Gay Bars in Kansas City, MO

“Just had one of those nights where everything came together at Gael’s Public House.
The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming.
The food was next level. You can tell it’s made fresh with real flavor. Every bite hit just right.
The vibe was exactly what I needed. Good music, perfect lighting, and the patio was so relaxing.
Definitely coming back soon.“

“A fun little dive gay bar. The decor is dated- showing its history if you take the time to look around. They have a dedicated dance floor and enclosed smoking patio. There is a second bar that opens on busy nights by the dance floor, a pool table for slower nights, and lots of dart boards for either. Bartenders are personable, owner is present often, and the music varies depending on the crowd.“

“Vegetarian options: There were plenty of vegetarians there.

Dietary restrictions: If you aren't into someone just don't put them in your mouth.

Parking: Cars go in parking spots.

Kid-friendliness: No one here is kid friendly. You should have had an abortion.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“I went to SideStreet last night, for my first visit. It's probably the friendliest LGBTQ+ establishment in town. All ages, sizes, shades, types, etc. I could walk up to any person or group and feel welcome.“

“I came, I made a request for a song for karaoke night at Missie B's in Kansas City, Missouri, it's a gay bar. I waited almost two hours. I was invisible. At the end of the night I asked her to take my name off the list. My Uber arrived. The karaoke DJ sang three times after I made my request. I was the only Latino who asked to sing at an otherwise empty bar. Latinos are invisible in Kansas City, I guess. But being shamed by a fellow black person was too much. Dorian kicked me out. I'm also black. He threatened to call the cops on me, after explaining why I felt unseen. As an attorney who is black and Latino that was deeply offensive. As a visitor from out of town, I have never been made to feel so unwelcome. I will never come back here again. If you know me you know me. Dorian calls the cops on Latinos. We are not seen here and we are not welcome. Even when we are educated and come with grace and respect.“
