Attendees enjoy happy hour on Thursday at Zaarly offices, located in downtown Kansas City at 510 W. 5th St. Photo by Willis Jackson.
Not too long ago, a Facebook event popped up for a Zaarly-hosted happy hour at their Kansas City office. Since I hadn’t yet had the chance to stop by, I thought this would be a great time to make a visit. When I arrived, I found complimentary beverages, snacks and plenty of people having a good time.
When speaking with one of the event’s organizers, Josh Coleman of Zaarly, I learned that this is something they hope to make a regular fixture in order to give people in the community another place to congregate and get to know one another better, and hopefully come up with some items to Zaarly, too.

Looking ahead, a date has yet to be announced for their next happy hour, but Coleman said they’re considering trying to schedule one every other week. As it stands, it will fit in pretty nicely with other events, alternating with the Venture Fridays meetup hosted by Red Nova Labs.

Here are a few of the photos I captured at the event:
