Nine Zero One Rooftop Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Kansas City

2025 Update: came to 901 for the restaurant week lunch menu! The steak wrap & squash bisque was tantalizing!!! The parm fries were a bit too dry. I don’t use ketchup but had to this time. The Red Kingdom drink was tasty! Just the right amount of sweet.

The view is the rooftops of the apartments. Being that it’s on the far side of the Plaza you won’t actually see much of the Plaza, if at all. Our waitress was excellent.

The fireplace sets off the environment. You can sit in a cozy booth on the other side of the glass.

The igloos were up & out! It is a $150 reserv to book the igloo for up to 8 people. The drinks & food are al a carte. The reservation is refunded. Check these out until March 2025!!

Would come back for the igloos & drinks on the way to a night out!!

Well isn’t this snazzy?! They igloos on top of the water. Now YOU can walk on water, for one night, for $50, & show friends! They have to pay too 😉 I stopped by to check out the igloos but they weren’t out yet. That was disappointing as I had been waiting since last year to see them.

They have log 🪵 cabins now also. One ‘glamping’ exp includes board games, interactive et, & outdoor fireplace. They all offer tasty bites, delicious cocktails, & photo ops!

Prices vary to reserve the ‘glamping exp’! Weekday & weekend prices range from $175-$325 (diff cabins hold certain amt of guests - visit their site for more info). Depending on how many people go, you can split that price up & still pay your light bill! These experiences are for 120 mins.

On to the igloos! There are options for the weekday or weekend with prices being $150 (2-8 guests) or $175 (2-9 guests). These experiences are decorated in three themes. You can choose small bites from one menu exclusively for the igloos AND cabins.

A few treasures in these igloos are festive decor, shot skis 🎿 (only in one), handcrafted cocktails, & photo ops! When you reserve any of these you can choose one complimentary non-alcoholic beverage. Tea or hot cocoa. Everything else you pay for & is not included in the rental fee.

The looks of everything at the bar was so cool! If you want to hang out in the bar area, happy hour is from 430p-6p. Plenty of seating whether in the igloos, (that are available through March) around the lower level across from the bar, & plush seating up top by the fireplace!

I have been to the restaurant upstairs & it was good food. We were surprised by the petite menu, but what we had satisfied our appetite. Unfortunately the bar was also closed so didn’t get a chance to try any libations or food. So can’t comment on the service or food quality.

I have stayed here before & will put all that!…in another review. This is a cool hip spot if you are on the plaza & want to check it out. Chill & have a drink with small bites or check out an igloo!!

I never leave reviews but the service was so terrible I just had to. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone even if it was free! They lack quality service! They did not live up to the hype of offering a unique experience. I was charged a reservation fee of $166.28 which is not included in drinks and food that were being ordered. My reservation was at 8:45. As soon as we are being seated the waiter begins rushing us to order because the kitchen closes at 9. Why are reservations being made that close to closing time?! We were completely unaware as there isn’t any mention online of what time the kitchen closes. That was the first strike.

Orders were incorrect. The waiter was obviously agitated and or tired. Instead of Aioli sauce we were given mayo, food completely bland and one order was completely forgotten. The waiters response was “either the kitchen didn’t make it or I forgot to put it in but either way there is nothing I can do about that since the kitchen is closed and all of the cooks have left”! Second strike.

We proceeded to ask for the manager and he gave nothing but excuses and blamed the previous manager for how trash their service and experience is. Agreeing with our concerns but never offered a solution besides a classless offer of free drinks that we could have stayed home and drank! Without us asking for a refund we probably wouldn’t have gotten it! So that’s 3 strikes and they’re out!

It was a terrible way to celebrate my 29th bday. I was so unsatisfied I left without eating or drinking a thing. I will NOT be coming back!

Trash!...

My girlfriends and I were very disappointed in the experience - we arrived right on time since the site tells you they’ll give your res away if you’re 10 mins late. Then had to wait 35 minutes past our res time to be seated at our igloo (they said just had to ‘clean it up’). Watched about 5 parties get seated in their igloos ahead of us. Ok, fine; we weren’t privy to the seating approach.

But when we got in, it smelled a little like… vomit? I wish I was kidding. Super cute interior though, with cozy blankets and fireplace. Wouldn’t be that comfortable for more than 4 people. But yeah, we weren’t sure if the delay was bc they literally seated us in an igloo someone had thrown up in. Very unfortunate.

Food was underwhelming, we got burrata (good), crispy shrimp (pretty good) and lobster rolls (not good - odd flavor). S’mores for dessert were very dry.

Service was fine, they seem a little scrambled with we assumed was from the industry-wide staffing challenges, so I don’t want to ding them for that. But they did overcharge us by 5 (!) pumpkin martinis (our bill said we had 9 total - lol) on our final bill, we asked to have it corrected, then still overcharged us by 1 again. Also, their ‘well’ cocktails will not be ‘well’ - my tequila with lime was still $15, more than some of their speciality cocktails.

Not one to leave reviews often. But a very disappointing experience given we each paid $50 a person just to be in there. Would not recommend; maybe check out the other igloo offering in...
