VOO Lounge

"So I’m a huge champion for all places downtown KC, as i am a local that lives in the Crossroads. But, this is the first, and only, establishment that I will tell locals and tourists to avoid. The first time we went to Voo Lounge there were very few people present during happy hour and we had some snacks and drinks. Live music was good. Problem was that the place just seemed to ‘forget’ that there were any specials and the bill was full freight on every thing we ordered. After calling attention to the issue it took 30 minutes to address it, and then they said all they could do is give a partial refund instead of the normal advertised happy hour price. So be it. Tonight we tried again. Three of us walked in to get a drink at the bar and the hostess stopped us and said we were not allowed to do so. When I asked why we couldn’t she said they were not allowing walk ins. Seeing 4 or 5 empty tables I just said to seat us at an empty table but she said she couldn’t because some “reservations’’ might be coming. Multiple groups behind us also got told there was nothing. So I said we are just going to get a drink and enjoy the music by standing, but she said we couldn’t. When I politely asked what we could do, she said ‘find another bar’. Which we did. We were there at least 20-30 minutes and no one showed up to fill these phantom reservations seats. This establishment, for some reason, thinks it’s fine to be incredibly rude. Skip this place. Many better options downtown."

"My wife and I swung by here for a couple cocktails before a show at the Midland. We absolutely loved it! Great cocktails, wonderful ambiance, and the piano player did a GREAT job keeping everyone entertained. I hope to be back."

"Came here on a first date, and it was amazing! The piano player was amazing! Got to hear all sorts of great music while impressing my date."

"Simply incredible. Drinks are inventive & well-balanced and delicious. Food is just as creative and tasty. Bring friends so you can try more of the drinks! Also, the bartenders are nice, helpful & fun, and the love piano music made for the best ambience✨"

"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 Okeys, 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!"
