An intimate, authentic jazz club, Kansas City style, that is elegant yet approachable, for lovers of jazz and for those looking for a great place to just hang out with incredible music. Ted's Taproom is an ideal venue of scale and size for those who want to intently listen to jazz and for those who just want great background music and drinks. Live music is planned Tuesday through Sunday nights with jazz related events, videos, and opportunities incorporated into the downtime. The goal has always been to expand downtown Kansas City's live jazz options for those to sink their eyes, ears and souls into the music that made this city and served as the backbone for the future of jazz, blues, and rock 'n' roll.
