Came here for Saturday brunch 10am-2pm and listened to Alex Abramovitz and HisSwing'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.

Awesome atmosphere and music with great food. We’ll definitely be back

Staff & music are always so fun & amazing. Don’t sleep on the coolest jazz club in KC!

Great Place with excellent jazz band. We went Sat at noon, and were seated right away. The jazz band included a sax and trumpet, both were seasoned pros. The fried chicken with the Chicken and Waffle was some of the best we have ever had, and we are from NOLA! A classic KC spot!

Came with some friends one Saturday night on a whim for live blues. Had a great time and saw that they had brunch. So we came back the next morning and had - most of us agree - the best brunch we could remember. All I can speak for is the biscuits and gravy, which were the best I've had. There was live jazz that morning which just made it better.

Very disappointed. The food is cafeteria grade. The atmosphere is nice for a drink and socializing but this is NOT a place you plan an evening dinner around. The crab cakes were prepackaged, deep fried, with a barely there flavor. The queso is generic cheese melt, at best. Had the southerwest salad... it's just iceberg lettuce with stuff on it. The chicken fried chicken was "hospital good." For $75 plus tip... hard pass.

Cola was phenomenal! Hands down made our experience amazing! I would definitely recommend checking this place out. And the live music is awesome!

This place is a gem!My girlfriend and I pop in every once in a while, mainly for the chicken tenders. Best in all the land. Original is our go to.That is all.

The Phoenix is SUCH a gem. The food is amazing (especially the mac and cheese) and the atmosphere cannot be beat. So happy to have found this place!!
