Bar Phoebe, a new rooftop bar in Kansas City, aims to blend modern aesthetics with vintage charm, drawing inspiration from the Midwestern summer vibe. Located in the Holtman building at 18th and Holmes streets, it is set to open in late May or early June 2024. Creative director Victoria George describes it as a place that embodies the spirit of Midwestern bars, featuring elements such as cherry red Cadillacs, checkered floors, and jukeboxes. The bar is named after Phoebe Jane Ess, a women’s suffragette known for her social spirit, reflecting the venue's goal of inclusivity. The menu promises familiar Midwestern dishes with inventive twists, including what George claims will be “the best burger in Kansas City.” The Holtman building, originally constructed in 1918, is undergoing redevelopment by Molzer Development, which is also transforming the historic Aladdin Hotel into residential units. Bar Phoebe is envisioned as a welcoming space for all Kansas Citians, whether for casual gatherings or special occasions.
