Whether you are new to the neighborhood or lived here for years, you are invited to attend Heights Nights!

What are “Heights Nights”? A few years ago, one of the founders of TGHNA, Susie Gudermuth, suggested having monthly social outings for neighbors to get together at various business locations. Since then, these happy hours have become a popular way for newcomers and longtime neighbors to get together and socialize in casual settings spotlighting local businesses. Past locations have included Civil Life Brewing Co., Tower Grove Creamery, Rooster, Aesh Design architecture offices, VP Square, Dunaway Books, Aleto Construction Group offices, the Gin Room at Natasha’s, Zee Bee Market, the King and I, Guerilla Street Food, Baida, and Pizza Head.

Heights Nights are held on 2nd Tuesdays, April through September, 6:00-8:00 p.m. at various locations which are listed on the website calendar.  Everybody is welcome, including kids!
