About Me

"I am a music venue.... bricks get me hot and bothered. I love it when you walk inside me"
El Torreon is an all ages venue. Smoking is allowed in the building, alcohol is not. Our restrooms are old and scary, and the roof leaks on occasion. The old building has a charm of its own, that not everyone appreciates. We are not a slicked-up bar, or backed by a church. We offer a place for bands who play their own music and fans to come together. Our primary focus is on local music, although we do have friends around the country, and the world, who have played on our stage.
All shows start at 7pm (unless otherwise noted). Doors open at 6:45pm.
BANDS: load in at 6pm.
El Torreon is located at 3101 Gillham Plz., Kansas City, MO 64109.
From Westport take Broadway to 31st street, go right(east) to Gillham Plz. We're on the right, on the SE corner of 31st and Gillham Plz. (2 blocks East of the KCPT19 tower)
