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.

It does have a of cheese but I didn't mind that. The mash potatoes were also really good and their gravy is so flavorful. It pairs perfectly with the steak. I got the steak medium rare and it came out exactly how I wanted. Super juicy and well seasoned. Probably shouldn't have ordered the nachos as appetizers because we ended up taking this home from being so full from the steak but the nachos were also very tasty especially if you get both the beef and chicken. This place definitely satisfied our steak craving and the service was fast and attentive.

We encountered a lovely bartender by the name of Jennifer, who was super kind and helped us do a little tasting of some different spirits we were interested in. And she crafted our usual cocktails deftly. She even gave us a tip on how to get into another restaurant that we wanted to snag a reservation for. Jennifer's great service was appreciated and very well regarded by my wife and me. We look forward to another good afternoon or evening at the Drum Room soon.

I didn't do any research beforehand and was definitely expecting a fast food type vibe. Not the case! Varsity Club is such a cool little spot in the River Market! For fellow Kansas Citians - it almost gave a Jim's Alley Bar vibe. Bonus points given for the fact there was a disco ball. The smash burgers are delicious! Instead of ordering with your server, you order via QR code and pick up your order outside. It was pretty busy the Friday night we were there, and our food took a bit longer than expected. We had drinks while we waited though so no matter! Definitely worth a stop in!
