Really appreciate the weekend floating hours. It's a treat to have somewhere to grab a nice cup of tea, listen to good music, and not be surrounded by laptops!

this place had such a cozy wind down vibe, perfect for a night cap or post dinner drink! they have a beautiful bar filled with records, jazzy music, and a bunch of 4 person tables inside. outside they have heaters and benches or tables and are able to seat a larger party. we arrived around 8ish on a saturday night and it was packeddd. unfortunately they don't take reservations so the inside tables and outside tables were all in use when our party of 5 arrived. they were able to seat us at the outdoor fire area though. it was a chillier night so we sat pretty close to the fire and it was pretty smoky. they did provide a blanket outside though! although we were seated basically completely away from the other tables and people, the servers were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. we ordered the dirty martini, all night company (banana espresso martini), femme fatal and the hoshi zora (the lavender matcha drink). the Hoshi Zora was my favorite! very smooth and despite the lack of color it has very good flavor, a little more expensive than i was expecting for the size of drink you get but i liked the vibes enough i would come back for special occasions.

Nice atmosphere. Too busy for good customer service. Food was pretty basic but that's likely not the reason you go to a place like this.

Super vibey small neighborhood bar that plays cool albums and focuses on Japanese inspired food and drinks. They also have an outdoor area however we visited in the winter so didn’t get to ck that out. PROTIP: take your drink to the bathroom and make use of the toilet seat experience 😉.

Such a unique experience as a first-time visitor, and I already can’t wait to come back! It’s a very different vibe if you’re tired of the same bar scene on repeat. Also, the staff is amazing and so attentive! I’m obsessed and will recommend to family and friends! 🤩

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.

Loved everything about this place. Drinks were perfect good was awesome.
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.
