In-person get together; planning and discussion

We're looking to start the new year with an in-person get together, preferably at a brew pub or similarly casual environment. Location suggestions? We're looking for somewhere centrally located, casual, not too loud.

One topic I'd like to explore in person is the possibility of an annual or semi-regular triangle computer show. Come share your favorite beverage with your fellow geeks while you discuss your favorite retro technology!
