Silent Book Club Seattle @ The Ink Drinker

With the demise of our U-District homebase, we're moving to other neighborhoods... Welcome to our first meet up at The Ink Drinker, a book-themed bar in Ballard and a most welcoming place to read in public.
We are establishing this event on the second Thursday of every month, with a later start time befitting the pre-weekend meetup date.

Whether you’re diving into a gripping novel, finishing your latest nonfiction pick, or simply savoring a few quiet moments with a book, this welcoming gathering is the perfect way to enjoy reading in good company.
Bring your favorite read, a friend, or just yourself.
All book genres, reading mediums, and readers 21+ are welcome!

📅 Event Schedule
⏳ 7:15 - 7:30 → Arrive, settle in, and purchase a beverage - please support our host venue!
***Arriving after 7:30 pm may not ensure optimal or available seating.***
📖 ~7:45 - ~8:00 PM → Introduce yourself (name+location, what you’re reading).
🤫 ~8:00 - 9:00 PM → Silent reading time.
🍾 9:00 PM onwards → Optional social time.

We are establishing this event on the second Thursday of every month, with a later start time befitting the pre-weekend date.

🔹 RSVP & Event Guidelines
✔ No assigned reading – Bring any book you’re currently enjoying (physical, e-reader, or audiobook with headphones).
✔ RSVP REQUIRED – Note that the Ink Drinker has a maximum capacity of 50. To help us coordinate space and seating, please RSVP. It's ideal to arrive as close to 6:30 pm as possible for optimal+available seating. We are currently capping RSVPs at 70 to account for the usual number of no-shows - this may be adjusted in the future as we get a better idea of what the typical attendance is like.
✔ Feeling unwell? The seats are close together, catch us next time!
