Vye Cocktail Lounge

People were smoking on the second floor. The drink cocktail menu items can only order on the first floor. The bartender on the second floor doesn’t seem like he wants to work at all. The vibe is cool but it looks very unorganized.

This was a really great space with a GREAT view of the city! The staff were also super friendly and their drinks were TASTY!

Great spot to get a drink and enjoy the view! The lounge downstairs is a vibe as well.

What a horrible experience. Horrible service. To the point where we had to walk up to the bar to get our own drinks because our server never brought them. Sat us right by the door and it was constantly being left open and it was cold out. Drinks were good but this was not a good experience.

If you want to have THE best martini in the KC area you need to try their Crème Brûlée martini. I promise you will thank me later!! Service was also great and we had a great time checking the city view on the rooftop

Me and several of my friends came in the other day and had the most delicious cocktails! Their N/A Cactus Kick was by far my favorite I was delighted to have an actual N/A that wasn’t beer or some lame soda. This was well crafted by their bartender Zach. My friends all enjoyed their cocktails that they received from him as well! Ten out of ten will be back!

I would give this Zero stars if possible. The WiFi was down, which I can understand can be a problem. The entire time at the place was unorganized and unfortunately it was a horrible experience for my wife. We had friends in town celebrating her birthday and this was by far the worst stop we had the entire weekend. I had made reservations for VIP and on the rooftop there was a table showing "reserved" at our time. The guy downstairs said our party of 5 could sit at the bar or sit in the mezzanine area that had no one or no music playing. It was a perfect night to be on the rooftop, which is why I booked it, so I said screw it and took everyone upstairs to the open table saying reserved. That's when the problems continued because the poor bartender was the only one working the rooftop. I went to the bar and said we could order drinks and take them back to the table. Not real VIP, but no problem. When I ordered my drink, it was awful, and made incorrectly. Then when I tried to keep a tab open she said she couldn't due to the Wifi but she could run my credit card to pay. This place doesn't know the meaning of customer service, and from some of the other reviews I'm not the only one experiencing this. Never intend to go back to this place, and I see the WiFi worked well enough for them to charge people's cards and send me an email asking for my experience. It's unfortunate because if the rooftop were more organized, it's in a good location and the DJ was the best part of our short stay there. My wife couldn't get her friends out of there fast enough. What's even funnier was the fact we saw two other groups that also visited VYE at our next stop and we literally connected over drinks cracking up over how bad our experiences were at VYE. All of us said we should have just gone straight to the lounge where we all ended up because we left the poor service at VYE.

Such a fun spot for a night out with the girls! The atmosphere was amazing, the bartenders were friendly, the drinks were on point, and the live music made it even better. Total 10/10 vibes!

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. 10/10 I 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.

Here's the thing, sometimes places are getting their stuff together, sometimes they fumble? And sometimes they have amazing employees that pick up the fumble and absolutely knock it out of the park! This place has those employees! The bartenders are going to make you feel super at home, the drinks are perfect!! And the rooftop view is perfect! This absolutely has to be a stop for anybody visiting Kansas City! Becca and Joe keep killing it!!

I was quite satisfied with the drink menu & the view on the roof top. This place has some really good potential, but the ambiance was disappointing. The music was outdated, random, & didn't match the vibe of the bar. The lighting inside was too bright for this type of atmosphere. One bartender was amazing, the other was hanging out with his friends & smoking & not even at the bar most of the time, which felt very unprofessional for a place with $15 cocktails.

I hadn't been here before, but saw great reviews! We stopped here after dinner at Farina and it was great! The bartender was fantastic and they are in the process of opening their rooftop bar. We took a peek and it was amazing overlooking downtown KC. The drinks were fantastic (they have Bumbu rum...best ever). We didn't have any food, but the service was really great and felt like a great local bar that will be a frequent stop for us. They even had some live music starting that sounded great. Can't wait to go back!

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.

Cute venue and nice location with rooftop views. The drinks were between $12-$17 and pretty good. The service could've been better it took over 30min to get a drink on a Wednesday around happy hour and it was not busy.

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!

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!

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

I love the bar and the atmosphere. The Manager Steven gave 5 Star customer experience. I will be coming back.

Vye is probably the coolest bar in KC! The ambience is amazing and the staff are great! I would recommend 1000%. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped in here on a Sunday, what a great place. Vye is still a work in progress, but what they having going on right now is great. The staff was fun to visit with and the drinks were amazing. I feel like the vibe in the lounge is upscale without the upscale prices. Went to the roof top to take a look before they officially opened the bar for the day. They views are amazing and will be a great place to relax on a summer night. Can't wait to see the final product for Vye Cocktail Lounge.

Everything was from phenomenal from top to bottom. The drinks were a great price, the service was excellent, and best of all was able to meet the owners. I will definitely be back on my next trip to KC

This bar has the same view as other rooftop bars around it, they have live music and class. this bar has a Spotify playlist on old speakers that is playing old r&b. the people who are at the bar are not upper class, and the seating is limited. not impressed.
