Lance Pierce of Queer Bar Takeover joins Ashley and Hailee Behind the Bar!

Lance Pierce, founder of Queer Bar Takeover, started the effort based on a passionate desire for Kansas City LGBTQ+ individuals to unite – and to create a sense of community and belonging for everyone within this group who may have felt excluded in the past.

Now, 8 years later, Queer Bar Takeover is officially opening its own brick-and-mortar location in Westport! On this episode of Behind the Bar, Lance sits down with Ashley and Hailee to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the motivation for and the creation of Q Kansas City.

From deep discussions of fostering cultural change in the incredibly diverse LGBTQ+ community of Kansas City to an instructional fan “thwop” lesson, this episode of Behind the Bar definitely has something for everyone – and definitely has BTB hyped for the opening of KC’s newest queer bar in early 2025!
