Czar Bar

The local music scene held its breath last year when Anodyne Records owner John Hulston got into the bar business. After months of remodeling, Hulston and his partners presented the location, formerly known as Late Night Theater, as the classy but rock-charged Czar Bar. Positioned on the fringes of the Crossroads and the Power & Light districts, the bar near 16th Street and Grand is the right watering hole to hit on the way to or from a big bash at the Sprint Center. It's also home to one of the finest stages in Kansas City for seeing a more intimate performance. Nearly every night, musicians inhabit the stage in front of an old bank-vault door. And you can count on the fact that whatever arresting art is hanging on the club's marble walls tonight flowed from a local hand.

Word to the wise: Czar does not, it seems, want older customers. My wife and I (ages 59 and 62) went there to hear a band...we knew a couple of the musicians. After eating and having a beer, we got oblique "hints" from the staff that it was awkward for us to be there. We finally left, just as the show was getting underway. Trust me, this was not something that arose out of too much drink or unseemly behavior. I've never been asked to leave an establishment before. I do understand that the owner may want to maintain a certain vibe. But, are bar customers so insecure that they need to be protected from others not of their age group? I've always felt welcomed in KC, wherever I've gone. I'm sad.
