**LA Chess Social X Burbank Chess Club** **November 28th** Only two more events left in 2026! Join us for our November Special! This round, we are partnering up with the Burbank Chess Social, for an evening of chess, live music, art, and really good food & beer! We are especially enthusiastic to be hosting this event at **Brews Brothers Burbank!** As many of you know, this lovely brewery has been very kind to the social chess scene, **having hosted the NoHo Chess Social for many years** at their other location! Or you might remember trying their small-batch brews, generously provided at our Ten Year Anniversary Gala! **It is a tradition of ten years now, to hold our November event two days after Thanksgiving.** This is very much intentional. We are happily providing an excuse to take a quick chess break from a week of in-laws, or even better…giving you a chance to show your in-town-relatives how much fun the LA social chess scene is! This one is all ages, so bring whoever you like! More information to come! Hope to see you there! November 28th, 2026 Brews Brothers Burbank 3000 W Olive Ave, Burbank, CA 91505 8:00pm - 11:30pm All Ages
