us. If thats the kind of establishment theyre trying to run, then Im only upset that I wasnt aware of it to take advantage.Our drinks were less than ideal. We tried both a signature cocktail and a basic rum and Coke, and neither were enjoyable. I dont know if we just had a very heavy handed bartender or if our palettes arent hipster enough for this bar, but we couldnt finish either drink.All in all, we might go back again. Probably only for the music and the friendly staff, though.

If you are into good music and people watching well this is the place for you! Came here for New Years and was extremely pleased with the music, the ambiance, the lighting and overall feel of the place. The waitstaff was super busy so not very attentive but overall a great night and experience!!

The first time walking in there was like going back in time for a bit (never been to a lounge before, let alone a JAZZ lounge!). The place was packed but my sister and I managed to get our cocktails and find a seat immediately after to sit back and enjoy the dark red cellar styled room which by itself made everything awesome! I went to take a sip of the prickly pear cocktail I had but smelled it first and instantly knew I was in for a treat best cocktail ever hands down as I watched the talented musicians play some of the most beautiful jazz music Ive ever heard! And 5xs

I really like the ambiance of place. I enjoy black cherry/cherry vodka with Sprite and 2 lime wedges. The jazz is nice with the low lighting. Will return with my friends again. I wish there were food options.

I loved the Kansas city coffee it was amazing! The jazz was great. The service was also also wonderful even though they were extremely busy.

Visited this place on a Thursday night. I was kind of confused upon entering but the main floor was closed when we got there. If you wander back, you’ll find some stairs leading down. Here you will enter a red velvet covered room. The bartender was awesome and looked like a personal butler in his black suit. Very low lit with a jazz singer in the back. Good place to go for intimate setting or to listen to some jazz. The liquor selection is exceptional as well.

I love this place! Really enjoy the music and the drinks. The vibe is really old time jazz bar. It can get crowded later in the night though if you get there before 9pm you should have no problem. Not a place you would notice at first glance off the road. It’s important to note that there are two levels. A great place to take out of town guests.

Hands down the best jazz bar ever!!! We went last Sunday and had a great time. I didn’t catch the band’s name but I think both of their names were Max, they perform every Sunday and Monday night till the end of December. Me and my friend absolutely enjoyed their music and the atmosphere, more importantly the keyboard Max came down and greeted us - he made our night special and we felt very welcomed! It’s such a romantic place for a date or a friends night out, will definitely be going back next time I’m in kc!

Celebrated my 21st B-Day here. The staff was great and the atmosphere was perfect. One of the finest gems of KC

This place has so much soul! When you walk in, you feel like you stepped back in time. Service was amazing. Drinks are priced great. Band that was playing that night was on point.

Great place. Lots of drink options and always amazing music. Not much food so either eat before you come or dont come hungry.

Who dosent love the Green Lady Lounge? Best place for jazz and absinthe in KC. Absolutely love the pre-war Paris decor.

Such an awesome time! Rachel was so personable and a wonderful server. Hope to have her again and will definitely be coming back.

Great band playing and staff were all very helpful.

We came in early, before the music started. We had some time to chat with the bartender and a few of the patrons before the music started. Had great drinks, friendly conversation and when the band started, great music. Highly recommend stopping by.

Top 5 chill place in Kansas City.

Love this place! Outstanding bartenders, staff, and cocktails. Always top-notch live music. One of my favorite KC spots.

Atmosphere is great! Live music is great! The drinks can be questionable on some... old fashioned... others are great!

Had such a great experience here, the musicians music and setting were top knotch. Would be a regular if I werent visiting from out of town. Will absolutely be back.

Amazing jazz music. Great atmosphere. I will definitely be coming here again next time I visit Kansas.

Loved the jazz.. romantic atmosphere... the drinks were awesome too..

Great speak easy style bar with soft Jazz and good drinks. The Old Fashioned was a bit too sweet, but the martinis were solid. The ambiance of the place is such you are waiting for Sinatra to walk out flanked by the Rat Pack. I suggest everyone take a trip downtown for this one.

This is one of the best jazz hotspots in the modwest. I would absolutely get give stars if not for a total of only two womens stalls. One up one down. The crowds are far two large for so few.

Only the main level was open. There was a jazz trio playing that was phenomenal! The atmosphere on a weekday night was relaxed with many booths filled with some old timers, added the the effect. It was dark with red booths and a nice bar and selection. There was attentive table service. We relaxed with some family and enjoyed some music and a few drinks.

Went here Nov 8th for my first time and loved it. Great atmosphere, fantastic music, excellent beer and spirits selection. Place was packed. I will definitely go back. My only complaint is of the lack of food. After being here for a few hours, we started to get hungry, and while they do have a little bit of food, it could be expanded upon just slightly. A few more options would have been nice. Other then that, this to me is a proper KC nightlife destination.

Love this place! It is so unassuming from the outside and then you walk in and it is like going back to the 1920s. Good drinks and awesome jazz

A great find in the crossroads of Kansas City. Reasonably priced drinks, its open late, a diverse crowd (for KC) and all-round great vibes make this a good late night drinking spot. Not aware of the food but the Moscow mules were great. brilliant live jazz all night.

I enjoyed the music and the food. Really good band. If Im ever in the area again Id definitely revisit.

Very very cool place, but HEY MANAGER, TURN THE LIGHTS UP A LITTLE BIT!! You cant even see whether the person at the next table is cute.

This place is almost too awesome for the likes of me. Its swanky and calm. When I went, there was a live jazz band. The service was top-notch.

Who knew that a cool swanky place could exists right here near Downtown KC?! Where have I been?!I am so late, this is definitely a change of scenery from Power & Light and Westport. Even though outside of the venue isnt that much to look at, but once you step inside, its a whole another level.Theres two floors at this place. Dim lighting with red decor and a band playing each floor. Live bands are always a plus and you can definitely appreciate some good music and cool drinks to enjoy the ambiance.Drink prices is more than your average bar, but the music and vibe is very worth it.Definitely enjoy this place for the first time and will likely to return.

I make sure to stop here whenever I visit KC! Bonus, they were open on New Years Day! Always excellent music and drinks, beautiful atmosphere.

Green Lady is beautiful! There was a nice cried in particularly for a Monday night! Service was great early in the evening, less so closer to closing. Seemed like some of the staff disappeared. Drinks were good. For a jazz lounge, the music could have been better. The same set was repeated multiple times, sort of seemed like an afterthought. All in all, a mostly positive visit!

Very Smooth Place to relax... a little too DARK inside... But Nice atmosphere.

Great music and drinks. Arrived early enough to get a photo shoot in. Thank you for your kindness ️ pomegranate Martini and the pink lady are great drink choices.

Great little jazz club with live music every night... great cocktails and custom drinks.. two levels with a stage on each

I was disappointed to discover there is absolutely no green decor in this speak easy spot. But the music was phenomenal! The place was packed out on a Thursday night which was unexpected but still fun. Staff is attentive and the drinks are decent.

This place is GORGEOUS. As soon as I walked in I felt completely transported back in time. The lights are low but still somehow manage to create a glowing and shimmering atmosphere. The live music is unbeatable, the drinks are awesome, and even their charcuterie is yummy! I know on certain days there is another portion that opens up. There is a whole downstairs with additional seating, a smaller bar, and a whole other band playing. Ive only been once, but when tourists ask me where they can go to listen to live jazz music, I always recommend either the Green Lady or the Blue Room. Ive been dying to go back soon!

Nice atmosphere and good drinks

Wonderful place to spend an evening. Delicious and varied drink menu, great vibe. Always excellent live music playing. Helpful and friendly bartenders even at peak hours.

Really nice lounge bar. I went there for a drink on a weekday night and I must say, from the outside, the place does not look so cool. However, once inside, I really enjoyed the ambiance. If you are interested in live music I strongly suggest to go visit the place.

Go there. Listen to some radical smooth jazz and grab a fabulous cocktail. I recommend the cinnamon dulce martini. Service is quick and servers are attentive despite how dark this speak easy is. Ive never had a bad experience at the green lady lounge. Im a frequent customer.

What a great spot. Cocktails galore. Might feel like youve been transported back to the times of abolition and hidden jazz venues. Very unique and cool jazz experience.

Classy jazz joint. Acoustics are appropriate to feel full and vibrant, but allows you to converse with your table-mates. House cocktails are delightful, Kansas City Coffee was my favorite (youve got to really like rye whiskey to enjoy it, be warned).Dont forget to tip the band, either on the check or with cash in the hat.

Throwback. Great Live Jazz. Huge selection of liquor. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff:All rolled into a very laid back spot!

Never knew behind this little door was such a unique and intriguing little joint! Two floors with amazing jazz entertainers, great cocktails, cool atmosphere. Will definitely visit again

What a unique place!Atmosphere has low lit red lighting. There was an up stairs and a downstairs with lots of places to sit. Although we barely could find a place to sit, but considering it was really late we understood. We stopped in after a concert over at the nearby Crossroads.We were told that they did not serve food here just drinks, cheese, and crackers I believe. We didnt ask the staff just somebody we were sitting by next to. So I cant confirm that for sure.Would like to make this the start to our night sometime. The live music was great! Cant wait to go back!!

What a great place to see live jazz and enjoy a cocktail or two! This venue is huge, and the staff is very cool. Its basically two big, long rooms, one of which is downstairs, and the no-cover acts are really impressive. They keep music going and continue serving late on the weekends, which seems to make it a big draw for a much younger crowd, who is mostly respectful. Bands on the first floor, perform with the crowd seated all around, as well as behind them, lending a unique feature to the space. While this isnt a place to watch jazz in observant silence, its a very fun atmosphere with both tons of seating and room to dance on the carpet. If this place had wood floors, it would be flawless.

Went there after dinner on a Friday night around nine and headed down to the downstairs bar. We found a table with no problem but it is definitely cozy. Given the crowd the waitress did a great job. Jazz was also great. A bit dark but that was good with the music. We will return
