Where to Find It

The moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by exposed brick walls, chic chandelier lighting, and an atmosphere that simply invites you to kick back and relax.
Two Floors of Fun
The lounge features two distinct areas for guests to enjoy. On the first floor, you can settle into a comfortable spot and indulge in your favorite cocktail while absorbing the warm ambiance. But if you’re feeling a little adventurous, head up to the rooftop deck where you’ll find breathtaking views of downtown Kansas City. There’s nothing quite like sipping on a carefully crafted drink while soaking in the skyline!
Private Events in Style
Vye also boasts a private event space on its second level, making it an excellent choice for gatherings of all types. Since its soft opening in April and grand opening in May, folks have already been celebrating birthdays, hosting business meetings, and even planning weddings in this chic venue!
Delicious Cocktails, Made In-House
When it comes to drinks, Vye offers a delightful selection that’s sure to please any palate. What sets this place apart is its commitment to crafting syrups in-house, ensuring your cocktail experience is nothing short of spectacular. Right now, the crowd favorites are the Espresso Martini and the delightful Lavender Lemon Drop.
The Espresso Martini combines premium Grey Goose Vodka with Kahlúa, fresh-pressed espresso, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, topped off with espresso beans for that extra flair. Meanwhile, the Lavender Lemon Drop gives a refreshing twist with Absolut Citron and lemon juice, accented by house-made lavender syrup and a zesty lemon twist.
And if you’re in the mood for something on the rocks, then the Mariachi cocktail is a must-try! This fabulous drink features Teremana tequila, peach puree, Cointreau, lime juice, and a Tajin rim – a perfect blend of flavors to get your taste buds dancing.
