If you can come here when it's not crowded this is *the* bar to come to. The good: great ambience. Great drinks! Try a Moscow mule here as long as you love ginger. I'm a big fan of live music that is in the background rather than the foreground and the green lady's live jazz is just that. The meh: the prices. The bad: it can become standing room only but I deliberately came at odd hours to avoid this. Cover charge of you come after the live music begins playing.

The bar itself is well maintained. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is superb if you like jazz. They have live jazz bands playing original music on both the first floor and the basement at all times. This place is a wonderland for anyone looking to relax and sip a martini. I had the old fashioned myself but either way you are in for a treat at this lovely little lounge.

The staff was super friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The live music was also excellent. I cannot recommend coming here enough. The drinks are a fair price too, just be sure you're ready to pay the 5$ cover fee at the door.

A gem!!!! The whole experience is awesome. From the set up of the space, to the great music, to the knowledgeable bartenders. Every city needs a place like the Green Lady Lounge. Be ready to relax, sip on some alcoholic beverages, listen to top notch musicians and enjoy your time here.

It's easy to overlook this bar while walking down the street, but it was an amazing experience after walking in. After a $5 entrance fee and push of a cushioned door you're immediately faced with a live jazz band and large space of the bar or lounging area. I ordered the Lamanai which tasted sweet but not overwhelming. I really enjoyed this bar, live jazz, and their drinks.

This is about the coolest jazz club I have had the pleasure of visiting. Oozing atmosphere, old school club vibes, iconic, full of history, and of course top notch jazz - on two stages! - thank you Kansas City for keeping this treasure alive and thriving. Will be back for more jazz and fancy cocktails whenever I come to town.

This was a fun jazz club we went to on a Saturday night. It’s a $5 cover with an upstairs and downstairs so you have two different musician choices. When you first enter from outside the intense dark and red is tough for your eyes to adjust, you feel like you can’t see anything however within 5-10 minutes it feels bright and normal. Went with two adults over 60, they did struggle to see the menu and bill and had to use their phone lights. The stairs from are quite steep if mobility or an injury is an issue. So Downstairs for us was much quieter and you could sit further away to still talk. Quite a large age range present from barely 21 to people well into their 70s. Would be a fun date place (maybe not a first date, it’s a bit dark and loud). Had a good selection of whiskey. Wine was about $9 a glass.

A swanky dark lounge full of multiple jazz artists on any given night. Upstairs & downstairs options as well as their sister lounge next door. Music all the time! $5 cover. Eat before going as only drinks are offered.

I’m writing this super buzzed!!! It’s a whole vibe! I didn’t mind the $5 cover charge. Let me say love the eclectic decor! Had me feeling all Hollywood mafia like! Jazz bands a solid 7! But BAAAABY! y’all making sure folks don’t remember where they parked after they TRY to leave! My only grip is - where is the food to absorb these strong drinks? Meet me halfway at least!!! Definitely try the Mango Lady and the Black Dolphin! Trust me and thank me later!!!

Brought in some out-of-state friends who were visiting to wind down for the night with some swanky cocktails and jazz music. It was the perfect atmosphere and the perfect way to end our evening. I don’t visit this place nearly often enough but I am enamored each time.

Incredible live jazz in an intimate setting. The drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are really attentive. This place is a must visit in Kansas City.

We really like the atmosphere. It was a last minute decision to come here so I didn’t get to spend as much time as I had wanted. The only reason I’m not giving it a full five stars is because I wasn’t here long enough to really evaluate all the aspects of the service. They do not offer any entrées but I heard the hummus is good. I’ll definitely be coming back. We sat in the downstairs simply because we didn’t know where we were going. On the way out we did visit the upstairs. They both have their own vibes And I would go back to either. Do not be scared pictures LOL. It’s just the red lighting was accentuated by my camera.

First time at a jazz club. It was terrific! Beautiful on the inside, lively music, well crafted cocktails and mocktails. A few tips for first timers: #1 arrive early, we got there at 8:30pm and were good, to get a good seat (upstairs has more comfortable booths available than downstairs) #2 expect to go have someone in your party go to get your drinks (servers do come around, just not super frequently as it gets busier, to be expected) #3 no real food, however they offered a hummus/cracker plate that was a nice addition to our group of 4. Overall a romantic, fun experience. Would definitely come back and recommend!

Jazzy, Dark, Moody. We Loved It! Might just be the best jazz bar in KC! Got there around 8pm Saturday night and paid a cover of $5 each cash only. Amazing though a bit pricey cocktails, it was worth it to enjoy the jams for a few hours! I love jazz even more now.

Ambiance!!!! It was like stepping into a movie set of what you would imagine as a jazz club. Live music, low lighting, lots of seating, and good drinks. The band was great, drinks were delicious, and reasonably priced. Only had one thing to eat which was the boozy cake. It was a lil dry...but you could taste the booze so I guess it did it's job hahahaha. Def worth a visit ❤️

My wife and I love this place. It is a great place to socialize and catch up. The vibe is great and a lot of the bands and trios they have are enjoyable!

If you close your eyes and try to imagine what a jazz club should look and feel like, THIS IS IT!! Amazing ambience with no pretentiousness. Easy to navigate once your eyes adjust to the dark decor. Reasonable drinks and friendly staff. It’s a must see if you visit KC.

This lounge was incredible! There aren’t many jazz bars where I’m from so this was something out of my dreams! It has both an upstairs and downstairs with different bands playing so you can have two different vibes going. It was pretty busy when we showed up at 7 so be sure to get there early if you would like a seat! There is room to stand which is also nice. The atmosphere is amazing and I can’t wait to come back here.

Very trendy place for live jazz music. Good selection of hard drinks (mango lady is a delight). 2 floors to choose from, and it gets busy (so plan to stand for a while). Saw some sort of food options, but because there are no cooks there they probably just have bread and dip. Wish they had snacks and/or desserts to help down those drinks.

We've been to the Green Lady Lounge a few times, and it's always a cool, chill experience. We always receive perfect service. The only complaint I can think of is that they didn't have any Boulevard beers that I could see.

The service was good. The waitresses were attentive and came to check on us often. Also, I didn't like one of the drinks as the espresso taste was too much for me. The waitress offered cream to make it help. I loved that she knew the menu well enough to offer that solution and made other suggestions as well. The jazz music and vibe were pretty good, too.

The drinks are bomb, atmosphere is amazing and this is the first stop I take friends when they visit town. This place is a must go and I recommend the Dirty Kettle One Martini Up. This place feels like Frank Sinatra is going to be in the booth next to you. In addition make sure you don’t miss the basement if it is open. The basement has a great atmosphere and be sure to ask about the history of the place. Seating is limited so make sure to show up early.

Everyone was telling me I had to check this place out, and I'm glad they did! You're greeted by a bouncer in a suit, then you enter an upholstered door on the right hand side. The moment you walk in you'll notice the dim lighting with the lighting focused on the band.

I didn’t even know they offer food here but the drinks and live music are always on point. Supporting local talented musicians is a great way to spend the evening. Great spot for a date night or out with friends though not quiet if trying to converse. A good, lively time. No dance floor. Low mood lighting.

Always such a wonderful experience. Fantastic jazz, great drinks, good service, and the cheesecake is delicious. If you want to chill out, vibe to some great music, and sip on something, this is your place.

Came here two nights in a row while in town. Both times I have no bad things to say, cocktails were good the staff was attentive and very friendly. The bar has two areas a base level and the basement. Both have a very nice and well-appointed interior. I will note that when entering the place during the day, it takes a few minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dimly lit interior, but it fits in with the style of the lounge.

Great time every time. Excellent cocktails, music (live jazz combos), and atmosphere. Note that food is not served so great before or after dinner experience.

Cool jazz club with a room upstairs and a room downstairs. It gets really crowded so you might have to wait for a table or a seat. A nice selection of drinks as well.

Quite lowly lit..so be ready. Live Jazz (both levels) were good. We had French 75s

This could be a super cool dive, the place is dark and candle lit with good bartenders. It has live music, which is awesome. The band that was playing when I was there sucked, they did not look like they were having a good time. Probably an awesome place when the band is good though!
