Green Lady Lounge

If you are looking for KC jazz...look no further than Green Lady Lounge. With a Speakeasy vibe, the street appearance is a simple window with an awning but when you step inside you are transported to a different age. The walls are painted velvet red and covered with vintage oil paintings. A variety of mid century hanging lamps light the bar … just barely. A TV would be very out of place in this elegant, yet casual environment. Entering the Green Lady Lounge is like stepping back in time into a real cocktail lounge, a retro cocktail lounge if you like. The staff is dressed up in suits and ties and cocktail dresses. A hammond B‑3 organ and a drum set take up residence on the main floor stage. Having the instruments always in place allows the bands to do their shows with a minimum of disruption to themselves and the patrons.


Easily accessible from the Kansas City Street car.
