About

Bar: Beer & wine

Gates Bar-B-Q, a Kansas City mainstay since 1946, greets you with the smell of hickory as soon as you step in. This local chain brings a Cajun-Creole twist to its barbecue, offering a casual atmosphere with beer and wine. It's a late-night option too, staying open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

The East Side location sits between Virginia Ave and The Paseo. The vibe is no-frills and focused on the food. If you want to compare styles, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue is another KC classic worth trying.
