Vye Cocktail Lounge

Very cute , chill and relaxed cocktail lounge, came here with a group of friends to by some time. We had reservations at a near by and decided to grab come drinks while we waited. They have two sitting area options as well as the bar area. My friends and I decided to sit in one of the sitting areas and I'm glad we did. It was more of a cozy feel. The drink menu had plenty of options to choose from, I went with the lavender lemon drop. 10/10I definitely recommend giving this place a try, I'll be back for sure. They also have private rooms available for an event. There was a private party going on while I was there.

Lively cocktail lounge on a Saturday night with a DJ and bartenders who know what they are doing. Music genre was not my usual style but it was fun. Limited seating at the bar area unless you have reservations... if you are okay coming in early or standing around hoping a seat opens up... it's a chance. But if you are in a group- best consider a reservation.

Second time visiting Vye and again had a great experience. I had two expresso martinis that were perfect. Bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. We came for the roof top, but decided to stay seated in the cocktail area, which gives a dark academia vibe.

This week I checked out Vye Cocktail Lounge . If you are looking for a good cocktail with a great view this place is good spot. The interior was very nice and the service was really good . My only complaint is that when you visit the rooftop bar the menu is different. I was not able to order the any signature cocktails , only standard mixed drinks . Which the pricing is about the same for a regular margarita offered on the roof vs a signature drink down stairs . Just an fyi , this spot offers drinks only no small appetizers or snacks .

Vye has the Views! If you are looking for a spectacular view of some KC landmarks, you must check out the rooftop of Vye. Located at the edge of Crossroads on Main, near Union Station, Vye recently opened and is buzzing with energy. The general manager, bartenders, and staff are friendly and seem present and active in the business. The cocktails downstairs are notably different from what's served at the rooftop bar so, if you are looking for a fancier cocktail I would suggest ordering one at the bar on the first floor and taking it upstairs to soak up the scenery. Since it's outdoors, however, the more expensive "craft" cocktails will be served in plastic cups, which can be off-putting for a $15 beverage, but I understand the concern. I went with the Main Street 75, since gin based cocktails are my go-to for the hotter months, and I love a good French 75. This one was notably sweeter, maybe from the raspberry Chambord, but it was crisp and light, which made it a great drink to imbibe outside. I'm just used to mine having more of citrus kick instead of that sweetness. Also, it could have been that I'm used to it being made with a different type of gin other than Bombay, it seemed like they were out of the original botanical gin that was listed on the drink menu. But, it was still a well-balanced and well-made drink. However, next time, I'll probably take the recommendation of the sidecar. For the steep price of $15, I better be getting something special, and here it's for sure the views of the city skyline at night. Once you take the elevator upstairs, from the main bar, you can see the Kauffman Center, the Western Auto sign, and the lit up ferris wheel! It's truly breathtaking and a great Instagram photo opportunity. It was definitely lively for a Friday night (around 10pm) but it wasn't overly crowded or loud. You could sit comfortably and enjoy the fresh air, fabulous views, and friendly conversation. The volume of music was just right, and it wasn't overly aggressive, I liked the rhythmic Latin vibes. Now, just to be clear, there is a bar upstairs. However, it only serves basic mixed drinks, and I'm not sure about beer/wine. I don't think those are offered at all outside, but I could be wrong. Drink prices at this bar are undoubtedly lower than the downstairs bar. Also to note, the inside bar is open till 1:30 in relation to the outdoor bar and rooftop space that is only open till midnight. Another thing, I do not think any food is served at all, so, hopefully, in the future, we'll see some charcuterie or some basic appetizers or pop-ups with local businesses.

Came here for a drink on First Friday before dinner. Great, chill atmosphere and excellent drinks. Definitely a must stop for anyone hanging out in the Crossroads!

Adorable new bar on Main. Dropped by without realizing how new it is. Drinks were solid and it's worth a return visit!

Drinks were very good and the service was very nice but they had Fox News on so I won't be back.

What an amazing cocktail lounge!! Our family of 7 stopped in this past Sunday afternoon. We were welcomed by the staff immediately and were very pleased with the drink menu. The drinks were fantastic and beautiful... Our favorites were the Aviation, Blackberry Sour and the maple old fashioned. The space is decorated well and comfortable. Our service was impeccable!! We will be coming back next visit to KC!

Great new cocktail bar just down the street from the Freight House. Amazing view from the rooftop deck!
