Located in Kansas City’s Historic 18th and Vine Historic District, the Blue Room is part jazz club and part museum. Part of the adjoining American Jazz Museum, the venue features a mixture of local, home-grown musicians and national headliners fill the stage six days a week. No smoking and no food service, but, fortunately, one can find several good soul food and cajun restaurants nearby, if you’re interested in grabbing a bite to eat either before or after performances. The Negro League Baseball Museum and historic Gem Theatre is also within easy walking distance.
