Gates Bar-B-Q

It has grown from a single storefront at 19th and Vine to a family of six up-to-date restaurants throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area.

This neighborhood saw the rise of the famous Henry Perry restaurant as well as the 18th & Vine Jazz District.

[4] Gate's Bar-B-Q is featured prominently in the lyrics and video of rapper Tech N9ne's song "O.G."

The title and cover of the 2010 album the song is featured on, The Gates Mixed Plate, make further references to the restaurant.

Gates and Sons is referenced in lyrics for Sir Mix-a-Lot's song "A Rapper's Reputation" from the 1992 album Mack Daddy.
