Earlier this month, we published The Pitch’s annual Best of Kansas City issue. You can take a peek at the results of the readers’ poll here. The issue also included a list, compiled and written by our editorial staff, of some local people, places, and things that we thought clearly won 2025. We’ll be publishing these items online throughout November.

At In Good Company, the mission is revealed in the name: an exclusively inclusive cocktail lounge dedicated to fostering great company and crafting exceptional drinks. Co-founders Cedric Ransburg and Daniel Edwards lead the way in this membership-based lounge in the Crossroads. So, what does it mean to be “exclusively inclusive”? 

IGC offers a variety of memberships ranging from $25 to $250 per month. Each membership offers a varying number of drink credits, bottle credits, and additional guest invites. The purpose of the membership is not profit; even the cost of the base membership at $50 ($25 for educators) is balanced out with the four drink credits. Instead, it’s a symbolic gesture to show that members are intentional about wanting to pour into the space. While IGC is inclusive of all backgrounds, it is also exclusively for those truly desiring to be there.

The lounge’s cozy, inviting ambiance is defined by plush living room-style furniture and industrial exposed plumbing. IGC also hosts a variety of events and regularly has a DJ. The layout of the space is a reflection of Ransburg’s experiences in the service industry from Kansas City to California, and with every cocktail poured at In Good Company, more unforgettable moments are on the horizon.
