Kill Devil Club

This place has a very exclusive vibe. Classy with great red and black tones. The bar is nice and the decorations are fun. I would recommend coming here only if you are looking for a more spruced up night out. It doesn't feel like the type of place you can bop to after a night at P and L. Check out the hours before going. It seems like it's never open!

One of the classier places to grab a cocktail in the power and light area. Kill Devil offers a great assortment of cocktails in an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere. A group of friends and I came here to grab a cocktail last Friday night. Walking inside, I was impressed with the spacious room w/ chandeliers, leather booths, and live entertainment. We grabbed some seats and were quickly brought menus. Unfortunately, they only had one worker (the bartender) that night. So, we ended up having to go to the bar to order drinks. However, the bartender worked quickly and our drinks were made in a matter of minutes. I did not order any cocktails that night, but I got to sample the cocktails my friends ordered. All of them tasted great. Some of my favorites were The War of The Roses and The Kill Devil Punch. They were both not too strong (but you could still taste the alcohol), slightly sweet, and refreshing. The only downside of the night was the temperature of the club. It was hot, and, after an hour or so, we all got extremely uncomfortable. I hope this is not a reoccurring problem as I would only consider going here then with light clothing or with an intention to spend less than an hour here. Altogether, I enjoyed my time here at Kill Devil. It's something different and provides a more relaxing, swanky atmosphere than the standard bars/clubs in the area. I'll definitely be back to try a cocktail for myself as long as they turn the heat down!

DO NOT BOOK HERE. THEY DOUBLE BOOKED MY EVENT AND TOLD ME 3 days before!!!!!! They are unorganized and will never use them or even think about using them ever again. We had everything planned. People flying into town and now we are scrambling to find a place in 3 days in October. What a huge mess.

I love this place. From the leather chairs to the swanky atmosphere, this is easily one of the classiest places to get a cocktail. On the weekends, they have live music although often, there are also events that can get a little pricey (think, $20 covers). Their cocktail list is impressive and worth the $10+ prices you'll find. This place is connected to the Gallery Event space, so sometimes it can be closed for private parties. If your heart is set on going some evening in particular (I can't think of a better place to bring some out of town guests to show them a swanky KC time) I would call ahead. On that note, they do have valet parking since as most Kansas Citians know, parking in P&L can be a hassle. Do yourself a favor and park at Union Station and ride the street car down. There's a stop right by this location. So to sum up, I love this place's swanky 1920's vibe and great cocktails. They have food too in you are so inclined. It can get pretty crowded and pretty loud on the weekends (jazz music!) so keep that in mind. But if you haven't, this is a must-go down town!

Thank. The. Lord. This bar is EXACTLY what KC needs, and specifically what the Power and Light district needs. In a city without a ton of jazz options (despite calling itself a jazz town) this spot fills a definite niche and will be one of the hottest tickets in Kansas City. Wanna feel classy and sexy and awesome? Get thee to Kill Devil!So why does this place stand out compared to the other jazz bars in town? Well, primarily in the fact that instead of acting as a listening room, where you have your seat and you just sit there quietly while applauding politely every 10 minutes or so, this place seems to embrace the rowdy, sexy nature of a jazz bar! People are dancing and mingling and while they still appreciate the excellent musicians, they're not being held captive by the tunes. Bottom line: It's hard to have a bad time when you're listening to a 10 piece brass band. Additionally, the drink menu here is stellar. Kill Devil boasts the largest rum selection in KC, and will feature a number of punch options for both individuals or groups! These are Grade-A, hand-crafted cocktails, and the price tag reflects it. But it's all part of the atmosphere. I wouldn't want to come here and drink crappy beer or a well vodka soda. Speaking of atmosphere, the decor of this place is great. All dark woods, it nods to the past but isn't overly themey. I love that they have checkerboards in the corner, it's a nice tip of the hat to Cuban/Puerto Rican/South Floridian culture, without coming off too strong. And the staff all look impeccable. Welcome to town, Kill Devil. You're top notch!

Equal parts classy 1920s and modern chic, it really gives you a great idea of what this city's fashion and identity is about. Great central location too.

Last night went with the hubs, lots of beautiful people but who doesn't look good in a dim candle lit atmosphere. Love trying to flag down help for a 10$ crazy sweet drink....said no one ever. First time I went was a girls night out service was awesome, drinks tasty, entertainment was a guy randomly picking people out rapping a lil diddy. Last night second time the band Bartholomew was up, lead singer plays the piano and guitar, and might I say really well, drummer had a pretty boss solo, hope they're a regular act;)

A great new addition to the Power & Light district, the Kilk Devil is a Prohition-era speak easy with a cozy atmosphere & great cocktails.We went on Prohibition Night, a celebration of the repeal. Starting with the Kill Devil Punch to drink, we loved all the old-fashioned cocktails. While I'm not usually a fan of gin, which was in several of the drinks we sampled, everything was very well balanced and easy drinking. The Bees Knees (10$) was a bit sweet for me, but I loved the special cocktail of the night which featured lime juice and gin. The absinthe cocktail had a very strong anise flavor so beware! We shared the cheese plate $10. They offered a good selection of about 5 cheeses. No one at the table was a fan of the blue cheese offering though. A friend had the ham croquettes, which she enjoyed.Overall if you looking for a fun night out with great music & a nice dance floor, I highly recommend Kill Devil.

Great bar, great service and very good drinks with a very good appetizer spread put out for our group. Though we weren't there at the music time, were very happy with our group event. Though people were saying they didn't like the too sweet rum punch bowl-- I missed trying it...sounded good to me!

Not a good experience. The place was extremely hot inside the night we were there. Service was okay.
