London Vegan Drinks

London vegans and their friends take socialising to the next level on the third Thursday of every month. Join us for a night of drinking, networking and getting to know each other in a fabulous central London setting.

This event is always amazing with 100+ people in attendance. Let's do it again this month!

Where is Vegan Drinks? London Vegan Drinks takes place upstairs at The Big Chill House located less than a three minute walk from King's Cross Station. Originating in New York City, Vegan Drinks has now become a global event.

What is Vegan Drinks? London Vegan Drinks is a monthly bar night for vegans and vegan-friendly people. The bar is stocked with vegan beer, vegan wine, vegan cocktails, vegan cider and more! All you need to do is show up on the night, buy some drinks and hang out. Simple.

How much does it cost? Entry to London Vegan Drinks is free. You just pay for the drinks you want to consume and the food you want to eat. Shambhu's, a dedicated vegan catering company, will be selling delicious plant-based bar snacks such as pizza slices, bean burritos, salads and more!

Follow Shambhu's on Twitter and Facebook for more information.

What is the point? London Vegan Drinks is an opportunity for vegans, friends and the curious to meet, drink, relax and socialise. It is a perfect place to make new friends, connect for business or just get out of the house for a night.

Wanna come along? Please RSVP below in the comments. Spread news of London Vegan Drinks far and wide. Please post details on forums, blogs, Twitter, Facebook and wherever else interested and interesting people converge. Bring friends, family and co-workers. All are welcome.

You can also RSVP and invite friends via the Facebook event.

    Apologies for RSVPing and not coming along. It was a close call as I was going for a very delicious Gujarati Thali meal earlier. But the meal took longer than expected as the place was quite busy.

    Hi! Just wanted to check if anyone lost an umbrella at the drinks. If so, please contact me, telling me what colour the umbrella is and I will attempt to reunite you! Thank you! : )

    Last month, some people mentioned a desire to dance. So while we still plan on keeping the music quiet for most of evening, so people can chat, we hope to turn it up towards the end (say, 11) so people can dance. Hopefully, we can do the opposite with the lighting! I'll be DJing, and there may be one other DJ too. And since my own music may not be to everyone's taste, free to bring suitable CDs, and I'll see what I can play. (Though not knowing your tracks in advance guarantees the odd "train wreck"!)

      Can you hook up an iPhone?

      April 17

    • Robb

      Er... Well, I can connect one. But until they build in a tempo control, they're not very practical to mix from. ;-)

    Some updates about the evening:

    - As Robb mentioned, he will be sharing DJ duties with Dek so get ready for a fabulous mix of tunes.

    - Remember to visit Vx for a special London Vegan Drinks 10% discount before hand. Vx will be open until 7:30pm.

    - We are taking most of the tables out as last time it got a bit crowded.

    - The cloakroom is being opened (£2) so everyone is encouraged to use this to free up available seating.

    - As it is finally Spring, enjoy the outdoor deck!

    - I am sad to miss the event this month. I have been a bit under the weather but will be fighting fit for the potluck and the next drinks. Such a shame as it looks like it will be the best LVD yet! My partner Josh and dear friend Kip will both be on hand if you have any pressing questions.

    Have fun everyone!

      Yes, get well soon and I'm sorry we won't be able to meet this time. Also, sorry, but your email to me got lost among the many other Meetup announcements (I failed to flag it). It appears I'll be coming with a possible +5 now. I hope that's alright. Till next time...

      Hi Elaine. Of course it is OK. I'm sure you and your friends will have a wonderful evening.

    • FatGayVegan

      It will be getting good around that time! Don't be too much later if you are looking for food. Have a fun night!

    I'm visiting London, from Minneapolis in the U.S :) Thought I'd check out the local vegan group here! I'm pretty active with animal advocacy groups back in the States.

    I will be leaving Southall in a week, and with only one backpack. There is stuff left in the pantry (flours, seeds, oils, etc) that I won´t be able to take with me. If you want something, find me at vegan drinks this thursday :) I will bring everything that does not fit in my luggage and give it away for cheap.

    Hi Robb, How do I add a "+4"? The Parisians are coming! We will likely be adding more as others confirm their plans to attend. If possible, I'd like to coordinate a few things via email; ask advice... See you soon!

    • FatGayVegan
