Kansas City, Missouri
Gay dive bar in Midtown KC with a Party Patio, open from 10am daily
Sidestreet Bar is a long-running gay dive in Midtown Kansas City that opens early and trades on being exactly what it is: cash-only, cheap, stiff pours, and no pretense. The signature is the 'Party Patio,' a tiered deck added in 2016 that gives the place a backyard-BBQ feel on a warm afternoon. Inside, it's built for low-key competition: four electronic dart boards with blind-draw tournaments on weekends, plus a pool table and a jukebox. There's no kitchen, but the bar happily lets you order delivery from nearby restaurants straight to your table. It's a neighborhood fixture rather than a destination club — the spot for a long, unhurried afternoon or an easy weeknight, a few minutes from the Main Street and Broadway bars.
