    Life is what you make it right? Well bring your own fun with you and then sit back and just people watch. The service and bartender were friendly. No food that I know of. As for the talent show, my grandma would say in this situation, "awe ... bless their soul". Interesting somewhat western, somewhat kitsch, with a couple deer heads thrown in. Just a little bit of a funky smell from years gone by.

    Poker Time!

    If I could give one bazillion stars, I would! (I think that's what the previous reviewer intended to say... I think she probably made a typo and left out the bazillion part...) Everybody at this bar is WELCOMING. I absolutely LOVE playing poker on Fridays. They also have darts, pool, and the fiercest of DRAG shows! So many FUN moments spent here. I'd HIGHLY recommend checking it out! Get ready to have your night amplified with EXTRA FUN at this amazing bar! Don't miss out on the electrifying atmosphere and fantastic entertainment. Join the party and create unforgettable memories! Sidekicks Saloon, of Kansas City, Missouri Share your own experiences and let us know how you enjoyed your time at this vibrant hotspot!

    Kansas City's Primer Gay Saloon and Dance Hall. Located in Midtown just a few minutes from downtown, this large bar has multiple drag shows, variety shows, sports games, dart leagues and blind draws. Late night weekend dancing. Cash bar with strong gay pours.

    I came here on a Friday night, being told that this was a "country gay bar." I must admit, I'm not a country fan, but I decided to go along with it. When we arrived, around 1:30 AM, I found the bar only moderately busy, and sans the promised country music. Instead of twang, I was greeted with a dance floor full of homos jamming out to some awesome 80s and 90s ballads. There were also new top 40-ish dance songs intertwined between the jams. Interesting, but fun nonetheless! Regarding the bar itself, I was pleasantly surprised. By this point in time, I had reached my blood alcohol saturation point, and was only ordering water. The bartender was so friendly and made sure to keep my lowly water glass filled. In fact, he was so nice, that I actually ended up tipping him more than I'd tip for alcoholic drinks! While I don't expect that I'd come here regularly, I did have a good time. It was certainly something out of my norm, but that can be a good thing! We didn't encounter a cover charge, so that's a bonus. You'll know you've found the bar when you find a building that looks like a cross between the Old West and a shade of lipstick which only a drag queen would wear!

    I haven't been here in years. Between the memories of the first time I was approached by a hooker and a partner that barked directions due to my poor two stepping ability, there was never a reason to rush back. I should have stuck to that thought pattern. Sidekicks isn't a bad place. If you like country music and an older crowd, this is the place to go. I felt a little too young to be there though, even with my quickly graying hair. The drinks were mixed well. Everyone was having a good time and there didn't seem to be any drama going on anywhere. Smoking is right outside the front door.

    A place for men who like men

    Side Kicks is a laid back place where everyone is welcome. It is a local hangout for people like me and people who like people like me. No pretense here.

    Rude bartenders, boring and smells like piss. Always slow but still expect to wait forever to get a drink. Pass.
