13.Nov.2025, THURSDAY 6:30pm at The Hangar

We gather again this Thursday at 6:30pm at: The Hangar Restaurant
on the second floor (there is an elevator in addition to stairs)
540 1st St S
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
https://www.thehangarstpete.com/
We meet on the outdoor balcony (go past the bar and you will see the glass door to the balcony).

We've got a couple of cooler days this week, but when we meet Thursday evening, it should be around 70F, so that is rather nice :)

A few interesting reads...

If you show up and can't find us, just ask at the staff where the St Pete Drinking Liberally group is seated :)

Please note that several "regulars" show up most weeks, and therefore do not RSVP. Don't worry if you are new and only see a few RSVPs if you look at Meetup :) Anyone is welcome (as long as they are civil), and we talk about pretty much ANYthing -- some of which is political and plenty that is just life in general :)
