Went there with my wife and had a wonderful time. It’s easy to get caught up in the music, and spend time just listening.

One of my favorite spots for drinks and snacks in Kansas City. The service is excellent. The drinks are excellent; they offer a wide variety of cocktails, highballs, and wine. Even the na options are thoughtfully curated. For food, I personally love the tinned fish tuna belly, but the pickles are not to be missed. They recently opened the patio which is cozy and quaint. Will always come back to xo! <3

If I could come to this low-fi spot every night, I would. It is warm, inviting, and cozy, with some of the best music I have ever heard in a restaurant/bar. The vibe makes you want to linger, and the creativity they put into their cocktails shows in every glass.
They also have a menu that looked tempting, though I did not get to try it this time. I did have their Chocolate and Black Sesame Sandwich, and it was a quiet showstopper. The sprinkle of salt on top was just enough to make the flavors pop in the most satisfying way.
Simple, but done with care.

We loved our time at XO — the bartender serves up fabulous, creative cocktails, while spinning amazing vinyl. The space is gorgeous — the vibe is chill, the lights low making for a romantic atmosphere. It feels a bit like a modern speakeasy. We didn’t eat — we went to La Bodega before because XO’s Japanese inspired small plates weren’t what we were in the mood for.

Such a great bar. Amazing atmosphere and drinks. I really enjoyed their sandwiches too when they first had them and hope they find a way of bringing them back. Service is also great.

Runs insane vibes that teleport you to omotesando / daikan-Yama. Wow.

I found this place through a KC magazine that listed it as a top sandwich spot. Turns out, they no longer serve sandwiches—just bar snacks now.
The cocktails were solid, so it’s fine if you’re just stopping in for a drink. That said, the lack of a posted menu, inconsistent hours between Google and their website, and no option for reservations makes planning a visit a bit of a gamble.

My husband and I are l fans of Japanese culture and the simplicity that surrounds it. We were happy to have taken the opportunity to try. XO HiFi. We appreciated the intimate nature of the cocktail bar, the retro speakers and simple Japanese touches throughout the space. Even if it’s not necessary, make a trip to the restrooms. We were impressed with the service, the well-crafted drinks and the music playing in the background. We arrived early, but by the time we left, the bar was full. We commented to each other that we would come back and bring out of town, guests and friends.
What a great spot. Drinks are fantastic and only outdone by the atmosphere. Cozy and relaxing with great music setting the mood.

I would love to experience this place in the daytime! Me and my friends visited Friday evening around 10pm and this is a sit down bar. We all ordered drinks and some food and overall, if you like “stronger” tasting drinks, i recommend coming here. The drink selection is fairly decent and they can make you just about anything you’d like.
Although the music was slightly louder than i anticipated it to be. If they could maybe try turning down the music a little, just so that people can hear each other have a conversation…. That’d be great! Since it is a “lounge” type of environment.
Overall 7/10 experience.
