Q Kansas City Grand Opening on Valentine’s Day Brings a Bold New Space for Queer Joy & Community
KANSAS CITY, MO — February 4, 2025 — Kansas City is about to welcome Q Kansas City, a brand-new LGBTQ+ nightclub, marking a historic moment for the city’s queer community. Opening on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025, Q Kansas City will be a permanent home for LGBTQ+ nightlife, celebration, and connection in the heart of Westport.
For the past eight years, the team behind Queer Bar Takeover has transformed straight venues into queer spaces for one night at a time. Now, they’re taking a permanent place in Kansas City’s oldest entertainment district, creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming space for queer joy to thrive.
“This is more than just a nightclub—it’s a testament to the strength of our community and the progress we’ve made in Kansas City,” said Lance Pierce, Founder of Q Kansas City. “We’re proud to finally have a space that is ours, where people can gather, connect, and truly belong.”

Why This Matters for Kansas City
Kansas City has long been home to a vibrant and resilient LGBTQ+ community. The opening of Q Kansas City represents a major step forward for inclusivity in the city’s nightlife scene, providing a space where queer people don’t just survive—they thrive.
In 2024 alone, Missouri lawmakers introduced 47 anti-LGBTQ+ bills, many targeting trans rights, healthcare, and education. The opening of Q Kansas City sends a powerful message: queer people belong here, and their joy is unstoppable.
“This club is a reflection of our past, our present, and our future,” said Pierce. “We honor those who paved the way, and we’re building something that will stand for generations to come.”
