Great little spot for live music. Good food and outside seating as well. I especially love this as a happy hour spot. Expect to pay $5 cover if you’re there during the shows.

Had a wonderful time with the service and entertainment of jazz and vocalist performances! Can’t wait to go again

We came here for a jazz brunch with some of our friends who live in Kansas City, and it did not disappoint. The food and music were both awesome. It's a small space for a jazz band, so it was super loud, but we loved it. A very fun Kansas City experience!

The Phoenix didn’t disappoint! Local artist Nikki White who appears most Thursdays is a treat and provides great entertainment. Highly recommend.

Came here for Saturday brunch 10am-2pm and listened to Alex Abramovitz and His
Swing'n Kansas City Jazz Band. Amazing band which took request from a birthday Party and performed to perfection. My server Abby made a stiff awesome old fashion. Must come if you visit Kansas City! Support the infrastructure which at least pay musicians to perform live! Came back and enjoyed another round of hospitality, live music and drinks by lovely bartender Miranda. Easy transportation by free Kansas City Street car, stop at North Loop, then walk cross parking lots.

It's always a great time here! From the musicians to wait the staff and the bartenders. Big shout out to the Manager Cola also.

The Phoenix is one of those places that has it all. Great food (try molten tenders or French dip), amazing cocktails (best Old Fashioned in KC) and some historic vibes. My favorite time to come is on Tuesdays when Talya is the singer. Fun times!

Brunch is definitely a fun time to go, but can be super busy. We were able to snag a table in the back where it was dimly lit. Food was good and the service was okay, but the live music really makes it worth going to. If you like jazz you must try this place out.

Saturday night, after midnight and everyone (including management) not pleased that the joint is not hoppin...your loss (if you're reading) my gain, crazy BMW 😜 playing and you missed it! Come every Saturday night, a superb vibe, Anataya is superb, probably all, come, you'll miss it otherwise!

This is an awesome place to go. I will state though that the food/menu is not as good as it was pre Covid-19. On my last visit, the food seemed previously frozen. Food was good, not great. The atmosphere is worth going.

Very cool jazz spot in downtown (8th and Central)! The bar is solid and they have outdoor patio seating with skyline views. The food is great too- went there for brunch one Sunday and everything was phenomenal. Try the hangover cure (fried pork tenderloin with biscuits and gravy - see pix)! The shredded corned beef was very tasty too. Bonus: they always have live jazz, and there is a lot of history there!

It’s hard to rate just the food, because the live music is such an integral part of this place and adds so much to the dining experience! As far as jazz brunches that I have been to this takes the cake for being the best. The music wasn’t too loud through the open door to the patio where I was sitting and the food itself was stellar. The French toast was an unexpected winner, with the biscuits and gravy coming in so closely at second. Perfectly savory and wonderfully sweet.It was truly a great morning.

The young lady that helped our table was excellent, we did arrive too late for food unfortunately. The band Friday night was fun and entertaining while we were having our drinks.
Holly Kell
Fun place on a Friday night for out of towners to listen to some jazz and grab a few drinks! Sliders and fries were amazing.
William Kelly
Excellent mushroom burger with onions, tomato, and hummus with feta cheese. Only $9. Substituted steamed veggies instead of fries for $2 more. Soup or salad is also an option. Many traditional meat choices also. Inviting "old world" bar and grill atmosphere and friendly staff. My meal was excellent. Good enough make it my regular lunch stop when in Kansas City.

The Phoenix is a Kansas City institution! Unfortunately, it is not accessible. There are not unisex restaurants here. This is an excellent place to enjoy a slice of true Kansas City. Often times there is music here, sometimes scheduled, and sometimes jam sessions. The food is tasty, the drinks are poured well. And the services good. Seating is tight and the space is not very large but the experience is excellent!
Aaron Watson
First time not my last time, excellent service and the live music 🎶 was top notch, Nikki white was so good
Phil Rumbaoa
Excellent food and service at a good price. The house pinot grigio at happy hour prices was a great deal. Madame Laws pasta with shrimp was very tasty and filling. I enjoyed the crab cakes appetizer as well. A very nice meal with my family while being entertained by Tim Whitmer and the KC Express.
