“With everything we do at Palm Tree Crew, our goal is to gather people together for unique and entertaining experiences,” said Myles Shear, co-founder of Palm Tree Crew. “We are so excited to bring our Palm Tree Club restaurant and lounge to Kansas City to do exactly that and are lucky to be collaborating again with Live! Hospitality & Entertainment to do so. We can’t wait for the community to enjoy this one-of-a-kind hospitality experience.”
Developed under the leadership of Chef Joe Shirley, a nationally recognized culinary innovator and proud Kansas Citian, the coastal vibe dining venue will offer guests an elevated menu with items such as Hamachi Carpaccio, A5 Wagyu Dumplings, Burnt End Bao Buns, and Octopus Yakitori; a selection of Sushi and Nigiri; and a refined innovative take on familiar favorites such as fresh seafood, hand-made pastas, and exotic desserts like the Dubai Chocolate Tiramisu. Handcrafted signature cocktails by expert mixologists will offer an irresistible blend of flavors to complement the menu, including a signature Smoked Caribbean Old Fashioned poured tableside, Espresso Martini flight, a “Firestone” cocktail, and more, along with high-end specialties including the Gold Dusted Cristalino Margarita and Caviar Martini. Dynamic celebratory experiences like premium champagne service will elevate the party, while exclusive VIP lounges provide a private oasis for intimate gatherings.
Coming off the heels of the Palm Tree Beach Club Las Vegas opening in May, Palm Tree Club Kansas City marks the next chapter in rapid growth of the country’s hottest vibe dining and nightlife concept, which debuted last year with its first two locations in Orlando and Miami, Florida. Palm Tree Club venues across the country have become go-to destinations for high-profile guests and cultural tastemakers, attracting names like Patrick Schwarzenegger, Kendall Jenner, Jessica Alba, and Alix Earle. Known for their effortlessly cool atmosphere and visually striking design, each location blends laid-back luxury with moments made for sharing. Palm Tree Club Kansas City continues that momentum with a space designed to offer one of the city’s most buzzworthy new destinations.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Live! Hospitality & Entertainment and open a new Palm Tree Club concept on September 12,” said Michael Diaz, CEO of Palm Tree Crew. “Building off of the success we’ve had together with Palm Tree Club Orlando, we look forward to entering the energetic Kansas City market with our Crew and the Live! team next month.”
Designed by nationally renowned Beth Bloom Designs, the 11,000-square-foot, two-level space will merge Palm Tree Crew’s unique brand of luxury experiences and live entertainment with Kansas City’s vibrant energy to create an elevated, playful atmosphere, innovative food and drink, and world-class music curated by DJ Kygo. Neutral tones, natural textures and lush greenery will create an easy-going, elegant design, while state-of-the-art AV will create a fully immersive tropical atmosphere for an afternoon lunch with friends or colleagues, dinner with extended family, or a VIP celebration late into the evening.
On the first level, a custom main bar and collection of plush booths and banquettes will allow guests to comfortably indulge in handcrafted food and drinks. An elevated DJ booth just off the main floor will feature a private, VIP seating area, as flexible seating arrangements in the heart of the room will create a dynamic space that can easily be transformed into a buzzing dance floor. Upstairs, the exclusive rooftop lounge will offer an unparalleled nightlife experience unlike anywhere else in downtown Kansas City with panoramic views and high-energy performances from world-class DJs. The rooftop will feature a photo-worthy illuminated tree at its focal point, complete with theatrical lighting and a 100” television.
“Palm Tree Crew is a leader in creating world-class hospitality and live entertainment experiences and we are thrilled to have them open in the Power & Light District next month,” said John Moncke, President of the Power & Light District. “The fact that Kansas City was selected to follow Orlando, Miami and Las Vegas is a testament to the energy and vitality of our great city and appeal of the Power & Light District. Palm Tree Club will bring an amazing new restaurant and rooftop lounge to the District that will complement our best-in-class mix of dining, entertainment, residential, and coworking venues.”
The Power & Light District continued its impressive trajectory, drawing millions of visitors each year and welcoming hundreds of new residents with the opening of Midland Lofts – the fourth residential building in the District. Palm Tree Club’s opening adds to the Power & Light District’s exciting momentum, which includes the recent openings of Besos y Abrazos, The Yard Milkshake Bar, Tropical Smoothie Café, and a $2.5 million renovation of Mosaic, as well as a recently announced luxury wellness studio, SweatHouz.
Palm Tree Club Kansas City is located at 14 E. 14th St. in downtown Kansas City, MO. For more information, please visit palmtreeclubkc.com and follow on Instagram and Facebook @palmtreeclubkc.
