KC Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours 816-374-5424
We realize we probably shouldn't be revealing this, but we can't help it, because the Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours (i.e., happy hour) events are pretty damn fun and a really great idea. These monthly networking gatherings occur in different cool locations around town, such as the Liberty Memorial after its reopening; Barney Allis Plaza for the kickoff of Avenue of the Arts; the newly renovated KCPT Channel 19 building; and the BNIM Architects office in the KCPL building. The somewhat tricky part is actually getting in: Admission is $5 for Chamber of Commerce members and $20 for nonmembers. So if you don't work for a company that belongs to the Chamber, finding a way to sneak in for $5 is key. (Usually, just walking in will do.) Once you're in, there's a great buffet (catered by a different place each time) and, more important, a seemingly unlimited supply of wine and beer.
