The ambiance inside The Green Lady Lounge is almost magical while showcasing local musicians and vocalists who exemplify Kansas City's jazz tradition. With a vintage tin ceiling, this dark and narrow retro lounge feels cozy and welcoming. Friendly bartenders? Check. Reasonably priced classic cocktails, such as a whiskey Old Fashioned, or Campari and sweet vermouth? Check. There's a big beer menu and a small wine menu available, too, though the focus is clearly on handcrafted drinks and great music. You won't find a big food menu here, but available appetizers may include cheese or hummus platters. There's never a cover charge at The Green Lady Lounge and there isn't a single television in sight, to detract from performances. For devoted music lovers, it doesn't get much better than this.
