: Hey Khris - [[User:Kotra|Kotra]], [[User:MarkDilley|Mark]] and [[User:WikiMaster|I]] looked into [[B-Side Tavern]] and [[Basement Pub]] during our [[WikiWednesday]] meetup at [[Bunk Bar]] last week. Looks like both establishments are 21 and over venues, but do you know for sure? Kotra posted a brief list of [[PortlandWiki:Weekly_Wiki_Workouts#Meetup_Venues|ideal criteria]] for a meetup spot. We occasionally have someone from the "under 21 crowd" (like [[User:Sofiaangelina|my daughter]], for instance) show up, and we're hoping to stick with venues where under-agers can also feel welcome. The fact that we've held some meetings at establishments like [[Blitz Pearl]] and [[Bunk Bar]] may have created some confusion, but both of those venues allow minors through the door (Bunk in the whole space, and Blitz in the upstairs only). Hope this helps! -[[User:WikiMaster|WikiMaster]] ([[User talk:WikiMaster|talk]]) 06:53, 11 October 2010 (PDT) | : Hey Khris - [[User:Kotra|Kotra]], [[User:MarkDilley|Mark]] and [[User:WikiMaster|I]] looked into [[B-Side Tavern]] and [[Basement Pub]] during our [[WikiWednesday]] meetup at [[Bunk Bar]] last week.

:: Indeed, they are both over 21 only. Close-in [[Eastside]] locations that (I believe) allow minors include [[Beulahland]] (that actually might be a really good one), the [[Lucky Labrador]], and (maybe?) the [[Laurelthirst Pub]]? That said, Bunk Bar is pretty nice and close-in, so if you guys are already doing that, maybe I'll hit that up.

Revision as of 14:45, 11 October 2010
I'm nominating either the B-Side Tavern or the Basement Pub for one of the days, maybe "Thursday Thugz", because I live on the Eastside and those are my regular haunts. Also, I would prefer to be a "thug" than a "warbler". Wednesday Wizards or Wednesday Wunderkind, maybe?
- Hey Khris - Kotra, Mark and I looked into B-Side Tavern and Basement Pub during our WikiWednesday meetup at Bunk Bar last week. Looks like both establishments are 21 and over venues, but do you know for sure? Kotra posted a brief list of ideal criteria for a meetup spot. We occasionally have someone from the "under 21 crowd" (like my daughter, for instance) show up, and we're hoping to stick with venues where under-agers can also feel welcome. The fact that we've held some meetings at establishments like Blitz Pearl and Bunk Bar may have created some confusion, but both of those venues allow minors through the door (Bunk in the whole space, and Blitz in the upstairs only). Hope this helps! -WikiMaster (talk) 06:53, 11 October 2010 (PDT)
