Seth Allen had some very specific goals when he first opened Libations & Co. in downtown Lee's Summit. But, he knows both business and dreams can evolve. Just months after moving the business from 23 SW Third Street to 25 SW Third Street and doubling in size, he's now ready for another big step. The 1909 Club celebrates a soft opening this week and will be open to the public the following weekend. Named after the date of the building's original construction, Allen refers to the new venue as a music hall dedicated to high quality craft cocktails, music and a vibe you can't find anywhere else in town.
