2026-02-18 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Bistro 303, 303 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
As many of you know, Bistro 303 has been a long-time, gay owned and operated bar and restaurant in Westport. The food (French Bistro-esque) and drinks are good, waiters can be both cute and friendly and it’s a great low key, relaxed vibe. Perfect for relaxing with PTKC pals. You’ll enjoy it. We have for years so join us!
Oh, and bring some of their famous fried chicken home for Vinnie. Gotta keep the guy happy!

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-02-20 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-02-27 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-03-06 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-03-13 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-03-20 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
Ah, the appeal of Pegah’s in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I’m lookin’ at you, Denny’s!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, “Hey old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Thanks, guys.

PTKC Mixer - At Missie B's & Dinner
2026-02-20 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-02-27 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-03-06 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-03-13 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-03-20 17:00 - 18:30 | Missie B’s, 805 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
30 years ago, Missie B’s opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it’s become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It’s not just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT’ers to celebrate the end of the week and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Let’s stay healthy together. Thank you.

Potluck @ The Homes
2026-02-21 17:00 - 19:00 | The Homes, Inc. – Clubhouse, 660 Manorcrest Dr, Kansas City, KS, 66101, United States
Now The Homes is a really cool and interesting place. It’s of WWII vintage and was built to provide living spaces for the enormous number of people who worked at the plants and businesses providing equipment for the war. Plus, there’s plenty of space for us to spread out and and, better yet, the inimitable Jim Reed is hosting! Plus there’s more! We’re servin’ up BBQ as our main course, so start thinking about side dishes, salads, veggies and, of course, desserts!
As always, guys, stay tuned for the Punch Bowl invite with all the details and the “what ‘cha bringing to eat?” sign up list.
Remember, fellas. Cold and flu season is upon us so let’s stay healthy and keep our friend, Vinnie The PTKC Vaccine Fairy, happy! Thanks, guys.

Wow! Did you know that Beer Kitchen has a Happy Hour menu EVERY DAY from 3-6 PM?! Great prices on drinks, wine, beer (of course) and assorted stuff to nibble! Still hungry? Beer Kitchen offers an extensive dinner menu, too. Plus, you really cannot argue with a restaurant that boasts with some bravado, “Honest Food, Damn Good Beer!”
So, join us at Beer Kitchen with your assorted PTKC pals! Just don’t forget to get a couple of arm jabs and stay healthy!

Coffee Talk at Denny's

Okay. So, by now you might know that Denny’s is closing many restaurants nationwide. But how do WE respond to this outrage? “HELL NO, WE WON’T GO! HELL NO, WE WON’T GO!” So, be sure to join us at 105th and Metcalf with your fellow PTKC rebels! The food is fine, prices are reasonable, the coffee is hot and there’s a bunch of guys talkin’ away like crazy! Plus I finally subscribed to AARP so I get a discount! Nothing is sacred here so come and enjoy yourselves.
Oh, last thing. Cold and flu season is upon us. Guys, please make sure you’re current with vaccines. Don’t make me sic Vinnie, our Vaccine Fairy, on ‘ya!
See you there!

Hump Day Dinner @ Jerusalem Cafe in Mission
2026-02-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Dinner at Jerusalem Cafe in Mission, 6029 Metcalf Ave, Mission, KS, 66202, United States
Hey, have you guys seen those new flicks about Greek mythology? You really ody-ssey them! Okay, okay. So that joke didn’t land. My Apollo-gies. 😀
So enough with the awful quips. Let’s move on to Hump Day Dinner because you’re all pretty Zeus-less without me (sorry – had to get one more in there). Of course, we’re talkin’ Jerusalem Cafe in Mission for our collective dining pleasure. The selection of Greek and Middle Eastern dishes is extensive and the portions are plentiful. Besides, it’s pretty healthy and tasty stuff!
So, punch “nαι, θα είμαι εκεί!” (yes, I’ll be there!) when the Punchbowl invite hits your email! And, of course, stay healthy fellas!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Hawg Jaw Que & Brew in North KC
2026-03-02 17:00 - 19:00 | Hawg Jaw Que & Brew, 900 Swift Street, North Kansas City, MO, 64116, United States
Slow cooked, cherry wood smoked BBQ in North Kansas City. Family owned and always fresh and made to order. Fellas, c’mon! Need you know more? I mean it’s…..
BARBECUE!!
So, strap in ’cause we’re eatin’ da’ meat tonight. Join us! (Oh and stay healthy please, guys. Vinnie our Vaccine Fairy loves BBQ, too!)

Hump Day Dinner @ Vivelore in Independence
2026-03-04 19:00 - 21:00 | Vivelore, 10815 Winner Road, Independence, MO, 64052, United States
Sometimes you just need to be refined and classy. I know what you’re thinkin’ but we can do it! Vivilore is a wonderful first date or romantic evening out locale. Does that mean that a collective bunch of PTKC men can’t have a great time there? Not at all!
Located in the heart of the historic Englewood Arts District in Independence, “Vivilore” comes from Latin; viva means life and lore means story — life story. The menu is beautifully crafted and very sophisticated. Take a moment and peruse their cuisine. Now be warned, no prices are listed. This place is not inexpensive. But every now and then we should indulge ourselves just a bit. Vivilore is the place to do that and exploring our own, unique “life stories” together is what makes Prime Timers so special. You’ll just sacrifice next month’s mortgage payment in doing so.
Oh, c’mon! I was getting entirely too sappy and some wry sarcasm was called for! Guys, just join us!

Happy Hour Dinner @ The Granfalloon on The Plaza
2026-03-09 17:00 - 19:00 | The Granfalloon, 608 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO, 64112, United States
Okay, now I bet you didn’t know this. A “granfalloon” is a proud and meaningless association of human beings. Now if that doesn’t describe my fellow PTKC’ers I don’t know what does! Plus, it’s from a novel by Kurt Vonnegut which makes it even better. 🙂
The Granfalloon has a really good menu rife with a wide assortment of tasty choices and their cocktails and beer selections are equally appealing. You’ll like this place!
So, assorted proud and meaningless members! Keep it healthy and join us!

Hump Day Dinner @ Swagat Indian Restaurant
2026-03-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Swagat Indian Restaurant, 7407 NW 87th Street, Kansas City, MO, 64153, United States
Now I love Swagat’s online ad copy: Where Every Visit Feels Like A Grand Indian Welcome. “Swagat” [pronounced swah-gut] is a Sanskrit word that expresses joy in welcoming guests and for over two decades, they’ve been bringing that warmth to Kansas City. Their menu is extensive and brimming with classic Indian cuisine and it’s impossible not to find something wonderfully succulent that you’ll enjoy. Even better, you’re dining with your PTKC besties!
So, off to Zona Rosa on this fine Wednesday evening. Stay healthy, fellas, and meet us there. We look forward to seeing ‘ya!

Contract Bridge Game
2026-03-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
Attention bridge lovers and those who wanna be! Our esteemed Board Secretary, Jim Wright, hosts a bridge game at his lovely home in Leawood. Sure some experience helps but fear not aspiring bridge players, Jim is happy to coach you so you’ll be quickly doing what bridge players do like a pro!
So, get ready to bid on those tricks, be sure you’ve had your vaccines and join them!

Movie Night @ Jim & Sam's!
2026-03-14 19:00 - 21:30 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
Ah, the PTKC Movie Night. It’s a classic, much beloved event hosted by our equally beloved board members, Jim and Sam. Our gracious hosts provide a few nibbles, popcorn, water and ice tea but if you’re so inclined, indulge us with something delicious that you’d like to bring. After all, we’re the guys who love to eat! As always two movies will be shown simultaneously in their spacious residence and you can choose which one appeals to you. We’ll announce the movies as soon as, well, as soon as somebody tells me what they are.
Now you know the drill. Keep an eye out for the Punch Bowl invite ’cause we get a great crowd here. Stay healthy, fellas, and be sure to join us!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Rudy's Tenampa in Lenexa
2026-03-16 17:00 - 19:00 | Rudy’s Tenampa in Lenexa, 8710 Lackman Road, Lenexa, KS, 66219, United States
Now I know many of you frequent Rudy’s. For us it’s a really good choice and their Happy Hour offerings are pretty darn great. From Espinaca dip and Tostada Nachos to a fine selection of companion drinks, it’ll make a great evening out with your PTKC pals!
¡Así que no te quedes en casa! ¡Únete a nosotros! (So, don’t stay at home and join us!)

Saint Patrick's Day Dinner @ Cronin's Bar & Grill in Lenexa
2026-03-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Cronin’s Bar & Grill, 12227 W 87th Street, Lenexa, KS, 66215, United States
Okay, guys. Don’t be confused. We’re not having a Hump Day Wednesday event this week. Instead, we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day tonight! And, what better place to celebrate than a great dive bar with equally fine bar food!? And, that, mo chairde (my friends) takes us to Cronin’s Bar & Grill! Hey, it’s fun! It’s lively! It’s a crazy sports bar with a good crowd, Ryan, our barman pouring the drinks and a bevy of servers taking care of us. After all, it’s St. Paddy’s Day and everyone’s Irish tonight!
So, get ready for a fun, festive night with your fellow St. Patrick’s Day celebrants. And, remember – a good friend is like a four-leaf clover—hard to find and lucky to have… but even better with a pint!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill
2026-03-23 17:00 - 19:00 | Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill, 817 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
Welcome to The Flea, guys. This 30 year-old funky, quirky dining institution is a must eat at kinda’ place in KC! Food is prepared to order and drinks are plentiful and well executed. Now just a couple of things to keep in mind about this joint. First, for those wanting a Happy Hour nosh, you must order food at the bar. There’s a big sign so you won’t get lost. Now the servers are always loquacious and fun so order your drinks from these fine folks. And, lastly, The Flea only takes cash. So, keep that in mind. Of course, should you forget feel free to see our Treasurer, Doug Pittack, if he’s there. He always carries a wad of dough in that enormous Lincoln he drives. 😛
Stay healthy (an arm jab or two is a good thing) and spend tonight with us!
