So tune up that old piano, deal the cards, and raise a glass to Johnnie. Our diverse selection of signature bourbons is a tribute to Johnnie, and we invite you to try one (or three) as you enjoy some live music, great food, and time with good friends. A prodigious bridge player who loved a good bourbon, Johnnie lived the life she wanted and enjoyed every second. She was the life of every party and was beloved by everyone she encountered. Johnnie would work at the theater her whole life, selling tickets and making friends with all who came to enjoy the magic of the movies. The culture of Kansas City jazz grew out of the late-night (and early morning) jam sessions that bar and nightclub owners used to provide music at a low cost to. would join forces with Sterling Bagby to formally create B&B Theatres. Smitten by her natural charm, love of life, and youthful exuberance, Elmer fell in love and the two married a few years later. With two stages, the weekend performances can alternate with almost no time between shows.Johnnie (so named, by the way, since her father had selected Johnny as a boy’s name, expecting his third child might break the tradition of daughters) was playing at The Lyric theater in Salisbury, Missouri when Elmer Bills bought the location in 1924. Check out the comprehensive calendar of local jazz at, and you’ll see that this town still swings every night of the week, from divey spots serving beer in red plastic cups to swanky spots where you’ll feel underdressed without a fresh shoe shine. The downstairs stage has more of a theatre presentation while the upstairs stage is in the middle of the guest seating. But Kansas City’s jazz scene is not a museum piece. Chandeliers provide the elegant lighting for this stone basement hideaway. This stage features a grand piano and a second house drum set. The lower level of the Green Lady Lounge is known as the Orion Room. Having the instruments always in place allows the bands to do their shows with a minimum of disruption to themselves and the patrons. A hammond B‑3 organ and a drum set take up residence on the main floor stage. The staff is dressed up in suits and ties and cocktail dresses. Entering the Green Lady Lounge is like stepping back in time into a real cocktail lounge, a retro cocktail lounge if you like. A TV would be very out of place in this elegant, yet casual environment. A variety of mid century hanging lamps light the bar … just barely. Open for lunch and dinner, M-Sat, 11am to 1:30 am.
