I've been wanting to check this place out since I moved down the street a few years ago. The bartend was super friendly and happily explained the membership requirement. I also got to chat to a few of the regulars. It is an intimate space, but it was really nice. It is all bar stool seating and there's a step up into the bar and then another couple of steps to the bathroom. So not ADA friendly, but like most bars they're just dealing with the cards they were dealt in the early 1900s when they were opened! Over all, you should go check it out if you're interested in finding your own little local watering hole.

How confident are you? If you get nervous when asked to speak in front of a group or just want to…read moreimprove your communication skills, this is the place for you. A group of about 10-15 people meet the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month in Leawood for an hour lunch meeting. Typically, there are a couple 5-7 minute speeches that will be given and evalutated and then an opportunity for short "Table Topics" so everyone can practice thinking and speaking on their feet. My boss recommended that I join a Toastmasters group after she noted that I used "like" in conversations more than a Valley girl. That's embarrassing. At each meeting, there is a Grammarian/Ah-So Counter who reports how many times each person used a filler word, incorrect grammar, etc. Then the "winner" gets to take home the Wizard of Ahs trophy to remind them to speak more thoughtfully. After proudly earning this title for many meetings, I can say that I have definitely improved my speaking skills. I've been to other Toastmaster clubs and felt intimidated; this is a very diverse and welcoming group. Feedback is positive and constructive. You will always laugh. Guests are welcome anytime for free; check it out!

EVERY woman should go through this program ~ Women's Employment Network (WEN). It is a program…read morethat EMPOWERS women who are new to the workforce, re-entering the workforce or wanting to network. It consists of a 5 week program, that can be adjustable, according to what you need, for your desired occupation. Being brand new to Kansas City, I didn't know where to start, but I'm sure grateful that I stumbled upon this experience. I've not only enriched my knowledge on how to find a job that will love, but I've also made great friends and a solid support group, that I know I can always count on too!!! Best of all...it's FREE!!! Thank you WEN!

Realizing the need for this vital service in our city, they created WEN, the only organization of its kind in the area. More than 5,400 women have graduated from WEN's programs. Thousands more have benefited from WEN's support services, community referrals, and other training. And countless children and family members beyond have better lives today, thanks to this remarkable organization.

At first glance, this was a run down, dirty, almost scary place. But the longer I sat there, the…read moremore it grew on me. By the time I left I realized this is a pretty decent place to hang out. Beer Thirty is a private club, so smoking is permitted. After quizzing us for a bit and finally deciding we were ok, the bartender let us apply for memberships. She was pretty friendly and had a sassy sense of humor. The bar area isn't very attractive, pretty barebones in a cinder-block room. The bar forms a long U-shape so offers lots of seating and lends itself to creating conversations. There's a covered patio outside the east end. To the west of the bar is a separate room (separated by a half-wall) with pool tables and additional seating. This room looks nicer than the bar area. The restrooms are back here too and were pretty clean. The bar serves food a few days a week but apparently usually has a few things that can be quickly heated up on the other days. Beer Thirty is biker friendly and participates in area poker runs. It also has karaoke nights as well as bands. I'm told it's a popular hangout for off duty police as well. So, while I started out skittish, by the time I was done I liked this place. If you manage to win them over to get your membership, you'll love the attitudes, friendly people, and super cheap drinks.
