my first happy hour posting!  i hope to do LOTS of research on this subject in the next year, and deliver a well-rounded list of fantastic happy hours in the kc metro area.  it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it, right???

i realize that you can go on urban spoon and find all the happy hours in town, but that’s too overwhelming for me.  i’ve just started the process, but i will post only the best happy hours ~ the ones i find to be delicious, cheap, and very happy!

i begin in the northland!  did you expect THAT?  this restaurant is just across the bridge, in the beautiful briar cliff village shopping center.  i met two northland high school music teachers for happy hour one friday (no one is more fun that a music teacher ~ don’t forget that), and had a really pleasant experience.  great service, great food and drink, and how about dining al fresco!!  there’s a beautiful view and because it’s higher up, there’s an amalfi coast-like breeze that is so refreshing.  i felt like i had taken a little day trip away from the city.  it was lovely.

lovely, right?  the wine is cheap and the appetizers are so delicious.  i had marinated olives with my house red of the day…

mmmm….does your mouth water when you see olives?  mine does.

i also had buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes, but ate them too quickly to take pictures of them.  

here’s the info you need:
