    This is a cute spot. We came on a Saturday night and we were able to hear live music. I ordered an off menu drink but it was good. We also ordered the fizz drink. Food: we had the crab wanton nachos and they were good. We had good service as well.

    Great stop for some drinks. They're changing their ways and bringing in some high end ingredients and elevating their cocktails!

    Such a cool joint to enjoy cocktails and jazzy lounge music! I walked in for a cocktail and was instantly intrigued by the lady laying on the piano singing... he voice was great, the music was wonderful and the venue was spot-on! They have traditional cocktails, but it's not a craft cocktail joint. Wine list is also typical for a Marriott bar as well, but the venue is nothing like other typical Marriotts! Service was decent... Cocktail was nice... The venue was what I enjoyed most.

    Since this is downtown parking might not be easy besides that I do love their location. The food menu changes according to the season and the service were really really good. It's really a nice place where you can enjoy an evening with your loved ones or friends company by a good music. At first, I thought they serve some food that's really fancy and goes really well with your cocktail or wine

    Music is great, also the food and service is amazing, I love singing there. I've had nothing but great experiences there.

    I was so excited for this place to open, made a reservation for one of the first weekdays they opened. Had no idea what to expect upon arrival. Firstly, the interior is chic, moody, and gives the impression that it would be a great date night spot - from the dim lighting, to well-dressed bartenders, and of course a pianist. The cocktails are aesthetically pleasing, and innovative. They nailed the aesthetic aspect for sure! But... there were a few things that shifted my experience, and left me a bit confused. When you walk through the rotating front doors for the first time it would be incredible to feel as though you've gone back in time to the former lounge "rendezvous", or to capture the essence and history behind the building. Instead, it felt more like a bachelorette party, or howl at the moon. The pianist is talented, 100%, but the music just did not fit the vibe of the space. From bohemian rhapsody, to rap god, and everything in between. The selections were all over the place, and sometimes hard to follow or fully get into. The prices are high!! Which you would expect, to an extent. We started off with the garden state and room for dessert. They are stunning drinks, and the ingredients are so appealing. I'd order the garden state again, but unfortunately, pass on the room for dessert. The toasted orange blossom meringue (sounds delicious, right??) made it difficult to enjoy the actual drink, whenever I tried to take a sip the meringue floated in one piece to wherever the glass was tilted, it was too sticky and thick to get to any of the liquid - like the texture of a melted marshmallow. We ordered another round, The fruit salad fizz and so close, so far. They were tasty, and I really enjoyed the banana flavor in so close, so far - sweet but not overwhelming. Whereas, the fruit salad fizz was bubbly and refreshing, nothing crazy! Overall, I think it's good to know what to expect when visiting. If you're looking for a romantic or intimate and classic date night location, I wouldn't necessarily say this is the spot to be. But rather a place to top off your night. Good for a group of friends, a bday celebration, or even a bachelorette outing. Come here, if you're in the mood to sing along and listen to lively, upbeat singing/piano. Drinks are on the pricier side, $15-$19 each. Kudos to the owners, I know they worked hard to get this place up and running, and that shines through in the curated menu and beautiful interior. I'd like to come back with some girlfriends on a night out, now that I have a better idea of the atmosphere.

    Well I'm glad we have another cocktail bar for people who come to KC. The drinks are fine, but on the pricy side for KC. When they are pricy I want great, these are fine. The bar is a gorgeous space and I wish they would have leaned into the old cool bar vibe. The piano player is really good but makes the space so loud. The space is already loud and the piano just makes it louder. You are not going to this bar to have a conversation. And what is with the glowing heads? Why? They block the gorgeous doors.

    Sometimes I get mad when I go somewhere I love that I'm just now visiting for the first time. This happened at Voo Lounge. I went with a group on a Wednesday evening and it was pretty empty. The incredible pianist, Will had us entertained the whole night. We played name that tune and did so poorly but it was so fun. The food was also delicious. I had a glass of wine so can't speak to their cocktails but they looked good! Would definitely recommend checking out.

    Located downtown Kansas City in the old Muehlebach Hotel. Stop by on a night out for cocktails, drinks and food while listening to a Pianist play your favorite songs. The Audience may break out in song and sing along. Come admire the old architecture and ambiance of the place.

    We stopped here for our last nightcap after a night on the town. Sat at the bar and had amazing service while we listened to a gentleman play some music. Love the ambience and the drinks. My husband just had a double shot of Buffalo Trace and I have the Rendezvous. It was a delicious drink!

    Really enjoyed the drinks and ambiance of Voo Lounge. My husband and I were visiting Kansas for the night, and our hotel recommended this bar. We are so glad that we went. The staff is so nice and knowledgeable on cocktails. We also really enjoyed the entertainment for the night. It was a perfect ending to our evening.

    This lounge is located at the Marriott downtown KC. I liked the seating arrangements and ambiance right away. Appetizers were ordered along with drinks. Our server was quick and efficient during the short stay. Overall, it is a nice place to get a bite and beverage while waiting for others to meet up.

    Recently opened in downtown Kansas City, Voo Lounge is a piano and cocktail bar attached to the Marriott hotel, with its own entrance on Baltimore Ave. Upon entering through the revolving door, you'll be greeted by a display of members' lockers on the right, while the bar is strategically located along the left wall. Tables are set up around the pianos where live music takes place, creating a perfect ambiance. We decided to sit at the bar and were impressed by the beautiful back bar with a great selection of spirits. T.J. was behind the bar and made me a perfectly balanced negroni that I had been craving. The crowd was lively and engaged in great conversations, while the resident pianist, Will O'keefe, set the perfect tone for the lounge. The live music served as a perfect backdrop for those engaged in conversations, and the center of the show for those enjoying a delicious libation. Alison Korn, the mastermind behind Voo Lounge, has done a wonderful job creating a sophisticated and enjoyable atmosphere. We can't wait to go back!

    Then it all went away - Downtown Kansas City fell out of favor and the building sat empty for a few decades.

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.

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.

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.
