What makes it fun

This is a fun little jazz bar in Kansas City. Talia and her boyfriends were so good! The $6 happy hour cocktails and wine were great and the spin dip and chips were really tasty. Dinner special was fish and chips, it was just ok. We had a great time!

The Phoenix didn’t disappoint! Local artist Nikki White who appears most Thursdays is a treat and provides great entertainment. Highly recommend.

We came here for a jazz brunch with some of our friends who live in Kansas City, and it did not disappoint. The food and music were both awesome. It's a small space for a jazz band, so it was super loud, but we loved it. A very fun Kansas City experience!

Came here for Saturday brunch 10am-2pm and listened to Alex Abramovitz and His
Swing'n Kansas City Jazz Band. Amazing band which took request from a birthday Party and performed to perfection. My server Abby made a stiff awesome old fashion. Must come if you visit Kansas City! Support the infrastructure which at least pay musicians to perform live! Came back and enjoyed another round of hospitality, live music and drinks by lovely bartender Miranda. Easy transportation by free Kansas City Street car, stop at North Loop, then walk cross parking lots.
