About Black Dolphin

Black Dolphin is a popular jazz destination in KC, known for its live music, cozy atmosphere, and excellent cocktails. The venue features plush seating, good service, and a warm, dark ambiance that is perfect for unwinding. Every seat offers a fantastic view and perfect sound, making it an ideal spot for a date night or a relaxing evening out with friends. The space feels like an offshoot of the sister club next door, The Green Lady, with a very cool jazz setting. The stage is positioned in the middle of the main room, giving many tables a good view of the musicians, while there are also tables further in the back for a quieter conversation. The atmosphere is cozy and moody, perfect for enjoying live jazz and a laid-back night. The attentive staff adds to the experience, ensuring guests feel special during their visits. Cocktails are fantastic, especially a dirty martini, which has been praised as one of the best. Snacks like cheesecake are available, and the overall vibe is lively but relaxed. While it can get crowded, the excellent live jazz and the inviting environment make Black Dolphin a must-visit spot for a memorable night out.
