Join us for our “Open Topic Night,” where any issue — current or timeless — is fair game. Bring a topic you’re passionate about, along with your sharpest arguments, toughest questions, and an open mind. Friends of the Salon is an extension of our more formal events, focussing on facilitating similar discussions, but in more intimate settings. We also hope to provide a chance to get to know one another. You are encouraged to purchase drinks at the bar of The Alehouse. Because of the limited capacity, attendance is per reservation only.

IMPORTANT: Please confirm your participation in the Meetup app by Monday morning in the week of the event to ensure that there's enough space for everyone.
