The Store
Bars · Wichita, KS
About
The patio is bigger than the inside here, a surprising feature for a neighborhood bar. The Store is known in Wichita as a place that leans heavily toward a lesbian crowd, though the mixed LGBTQ+ tag says everyone is welcome. A pool table and outdoor seating with plants and knick-knacks give it a relaxed, low-key feel.
Reviews are split: some visitors report an unwelcoming vibe for gay men, while others say it's friendly if you check your attitude at the door. The crowd tends toward 30s and 40s. It opens at 2pm daily and stays open until 2am.

“Great place”
Nice to be back from Atlanta and find such a great bar—the staff is awesome and the crowd is relaxed and fun.

“You can tell they take pride in their place :) fun, nice friendly!”
Looked well-kept with a nice outdoor area full of plants and knick-knacks. More of a lesbian spot, but it was fun and had no attitude, which was great. A bit off the beaten path, but I didn't feel unsafe—there's a McDonald's next door.

“Ladies First”
It's great that Wichita has a place focused more on the lesbian crowd, but gay guys shouldn't let that stop them from checking it out. There are always some other guys there, and The Store is just a great place to hang out, especially if you need a break from the usual and still want some fun. Give it a try!

“RUDE!”
The best thing about this place is the patio, which is bigger than the inside. The bartender in the photo doesn't even work there—he works at another gay bar. This is mostly a lesbian bar, which is cool, but in this day and age we don't need so much segregation or stares when a guy walks in. It's almost like you walked in on your mom in the shower if a guy comes in. Not friendly at all unless maybe you are the owner's current girlfriend.
