Balanca's is only a gay bar if that is all you are willing to see. But if you throw the mind open a little bit, it becomes a whole lot more. Swinger couples mingle peacefully (most of the time) with gays and lesbians. The dance floor is full of wildish and stylish revelers of all kinds. The live music performances keep the basement hopping. Balanca's can even pass for a sports bar, with plenty of TV's trained on pro and college athletics. And the food is worth the trip itself. So the chance of you feeling out of place in a bar this unique has everything to do with you. If you're coming to judge, expect the same. If you're coming to enjoy a lifestyle bar with all the amenities, you can expect a fun crowd that is willing to take you in. But don't always expect a packed house. Like most bars in KC, this joint's attendance can ebb and flow. But when it flows, expect to get caught up in the fun. -- Michael Humphrey
