Best Gay & Lesbian Bars In Kansas City (LGBT Nightlife Guide)

Hey there everyone! If you are looking for info on the best gay and lesbian bars or clubs in Kansas City we have you fully covered. In this local LGBT nightlife guide we will also discuss topics like mixed clubs, trans bars, drag shows, the main queer area near you and more!

We will mention all of the best Kansas City LGBT pride events and meet ups for you to check out. Everyone reading this won’t like to do things the same way which is why we are trying to cover all the options so that you can go with whichever sounds best to you.

The KC lesbian and gay bars in your area are not the only way to meet new people these days though people in suburbs like Overland Park where they are not around may struggle to come up with any ideas without them nearby.

Oh ya, we have covered tons of cities in the Midwest if you want to see what else is out there.

Best Gay Bars & Clubs

We used to live in a world where most gay bars in Kansas City were only full of men looking for men near you to hook up with. Fortunately these days the lines have become a lot more blurred and most venues are more mixed LGBT style, and some are mixed gay and straight.

There will be plenty of men looking to hook up with other men in your area at the mixed venues we just listed.

Best Lesbian Bars & Clubs in Kansas City

The same can be said when it comes to trying to find a strictly lesbian bar in KC. Head to any of the bars or clubs from the mixed list and if there are not other local lesbian women looking to meet women inside then move on until you find the right hot spot for that evening.

Drag Shows & Trans Bars

While these are not exactly trans bars in Kansas City you can find drag shows that may help you locate ts near you at:

• Slay at Missie B’s on Sundays
• Hamburger Mary’s most nights

The thing is, we cover way too many cities and these scenes change all the time so we can’t be perfect. We know the scene here pretty well, but not as well as the local experts.

It would be super if you could let us know about any errors we made or if anything is out of date on this page in the comments section at the end. Also, if you think any venues should be listed as solely places for men to meet men or women to meet women fill us in, thanks.

Many of these gay or lesbian bars and clubs can be found in the LGBT nightlife area around Broadway in Westport. Go do your partying in that part of town and you will be able to check out the various venues and find out the right spots for your personal tastes.
