The Shady Lady is an absolute hidden gem that combines charm, great service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a stylish ambiance that perfectly balances comfort and sophistication. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, making every visit feel special. The menu offers a delightful mix of creative cocktails and delicious bites, each crafted with care and high-quality ingredients.

In the two hours present the stage was empty three times. The couple of house dancers seemed energetic. One just laid on the stage for an entire song. One of our group ordered a beer, never received. The waitress was too busy sitting at a table with the other dancers and guys. As I frequently visit adult men’s clubs nothing I’ve ever seen before in a club. Not going to revisit. ✌🏼

It's been a while since I've been there. I'm gonna have to see the new layout. I use to stop after work for a drink and some thinking time. One of the girls came over to the table next to me. We struck up a conversation. She was nice and friendly. I bought her a drink. I just remember she was nice to talk too. And that was all I was after. I gave her a tip and said goodbye. I wonder how much it has changed. From the comments, I 'd say not much. But I like to form my own opinions and down follow the haters because they have bad motives.

My husband loves going here. We always have fun. If you're looking for a great time, this is the place to go.

It used to be a good place to talk with the girls and unwind, but the current group of young ladies are pretty worthless. They will ignore you while playing on there phones for hours at a time. Totally disinterested in the customers, often sitting in small group off by themselves. Tipping them when they dance doesn't seem to break the ice, they go right back to their table and return to playing on their cell phones.

Last night from 11 something through 3 AM I had my eye on a one dancer she was so sexy. She wore dark green bra and dark green thong and her name is "Amy" she’s White and speaks Spanish. She took me to the private room and she gave me a lap dance my first time in that place, and my first time of her too and I thank her. I’ll see her again soon and she’s my first dancer.

Entered Friday night $20 fee, place your phone in basket then walk through metal detector. Security was a older white man he was very laid back, cool & helpful! FYI They DO NOT sell any cognac nor Smirnoff & only bottled water as this is what some members of my group wanted to drink. 2:30 last call, lights come on at 2:45am, time to exit at 2:55am, lap dance was $30 for the birthday boy. Music was NOT the best for a strip club 90% pop rock dance. 10% rap hip hop R&B. A whole in the wall club majority Mexicans and whites some blacks which all were just sitting standing around looking. Staff was very cool friendly nice... Dancers we're decently cute average 5-7s also cool funny & a couple thick ones... One funny mixed dancer told my paralyzed partner smack my a$$ I responded "yeahhhh smack them pancakes" lol which she laughed & said FU jokingly then she came to sit & talk with me after I told her I just need some butter & syrup I love them pancakes... lol she weighed about 112 lbs wet but had a nice personality & was intoxicated. Overall a decent strip club...WAY BETTER THAN BAZOOKAS which is a 1 star... Baccala 2 star has the best thickest black women it's just VERY DANGEROUS GHETTO UNSAFE & HOOD you better pray before you enter & leave there lol frfr many fights & shootings!!!!

Always a Good time when I make it in. The Corona is always cold and the girls are always friendly. Definitely worth the visit anytime you come to KC.

Went twice and even on Saturday afternoon. The girls weren't as great as I would've liked, but they really knew how to give a lap dance.. dances were 20 bucks each and no cover charge

First the good: great little location, mostly friendly staff (except for one mouthy bartender dude), the drinks were strong and delicious! The biggest plus is the girl guy ratio! I've never been to a club with this many dancers! Wow! And they were all super friendly and chatty, not much of the "hustle".. Now the bad- the only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is their pricing.. drinks were $10+! And their VIP room is $250! Wtf? Not even the Vegas clubs are priced that high.. and for a single dance, most places are $20, but they charge $30 here.. Other than pricing, this place is awesome! I will be back!

Some cute girls, but they will call completely ignore you. Tipped them all. 600 in my pocket and I don't think I got a hello. Would rate it worse if I could.

It's an excellent place!! Great drinks, superb entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere. You can come in single, with a date or as a group and all will be welcomed by the professional ladies. Love the Respectful Staff!!!

It was my first time here there was no cover and my rum & cokes were $6 each which was a little bit more expensive than I would have liked the lap dances I got were fantastic only thing is if you want privacy you won't get it during a lap dance lap dances were $30 for one girl or $50 for 2 girls ask for laina and shey and lex all 3 were good I only got a lap dance from shey and lex but both were good and they will be there on Fridays until 7:30 pm

Shady is a dope spot. The girls are friendly and decent definitely did not have the hustle thirsty vibe that alot of strip clubs have. I know this go kick it with miley. She's hilarious and sexy The management does have some taste and there is a variety of all types of women. It's no cover except weekends it's worth it.

Now this is what I want in a strip club! Dark, on the corner of a questionable neighborhood, but you don't worry about that because of the Italian mobsters surrounding the bar right inside. Anthony, the bartender, gives the place an awesome speak easy vibe. The girls come around and hang with you, even if you're not getting dances. The stage is right at eye level and very accessible, but that doesn't stop the ladies from pulling off some killer pole tricks. Everyone is just partying. It's not like most strip clubs where you have to plan to skip a few meals that month if you decide to go. On any given night someone could say, "Hey, you wanna go hang out at The Shade?" and I would be down.

Decent spot. Went on a Thursday night, no cover charge and drinks weren't expensive. I know it's a strip club but the ATM had a TEN dollar fee so get cash beforehand. The girls were pretty attractive and most of them weren't trying to twist your arm into dances except for one who was really yappy and would not stop trying to hustle us for drinks/dances. Nice and spread out, plenty of room to chill on your drink if you don't wanna be up front.

The best club in KC. Some of the coolest girls I've come across and I've crossed a few. Reading the reviews here left me in dismay. A negative review here is the failure of the person who posts it. I have to assume that your bad time lies on you my friend.

My buddy came in town and we were stayin downtown so we asked our taxi driver to take us to a strip club. Even though they don't exactly 'strip' me and my boy had a great time. It looked a bit 'shady' at first, but when we came in and got a drink, the party began. The girls are really fun... it wasn't a constant hustle. They were more just partyin with us than tryin to suck the wallet out of our pants. Only complaint is when we had our tab running, I wanted to get $20 bucks in ones and the bartender said I had to get it out the ATM or my tab had to be over $50 to get it from him. WTF?

Oh, so disappointed. Went on a Thursday during happy hour, there were 5 women...only one took her top off. I had to go up to the stage and convince another one to show me her boobs. We went to spend money, but only ended up tipping the 2 pairs boobs we did see. Overall, the girls weren't that great looking, but a couple of them were decent enough to enjoy the show. It is in a bad neighborhood, but I would go back because there wasn't a cover and drink prices were ok.

I can into shady lady with a group from work to watch the royals game.... About 15 of us.... When we entered it was slow and quiet so we figured it would be nice.... When we arrived we were treated like kings and queens. 2 girls were sent to dance for us.... They were amazing and we ended up enjoying ourselves very much. Best club experience I have ever had. Thank you Lynzie and daisy!
