Not many people remember that Kansas City had its own Playboy Club (why would they? It closed decades ago) at the height of Hugh Hefner's fame. The club was a corporate-owned venue — unlike the St. Louis operation, which was a franchise — and featured a full-service restaurant that served lunch and dinner, two show rooms that offered both local entertainers and nationally known headliners, and a banquet room. The Playboy Club Kansas City opened on June 13, 1964, in the top-floor ballroom of the former Continental Hotel at the corner of 11th Street and Baltimore. It's now known as the Mark Twain Tower.

I remember going there in the early 70's for lunches many times. The best buffet lunch in town, service like no where else and oh those beautiful bunnies!
