Sidestreet Bar and Grill stands as one of Kansas City's oldest gay bars, a cash-only dive bar near the Midtown gay scene with one of the best outdoor patios in the city. Four electronic dart boards invite casual play or blind draw tournaments during the weekend, while four flat-screen TVs broadcast basketball, NFL, college football, and NASCAR. The party patio bar extends the fun into the open air. This is authentic neighborhood gay culture, where community ties run deep and everyone gets a warm welcome. Open seven days a week, Sidestreet remains a cornerstone of Kansas City's LGBTQIA+ nightlife.
