Sat, Sep 20, 2025, 10:00 AM EDTCoffee and Code with the Bluegrass Developers Guild
545 S Broadway suite 160, Lexington, KY
Coffee and Code aims to be an unstructured community event for local developers to come together. This can look like lively conversations about pros and cons of different stacks or quiet group coding sessions where folks are working on their own things with occasional comments back and forth. Come find and help build community amongst the Bluegrass Developers Guild!

Coffee and Code with the Bluegrass Developers Guild happens every 3rd Saturday at Chaotic Good: Coffee, Comics and Games starting at 10:00 AM. (545 S Broadway suite 160, Lexington, KY 40508)

Please purchase a drink and/or food, tip, and give thanks to the staff for letting us be there free of charge. Chaotic Good has free to play in store board games, so if you feel like gaming that is an option. There is no bike parking immediately outside of Chaotic Good but they have been generous in offering to let us bring bikes in to the store. Please be respectful and clean up.
