Need a late night chill spot in the Crossroads that offers great drinks, fresh wood fired pizza, a unique environment with a cool story? This is your spot. We hit this cafe after 10:30 PM on Saturday night and had a really good time people watching, enjoying a made to order wood fired pizza with an Irish coffee to round out the evening. One of the manager's (Jo, as I recall), took good care of us and gave a little history of the building. It was a former Pabst Brewing Depot and Pendergast warehouse. The food was fresh and rich perfectly crafted. It was a great way to end an evening date night out.
Inside the Crossroads Hotel is XR Cafe part of 2 other venues. Iced Salted Maple Latte was served, one size sold. Upon first sip I received a satisfying taste but as continuous consumption all I tasted was bitterness.
This space is so inviting and beautiful. It's well designed and a quiet place to catch up with friends or work a bit on a weekday. They serve breakfast until 11 on weekdays and 2pm on the weekends. I enjoyed an iced caramel latte and their Hong Kong French Toast, which was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. Service was personalized and fast, and our barista was so kind.
This is the lobby bar restaurant in the Crossroads Hotel. We stopped in around 3:00 and were between lunch menu and dinner menu so our options were very limited. Even with limited food options our meal was delicious. We had the Italian chop salad and the Gabagool sandwich. Service was fast and friendly. Our cocktails were all tasty. We had an espresso martini, Negroni, Saffron spritzer and a holiday sour ( can't remember the name). The vibe and ambience is urban sophistication. Loved the seat groupings.
Fantastic, hip restaurant! Atmosphere has a cool, yet very comfortable industrial chic vibe. Cool couches and work stations make this place perfect for chilling with friends or dining solo while working. The BEC sandwich is delicious! Coffee is very good and the servers are very friendly and conscientious.
I wasn't excited by the small-plate menu (I didn't want a meal, since I had dinner plans later). The Gustav sour was good, although there wasn't very much of it given the size of the ice cube. I enjoyed the grilled peppers more than I thought I would--a few more chips would have been nice. Felt neglected by the wait staff.
XR Café is a bar and lounge located in the lobby of the Crossroads Hotel. To me, the ambiance/atmosphere is the clear selling point here. The tall exposed ceilings contribute to what is already a large open space while the layout and separate seating areas promote a more intimate setting. Clusters of exposed lightbulbs illuminate the centrally located island bar... Of the dozen or so house and classic cocktails, I ordered the "Pony's New Trick" {Bombay Bramble, Italicus Bergamot Liqueur, Peychaud's, Lemon, Simple, Prosecco} for $14. It was good. Overall, great spot to grab a drink with a friend or kick off your night out.
I stayed in this hotel when I was in town and since I got in late I wanted a simple dinner. The staff said the hotel bar had good food and drinks so I went here and it was great! The servers were really nice. I got a cocktail that was amazing and a pizza with fig jam and turkey sausage, also great. I even went back the next day to get a coffee since they have lots of coffee drinks and that was great too. Overall the bar fits the ambiance of the hotel kind of like refurbished factory with exposed bricks. There's lots of couches and chairs around the bar that you can sit at as well as bar stools of course. When I was there at night it was a Monday and some locals 20-30 year olds were coming by also who knew the bartenders. I would definitely come back if I lived in KC or if I visit again.
This place is the best breakfast in town and the staff is amazing. It's also great for just a cup of coffee or even a late night date spot.
Located inside the Crossroads Hotel, a wonderful little bar and restaurant situated immediately to your left as you enter. Plenty of comfortable seating, friendly servers, and a full bar. They specialize mostly in wood fired pizzas, with some appetizers. I opted for the primavera pizza, and shared the margarita and sausage that my girlfriends ordered. Pizza was delicious!!! Thin, crunchy, full of flavors from the sauce and fresh ingredients. I also tried an old fashion, which was equally marvelous.
I really enjoy the open concept of XR Café. It gets a lot of business. Although there's a hotel attached to it people come to hang out for cocktails or to eat at the Italian restaurant that's inside. The drinks are good and the bartenders are friendly. You have to option to sit at the bar or in the lounge area. The atmosphere is relaxing and it's quite dim. I will definitely return.

Soooo good! It was busy on a Friday night but the food was great. We haven't stopped talking about it since. And the ambiance of the crossroads hotel is always 10/10. read more

Low lights, good vibes, and even better bites... Perfect for sinking into a couch with your people or grabbing a drink at the bar. The wood-fired pizza? Absolutely worth it. Service is warm, the atmosphere is easygoing, and everything just flows. One of those places you go to "just hang" and end up staying way longer than planned. read more
Visited for a Friday night date, recommend going early (5-7) and sitting at the bar, it is very popular and does start to fill up quickly! The Crossroads Hotel is gorgeous and that sets a beautiful backdrop for any evening. Bartenders were super friendly and helpful, we loved our drinks and garlic knots were delicious! Pimm's cup was my favorite drink, always refreshing and light. So delicious, I forgot to take a photo! read more

Went here with my love. She had never been and we wanted a place to talk, eat and lounge around. Saw this on Yelp. The vibe of this place gives you a feel like you aren't in KC. It's so chill and they even have a live band. Drinks are fairly price and I really enjoyed the French Cider. It has a nice aroma cinnamon and apple. We also enjoyed a Margherita Pizza. The portion is huge and easy to share with. Since it was just us, we had to take some home. This place was enjoyable and pretty good for a date or a hangout. They also have small board games, billard/pool table, and shuffleboard table. read more
Wow - we really enjoyed our date night at the XR cafe (in the lobby of the crossroads hotel) ! It is the perfect mix of swanky & casual. It's neighbor - Lazia is higher end and higher priced. With the XR cafe you get the same cozy and cool feel, but with more affordable prices. We enjoyed splitting a pizza and salad as well as trying some of their speciality cocktails. Right now is the perfect time to try the XR cafe because it is decked out in beautiful Christmas decor!! read more
We visited KC for a wedding and stayed at the crossroads hotel. This bar/restaurant/lounge was in the lower level of the hotel. It's low key with a few games (pool, shuffleboard, chess). I don't believe it's truly the final destination for most as the rooftop bar is definitely the bigger attraction, its more of a transition area. However, with that said, we enjoyed a quick bite here on two occasions. The food was great. The atmosphere low key which was also very enjoyable and relaxing. read more

I have been to xr, once a month for the past 4 months, and Shane ALWAYS shows us a good time! He's so kind, so patient, and always finds a way to make us out-of-towners feel like we're regulars! Will always return for Shane's shenanigans read more

This is a review of cocktails only! I have not had any food here so I can not speak to that. Some friends and I came here to use our KC passports and had some amazing drinks! I had the Paramour which is a blueberry-butter-fly-pea-tea infused vodka, caramelized pear syrup lime soda. Amazing! Nice balance of tart and sweet! My friend had the continental divide which contains blackberry infused rum, tawny port, tequila,cinnamon lime grapefruit and bitters. Also amazing and more on the boozy side! Great atmosphere and super friendly wait staff! read more

Came here as XR is on the Passport Program, so got BOGO drinks. Came to peep out the absolutely gorgeous hotel. I am obsessed. Had drinks in a booth, and had the spiced marcona almonds to nosh on. I had the Upper East Side, which was delish. I love anything with J. Ringer gin. Hubby had the peach old fashioned, which was a generously sized drink, but he said he wished it had a stronger peach flavor. Very cool you could order a pizza from the brick oven right there in the lobby by Lazia. Plan on coming here and working one day, sipping on Messenger coffee. Crossroads Hotel is a gem. read more

We had breakfast here on a Sunday morning the day after we got married (& stayed in the hotel, which you should do too). It was the perfect place to get some good grub in a quiet & comfortable setting. I had the avocado toast & added an egg. It was phenomenal. I wish I could eat like that all the time. It comes with pickled vegetables on it & microgreens which is just perfect. The bread was also amazing & obviously something special. My new husband ordered the BLT which I also took a bite out of & I can confirm- tasty as hell. We both had mimosas (a little on the pricier side & probably not worth it, but if it's your honeymoon morning you do whatever you want) & then watched the bartender making several bloody mary's & struck up a conversation with her about what went in them. They use a pickled Bloody Mary mix, & since she offered to make us a little sample Bloody Mary, I can tell you it does make a difference. I am really glad we decided to eat here & not go out somewhere for breakfast. read more
