Hey Ernie I want to apologize for my behavior last night ;'I'm truly both embarrassing and ashamed of my self - you don't have to allow me back in- but I just want to apologize- I'm not sure what got into me - you know I'm not a " trouble maker " On the other hand - I guess I'm very disturbed that I've had a second incident at SS; three weeks ago I believe I was drugged or something close to it ; i got on a wreck 10 mins after leaving SS- I wasn't 100% sure more like 99% but now that John and Raymond were also victims - it confirms my suspicions of being drugged w my drink that night - I should of brought it to your attention earlier but like I said I wasn't 100% sure Yes I agree I should pay close attention to my drink but nevertheless- " most of us" have a second family at SS so being on the lookout for suspicious behavior is not first nature I hope you can forgive me Have a nice day

Stopped in on Christmas Eve. Everyone was friendly, and the drinks were reasonable. Nice atmosphere. We will stop in again on our next trip home.

Side Street is a laidback neighborhood dive bar which caters to the LGBTQ+ community. It's nestled in an unassuming building near Costco. It could easily be missed if you didn't know what you were looking for. I've been in here a few times and it's usually busy. They have darts and a great patio scene out back. The inside itself isn't very big, but there are plenty of tables and chairs in both covered and uncovered areas to choose from. There can be a bit of a line for drinks, but the bartenders are fast and efficient. Drinks are super cheap compared to other bars in the area. Of note, it's cash only, so stop by the ATM before you it it up.

This place literally has cameras in their bathroom. Do not come here.

I am and older guy Nearly 60 My friends pointed out that the crackers had gone bad. He attacked me saying whats your problem. I said no problem but my group feels there is something wrong with the crackers. I was polite the entire time. It was no big deal. He threatened to throw me out. I politely said its no pry. I finished my drink then quietly left. I will never give them business again I have heard in the community this guy is vicious and treats everyone terrible Ill never go back. Im a nice guy and never been treated so poorly don't go here.
Bird Two Feathers
Absolutely unacceptable community space, totally unsafe, disrespectful and humiliating. Dangerous for MTF. Alligns with abusers and dangerous people in the community. Have been drugged here. Have been publically humiliated by staff. They all owe me an apology big time. I hate Sidestreet KC- they betrayed me on every level and I will never ever go there again.

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 miss this bar. We always went to play darts. Great place and super friendly. We moved to Lake of the Ozarks. If it wasn't so expensive we might move back.

Don't go here if you're a girl with a purse, it will be stolen. Unfortunately, bad people exist in this world and like to hang out here.

The best dive in KC. Great staff and customers. Drink prices are nice as well.

Outdoor area is great. Fun place to play games. Cheap and strong drinks. Definitely the place you get the most for your money. Laid back. Cash only is a pain, but if it keeps the drinks cheap then why not.

I went to sidestreet bar crossdressed for my first time dressed in public after a life of dreaming about it. I was super nervous going out dressed for my first time. Truly wish I had someone to go with me. After the owner answered my question if it was crossdresser friendly I decided to brave it. I could not have felt more comfortable in this bar. Thanks for giving me the courage and making me feel comfortable. I plan on going again.
Perfect spot for a gay man to make new friends ?
