Used to go to FF to listen to music that makes your ass MOVE!! Aye!!!We had a few times years ago that were hit and miss, but last Saturday with DJ Pure IT was LIT! Everyone had a good time! lots of smiles and good vibes throughout the place. Playlist was on fire! I felt safe and secure there. Drink prices reasonable. And the couches are still comfy! I also have an awesome video off a couple dance offs. I'll see if I can figure how to share it.

Always a Good time at Firefly to be had on a Friday and Saturday Night. The DJ's start at 11pm and they start cover then also. No Ball Caps or Any Sports Jersey's ever also Folks... Definitely worth the visit if you haven't been here for a Good Time yet in Westport.

Firefly has a lot going for it: smoldering ambiance, a fabulous bartender, an interesting cocktail menu and good food. One enters via a loooong narrow brick hallway, all the way towards an inviting room that is the ultimate speakeasy. They've decked out the rather large room with intimate booths that are as conducive to small groups (we had anywhere up to 9 people at ours) as they are to couples "wanting to get to know each other- wink, wink."It was quiet last night, except for my group. Quiet. Not "dead." When I was a bartender it drove me nuts when people said the latter and it still kind of bugs me. Nothing is as insulting and rude as someone who walks into a place and declares, "Why is it so *dead* in here?!" It blows my mind that people actually do this. It's like adding insult to injury. I know this place thrives on the weekends, but I prefer a more laid back kind of scene. That is, *no* scene. I think there is a lot of potential here (I'm thinking some kind of 1950s Naples jazz clubesque scene) and I get the idea they are going through some changes. For example, their website states that Thursdays is an all night happy hour from 6 pm- 3am. We got there at 7 and was told they don't open until 8. When we asked about the specials, well, there's no more Thursday night thing going on apparently, which was kind of a bummer. I guess I don't get the point of having *nothing at all* on special, especially in a city where the buyback is all but non existent (not that I'm complaining when you consider the deals that most bars have!) It's all good, though, because I was so adoring of the environs (and they have a secluded back patio), I had no intentions of leaving. The DJ was good, our bartender took excellent care of us and when you're surrounded by good company, well, that's all you need for a great night out, isn't it? I look forward to a return visit.

First stop Westport, location: Firefly Lounge. Ahh yes driving around in circles looking for parking I could not wait to get inside! If you are in a rush and not paying attention Firefly might not happen for you. It's a small sign hanging above the door. The one attention grabber is probably the ice blue illuminating light from the windows and door way. As you enter you will walk down a long hallway and the, BAM....you have entered this trendy, oddly decorated lounge. My travel partner and I grabbed two seats at the bar and James the awesome and very friendly bartender really was attentive. He recommended our drinks, except we splurged for a PB&J Shot, hahah!!! Well it wasn't PB&J like I remember but it was good. He introduced us to a beer, Lips of Faith. HOLY GREATNESS!! It was crisp, light and refreshing. I'd drink it again for sure! he also had me try another beer cannot recall the name but the background notes were a lot like balsamic vinegar, not a bad thing if you like balsamic. I do. We really liked this place and would certainly go again. It's a good spot for a drink before it's get really late and packed. Nice atmosphere, good beats and fun people!

EDIT: I hate to do this, but my latest experience at Firefly was dismal at best. After moving from Kansas City in July 2010 I couldn't stop telling people about the wonderful little gem tucked away in the increasingly douche-bag laden Westport. The drinks! The service! The crowd that's as unpredictable as it is vivacious! Last week I came back, excited to return to my old haunt and sip on the drinks that I had come to love. I was taken aback by a new bartender, but fearlessly ordered my Hendrick's martini with a cucumber. My eyes widened as he measured a stirring spoon's worth of vermouth, continued to grow as he dumped in ONE (yes, ONE!) jigger of gin, and became saucer-sized as he then proceeded to stir the drink. After placing the cucumber on the rim he poured his mysterious mixture into my glass, and I was shocked when the drink didn't even touch the cucumber. He then charged my $9 for my third-of-a-drink. This is, admittedly, the first time I've ever had anything but top-notch service at Firefly. Maybe my absence skewed my perception, or maybe the institution is making detrimental changes. I certainly hope it doesn't become one of those "I went there when it was cool, but now it's a dump" sort of places. Dear Firefly, please go back to excellent.Nonplussedly yours,TysonORIGINAL: Wow. I've found my new favorite "martini-type" place to go in KC, a title previously held by Harry's. Wonderfully mixed Manhattan (and I'm pretty picky) for the right price ($6.50 and worth it). The atmosphere, even on a Saturday night, was relaxed and conducive to conversations, though that could be due to the snow on the ground. Going back tonight.

Stopped in for dancing and refreshment with the girls a couple of weeks back. We were early and the place hadn't started poppn yet so bartenders were nice and friendly :) lol. (Thx for the kisses) Once the DJ got started it was a straight on party - music was groov'n! I love Westport because of the diversity and this night was no different - a good mix of people there and everyone I talked to was very friendly! Of maybe I was the one who was so friendly? LOL it was fun and I'd go back for sure.

Talk about taking the "lounge" theme to the extreme, and not in a good way. The music was uneventful, the service was tolerable, and the atmosphere was dull. Apologies for not a longer post, but I left after 30 minutes because it was that lame.

One of the worst establishments you could ever visit the security wasn't trained the lacked common knowledge and they often showed the weakness of the bar many times. This is the worst place you could come definitely with the lack of knowledge, power, and authority. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone 1 out of 10 wouldn't recommend no food and the ambiance was horrible
