I enjoy a good drink and San Francisco has a rich tradition in drinking that goes back to the Gold Rush, runs through Prohibition and remains today. The goal of this group is to find hidden gems that offer well crafted drinks and a unique experience unlike your typical bar.

Living Skeptically started as Drinking Skeptically in Berkeley, but since the creator of the group doesn't drink, it needed to expand. Living Skeptically in Berkeley is for hosting gatherings of skeptics, atheists, freethinkers, and doubters in and around Berkeley, CA. The creator, Ursula, lives in South Berkeley, and likes grilling out in her front yard when it is sunny, taking walks around town and hiking, going to movies, theater, and concerts, and attending social and cultural gatherings. Ba …

Forget beer and frou-frou martinis. I love scotch! Do you? Let's trade tips, good finds, and go drinking (and dining) together. Are you in?

I was recently inspired by a New York Times article about informal science and technology lectures that are being held in bars and clubs in NYC. Here's my vision: to organize an informal lecture series at local (and supportive) bars/cafes on whatever topics interest intellectually minded folk (Astrophysics? Anthropology? Health and Wellness? You tell me!). The lecture becomes a place to learn, meet other people, have a drink and interesting conversation, or share what you know! At this point, I' …

Meetup meets Groupon/daily deals, but better. What’s better then great food at nice restaurants? How about enjoying it while meeting new people. What’s even better then that? How about saving 30% to 50% at the restaurants while doing all this. This group is first and foremost about discovering new restaurants and food, meeting new friends, and enjoying an evening in a fun and casual way. But why not also save money while doing it. We take the best of Meetup and married with the deal phenomenon b …

The fact is Walnut Creek has a ton of great spots to hang out, grab some great food, have a drink, taste wine & mingle. Sometimes finding these places and having a group to go with is the hard part...So, let's try them out, have some good conversation, meet new friends and most importantly have fun!

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …

Happy days, Just thought I would throw this out as a posting board for things to do, people to meet and just not be alone during the holidays, and the winter months. The concept is post day trips, outings, movies, public events, not just one type. Thinking a train trip to Old Sacramento, the ferry to the city, ice skating at Embacadero. Walnut Creek. throw in a lunch or dinner, maybe drinks, dancing. Open to suggestions, or recommendations for people new to the area to see or do. Maybe you would …

We are busy people who love to read. This book group will focus on reading short stories and short novels (under 250 pages) and discussing them over drinks. The group will be run informally and you are encouraged to attend even if you didn't finish the reading. We will meet once a month within the city of San Francisco.

I have been hosting happy hours in SF for several years now and each have always brought together a fun group of people that understand how to work hard and play harder. This is a great way to try out new bars that just open or revisit bars you've been at before. Just another excuse to get together over yummy drinks, delicious food (sometimes), meet new friends and possibly meet someone special *wink. Open to people that are single (I've introduced quite a few couples through these happy hours h …

This group is for guys who are either new in town or just want to meet some cool people. I just moved to the Bay Area and am looking to meet some other guys to do some of the things I enjoy, such as drinking wine, talking about life, playing poker, hiking and playing sports. I've got a great girlfriend so I'm not as interested in going out to bars and scamming on hotties (but we can reminisce about that one time...). If you enjoy conversation and meeting new people, let's all grab a beer or a gl …

Meet other apocalypse sci fi lovers over drinks at various cozy bars in the city! Each month we will read a book with an apocalyptic setting picked by either the organizer or voted upon by members. P.S. Some people have asked about what the 1.00 fee is/how is it used.... Most meetup events charge a low fee because meetup costs to start a group. (when an organizer makes a group they have to pay before it is posted. This fee helps reimburse me for the money I paid, as well as cutting down on no s …

A group designed for young adults (ages 24-35)who love the outdooors and camping with other fun people. Camping is done at campgrounds within approximately 150 miles of San Francisco. Trips are based around cooking great campfire food and enjoying what the outdoors has to offer. We require that we meet each individual prior to going camping.  This is not only to ensure safety, but also about getting to know each individual and their desired level of camping.  We find that meeting prior to a cam …

Join us for the launch of Tech PopUp, a new meet up for startups, entrepreneurs, investors, and developers to give demos and get friendly feedback!  Designers for developers in games, mobile, social media, digital media, tech, infrastructure, investing and brands. We just held our first one in LA which was a huge success, so now are launching in the SF Bay area. We are looking for a venue in SF or Peninsula, such as bar or restaurant. Let me know any ideas.  For the first hour, enjoy our network …

Hey all - I moved here recently from New York and one of the things I always found myself saying is that I wish more social events revolved around people actually talking rather than shouting over loud music at a bar. So I decided - there should be a group for that! The purpose of the group is to meet new people, drink wine (or whatever your drink of choice is), and have a good time. In college I remember reading about the concept of a symposium, where everyone would drink wine and talk for h …
