Gay owned, good food and bountiful bevvies make a killer Happy Hour! PTKC’ers are Gaels Public House & Sports fans! And, hey! Maybe it’ll be warm enough to hang outside on their patio. Wherever we are at Gaels, you’re gonna have fun.

Coffee Talk at Denny's
2026-06-03 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-06-10 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-06-17 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-06-24 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-07-01 10:00 - 11:30 | Denny’s on Metcalf Avenue, 10480 Metcalf Avenue, Overland Park, 66212, United States
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 @ Strouds in Oak Ridge Manor
2026-06-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Strouds in North Kansas City, 5410 NE Oak Ridge Dr, Kansas City, MO, 64119, United States
The year was 1933. Prohibition had just been repealed, we were between two World Wars and nary a cardiologist prescribed baby aspirin. THEN. COMETH. STROUDS!! Now Stroud’s award winning fried chicken came about because during WW II, beef was rationed and Helen Stroud started serving pan-fried chicken. The original chicken dinner was only $.35! Now, of course, Stroud’s has garnered multiple awards including the prestigious James Beard honorific. But by now you’re thinkin’ enough with the typing! IT’S FRIED CHICKEN so get outta’ my way!!
So, off we go north. If you haven’t been this place is both rustic and charming. I suggest wearing stretch pants, fellas. Stay healthy, get ready and feast with us!

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-06-05 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-06-12 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-06-19 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-06-26 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.

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, stay healthy, please! Vinnie our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

So, a friend once asked me about “lighter” dining options at Q39 in Overland Park. After I rolled my eyes and dismissed this silly query with a withering gaze, he got the message. I mean, c’mon! IT’S GREAT BBQ and this is no time for “lighter” fare*! Grab a bib when you get there as it’s a hands-on affair and enjoy! We’ll be there with you!
(*Now if you must there are leaner meals to be had. Q39 has some really good salads including Chopped Salad, Southwest Chicken Salad, and a really delicious Wood-Fired Canadian Salmon Salad. Okay, okay. I’ve had it. Sue me.)
