This is my home bar! 💚 they welcomed me the moment I moved to Kansas City and I have made a little family there. The drinks are the cheapest in the Kansas City area and they have HEAVY hands when pouring that alcohol! $2 vodka lemonades are gonna make an alcoholic out of me I swear 🤪 not really haha. They have nights where it’s packed out if you like that and they also have nights where it’s just you and a few others. So if you don’t like large crowds you can find some peace here or if you do like large crowds Saturday Latino night is a hit! They have Dart tournaments and a beautiful pool table! The outside patio has been updated and you can now safely smoke and drink while keeping an eye on the parking lot if you need to! They have consistent hours of operation and decent music! Sending my love to the sidekicks family!
Best bar Ive been to in awhile. I loved the energy, and everyone there was so amazing.
Always love going in and seeing the people! I love Butt wiser’s show on Wednesday nights!
Not bad prices friendly people and nice outside seating area to hang out.
This place sure has grown on me over the last month. I keep finding myself drawn to hang out with a drink and my laptop on my off days because of the welcoming atmosphere. The bartenders are great, the establishment is clean, the other patrons are friendly. If you happen to catch one of the shows in the evenings, you wont regret it. They are a blast! Buddy also just had big screen TVs installed for the football games, so now you can watch from anywhere in joint and have a good seat!
Great little dive bar that is LGTBQ friendly and hosts regular drag shows that are open to the public and free to attend. I like to go to the Schatzie Show on Thursday nights at 9pm. Schatzie, Mora Reign, Amy Luck, and Sasha Blake all perform regularly. It’s a lot of fun and the crowd is very supportive.
I came here after seeing event fliers posted out around KC. I arrive and it’s $10 a person to enter, which was not mentioned on their flier. I was excited about the event but nowhere in KC is charging a ten dollar cover. Ended up going home instead of paying.
What a GREAT experience. The bar staff is AMAZING!! Great prices. The place is obviously treated with love and respect. I Love the Drag shows and wide variety of entertainers. Shoot some darts bring a friend or 70 there is plenty of room and atmosphere. Buddy Belle Taylor/Starr is the owner and will become your FRIEND immediately.I highly recommend you come and enjoy when you visit Kansas City Mo.
Love this bar. Its always a good pit stop on my trip home to see family.Update: Stopped in Saturday night and had great time. Everyone was very friendly and the beer was flowing.
Love the family atmosphere for all LGBTQ community and an amazing new DJ on Friday nights for dancing. This place also holds the longest running, mainly drag king show, in the mid-west of almost 16 years. This show comes with the most amazing emcee I have ever seen on their Wednesday night drag show. Only time there is a cover charge is on Saturday night if you come in after 10pm. It is a 21+ bar with a wide variety different drag shows throughout the week.
I had been here before with a big group and had a nice bartender and had a great time... this time i went with a smaller group and it was horrible. Bartenders were rude. They ignored the women in my group but helped the men that walked up right away. The drink prices are crazy. $2 for a coke and no refills. The queens were cool to see and we like going somewhere LGBT but i dont know if it was worth how we were treated.
This was my first bar I went too after I turned 21, now it’s like the only place I go! I love going to sidekicks, buddy is amazing and such a great person!! the atmosphere is very laid back and chill it’s a great place to just go and relax after a long day the Thursday and Friday night shows are amazing also if u havnt seen it check it out!!!
I think that bar is great. The owner is nice and so does the employees right. Two kisses and a big hello!
We had a Great time... the Floor Show was Awesone as Always. Great Atmosphere & loads of fun.... the Gals were all extremely Talented.... Belle Star was Completely Captivating & so Amazinh to Watch.
Love this place! Mari Stone is my Drag Queen rockstar,makes her momma proud!! Come see her on Thursday nights ..show starts at 10pm...K.Cs Got Talent with the Hostess with the Mostest Sasha Blake!!! Bring your talents and show KC or bring your $$s and support your local Drag Queens!
Friendly staff great cheap drinks. My second time there. I will definitely be back. The owner was sitting at the bar scowling. Dont know what that was about but it was fun.
This place is great! They have drink specials and an amazing DJ on Fri nights! There are also some really good drag shows here.
Sidekicks Saloon is one of my favorite Bars in the Kansas City, Missouri Metro area. Its a Bar that Welcomes Everybody, its also a Bar for the LGBT COMMUNITY, they have wonderful Staff, Ive known the owner Robert Buddy Taylor for the last 25 Years. My favorite Bartenders are Joe Fork, Tony Lear, Javier Gonzalez. They open up at 1pm till 3am. Drink speals from 1pm till 8pm Well Drinks are $2 and they Free Pour Never using Jiggers, 7 days a week. They have 2 Front Bars, and 1 Back Bar, where the Dance floor is. Kareoke Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday,Drag Queen show on Friday night, Latino Drag Queen Show on Saturday night, Drag King Show also known as the Buttwiser Bash. Several Beer Busts (All you can drink Beer for 4 hours). They have a pool table, Bar games, Several Dart Boards. Several Televisions for watching Sports games.
The place is absolutely local, endearing & fun! The prices are right. The KJ, Chad is a hottie & has a pretty impressive catalog and personality. A good time all around!
It wasnt terribly busy, but it was probably a typical crowd for a weeknight. The drag show wasnt very well organized, but some of the queens definitely gave it their all.
I always have a great time at sidekicks. Staff is very professional and friendly and the shows are a blast! Buddy the owner is very active and supportive in the community. Great happy hour and specials!
The owner and staff are great. They treat you well and have great drinks and great company to. You couldnt ask for anything better than them. Thanks to you all.
I love this place. Very comfortable and I like the fact that its a smaller venue
Cheap drink specials, ridiculous number of flavored vodkas to choose from if you want, $1/game pool table, friendly bar tenders. Decor could be updated a bit, but Id probably go again.
Fun gay bar, games, great patio. Great place for a relaxing drink and a good time. Staff is very friendly. Stop in for a drink and play some darts. Always a good time.
Best gay bar in town, by far. Low key and casual. Drag shows Wednesday and Saturday nights and karaoke on Tuesdays and Sundays.
If country-themed gay bars are your thing, youll probably love it. Its dark and dank, but the karaoke attracts a small crowd.
Fun country western themed gay bar with latino night on saturdays. Drag shows on wed fri and sat. Drink specials all week long.
A place for everyone. Buddy and the staff always make everyone feel welcomed! Great drinks and always a good time!!!
Buddy and his staff never fail to make guests feel welcome and even more amazing, they host holiday dinners for folk that cant or arent welcome at home during the holidays.
What a great place to sit and knock a few back with friends. One of the friendliest staffs in town and there is never a dull moment when their fearless leader is around.
Friendly people, low priced drinks and plenty of bar games. Amazing spot to have for the LGBTQIA community!
Friendly people. My partner and I go there every Friday! Happy hour is the best.
Becky freeman sells Marijuana edible and productsIllegally at side kicks, sold me bad cookies. I paid 50.00
Best bar in KC!
I ordered a tequila sunrise and the glass tasted like wet rag. Got sick and Im not coming back.
It stinks 😷 in that place! And the people seams to be a little racist with comments they make and think 🤔 it’s okay because they cater to a couple minorities.
Its a really chill atmosphere and theres a drag show every Wednesday
Great chill place. Cheap drinks. Fun place to play darts or pool.
Great Staff, Very Attentive, Wholesome crowd that Excepts everyone either in the LGBTQ Community or not.
