About us
Welcome to The Drunken Historians Society!
Do you love history, biographies, and raising a glass to the past? Then this is the perfect book club for you. We’re a group of history enthusiasts in Phoenix who dive into the lives of historical figures, explore pivotal moments in history, and enjoy lively discussions over drinks.
Each month, we choose a biography or history book to read. Whether it's about a famous leader, an unsung hero, or a fascinating event, we meet up in a relaxed setting—usually at a local bar or pub—to discuss the book, share insights, and enjoy drinks.
What to expect:
Thought-provoking discussions on history, culture, and the lives of intriguing figures.
A fun, friendly atmosphere where history lovers of all backgrounds can connect.
Great company, good drinks, and a new book every month!
Who should join: Anyone who loves a good story, historical or biographical books, and engaging conversation with a drink in hand. Whether you’re a casual reader or a history buff, everyone’s welcome.
Join The Drunken Historians Society, and let’s make history while enjoying our favorite beverages!

Drunken Historians' Society - Time to Add Nominees for Voting
State 48 Lager House, 15600 Hayden Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260, USA, Scottsdale, AZ, USRaise Your Goblets, It Is Book Nomination Time!
Fellow drunken scholars, the reading list is thirsty and it needs your picks.
Before we gather to argue loudly over dead people and their questionable decisions, we need to know what we are arguing about. That means you need to nominate a book.
The rules are simple (even after a few drinks):- The book must be a primary source (such as autobiography), peer reviewed, or historical. If it is over 1,000 years old, we do not care if the author made half of it up. Herodotus gets a pass and so does your pick.
- If the book was written about your lifetime, it is probably not old enough for this crowd (though you're welcome to debate it 😏).
How to add yours:
Pour yourself something worthy of a Roman senator and head to the shared list: Book List
Add your book to the bottom of the list. There is some color coding happening in there, so do not mess with it. Just add yours at the end.Deadline: Wednesday, November 4.
You have one week. After that, we vote. If you do not add a book, you lose your right to complain about what we pick. And complaining is half the fun.
All event details (time, date, venue) are on the Meetup page. See you there, drink in hand.9 attendees
