My husband and I actually drove past this place at first--I was expecting green signage, not red,…read moreso it didn't immediately catch my eye. Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch. Once inside, it's very dark with deep red lighting--almost like stepping into a cave. It took a moment for our eyes to adjust, but once they did, we immediately felt at ease. The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere.

Amazing Zero-Proof Cocktails + Whimsical Vibe…read more Goat & Rabbit is such a gem for anyone looking for thoughtful, creative zero-proof cocktails in Kansas City. Their NA drinks are intentional, well-balanced, and honestly some of the most unique I've tried. I ordered two drinks: * Smedley Gaze (9.5/10) Spicy, refreshing, citrusy -- SO good. If you like a spicy margarita or anything with a kick, this is the one. The Ritual tequila, cucumber, Thai chili, and lime work together beautifully. * Petal Talk (7.5/10) Fruity and slightly sweet with the most amazing lychee foam. It had a flavor reminiscent of really good berry jam -- such a fun and unique drink. They don't serve food, but they are outside food friendly which is a huge plus. The atmosphere is whimsical and cozy, especially right now with their Mad Hatter inspired "Very Merry Unbirthday" tea party theme. It gives the whole place such a fun, imaginative vibe. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're sober, sober-curious, or just want an elevated NA cocktail experience in KC! (Review by @sobersipskc on TikTok and Instagram)

Overall the space is a clean, modern experience for OP for a casual night out.

I was fully immersed into the music and the way the room is set up allows for optimal listening at all angles. The cocktails I tried were amazing.

Black dolphin feels like a moment in time, while still bringing a modern take to the jazz scene in KC.

A little known tip is…read morethat you can text their number to see if they have any patio or weeknight spots open for walk-ins. The servers and bartenders are so fun throughout the week, and are willing to talk through the drinks and provide some wonderful details and recommendations. The atmosphere is unmatched across Kansas City. You won't find a cooler interior with the lights and ceilings with a beautiful view of the city, but the lesser known star of the location is the patio seating, with great views of the skyline. My friends and I have tried most of the drinks, but the Enfleurage, Magnus, Ambrosia and Kashi are favorites of the latest menu.

Unless you want to stand by the windows with a shelf as a table like outcasts, I would suggest making a reservation. The interior is beautiful. The lights on the ceiling mimic a starry night, visible through the glass windows from the street below. To enter you'll have to meet the host outside the bar on the 1st floor (currently Jade Jaguar). The host will send you up to the Mercury room via elevator, where you will be greeted by a server who will lead you into the gorgeous space. The space has 4 couches for larger parties, a few tables for seating, about 6 bar seats and a couple shelf tables for the unprepared outsiders without reservations (us). You will also be greeted with a complimentary tiny glass of kombucha. We didn't order food, but the drinks were delicious and unique. Mercury Room is a great place to stop by on a date night. Side note: This is the first place in Kansas City where I actually felt underdressed so if you want to dress up and go somewhere with a matching atmosphere of luxury, this is the place.

There is a small bar to the right of the entrance but don't let its size fool you!! This little bar and at least the night I was there two bartenders make some "Big" drinks!! Between my friend and I we ended up trying 4 different mixed drinks during our visit, each one was a completely different experience and flavor profile.

We were able to do a walkthrough and trial run ahead of time, and they thoughtfully helped us design a layout that made perfect sense for our intimate 40-person reception. Their guidance made the entire space feel intentional, comfortable, and beautifully put together. The space itself is absolutely stunning--elevated, warm, and perfect for a smaller, more personal celebration. When we arrived after our ceremony, the room flip was seamless and everything was exactly as planned. But what truly set Verdigris apart was the service. The staff was phenomenal--attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our night special. Every detail was handled with care, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy the evening with our guests. We reserved the space for three hours, and it was 100% worth it. If you're considering hosting a private event--especially a wedding reception or intimate gathering--this is the place to do it. We would choose Verdigris again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.

It was a Sunday evening, and the bar had just two couples inside. We sat ourselves in one of the cozy corners with comfortable couches, seats, and circular tables. Their physical menu only had drinks, but there was a QR code that showed a more comprehensive menu, such as other alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic drinks and small plates. We all ordered different drinks, and I got the Matronae's Blessing. My drink was tequila and vodka based with white tea shrub, lychee, soda, and lychee pâte de fruit, which is a traditional French jelly candy. Among all the drinks I tried, mine was the favorite of the night. The lychee really shined through, the soda was refreshing, and the pâte de fruit was the best surprise - chewy, sweet, and bursting with lychee flavor. Sadly, I don't have a photo of the drink, but I will be back to order this again! Aside from the great drinks, the bar itself is beautiful. The three arches behind the main bar holding the liquor are brightly lit around the edges to have a glowing effect, the bar table has light underneath that accentuate the dark green/blue color, and the rest of the bar is dimly lit to let the details really shine. You bet we did a mini photoshoot once all the other patrons left. The servers were not only great at making drinks, but they were kind enough to take some group photos for us! The girls and I had a wonderful evening, and it was the perfect way to end the night.
