May 3rd, 2013--Pizza Luce, Downtown Minneapolis
No baseball tonight, so it should be sane to venture out to this popular downtown pizza establishment for our monthly happy hour. They have an excellent selection of craft beers on tap and their menu includes gluten free and vegan options. Join us for our monthly social event where serious conversation is optional but never unwelcome.
Drink specials last only until 6:00pm, so get there promptly if you care. Keep your RSVPS accurate, as usual, due to limited space.
Parking tips: take the light rail or bus if you can. Street meters should be available at $1/hour. Don't park in the surface lot across the street; it's very pricey. Ramp C is nearby and charges $5/evening on non-event nights.
April 5th, 2013--Green Mill, St. Paul
Hey, it's Spring! If you've been hibernating too long, come on out and join us for another social gathering at the Green Mill Pizzeria in St. Paul. The food is good, the company even better and the conversation stimulating.
They've put us in the back dining room again, but some folks like it better there. Come join us for another pleasant evening out with fellow humanists and freethinkers. FYI--Green Mill's happy hour specials last until 6pm.
Space is limited, so as usual, keep your RSVP's accurate and up-to-date. 
Thanks!
March 1st, 2013--Gorkha Place, NE Minneapolis
Can you believe it? March is almost here! Time once again for our totally socially-focused monthly get together. We're trying another new place in Minneapolis; in "north-east" not too far across the river. This Indian restaurant has a private room just for us with delicious food and small plates--even for the health-conscious or vegan-minded. The bar selections may be more limited--with no happy hour discounts--but the beverage menu also offers some unique non-alcoholic refreshments that are sure to please.
Join us then if you can for an intimate gathering of fellow humanists for good conversation and conviviality. Space is limited for 16 people only. Keep your RSVPs accurate and up-to-date to allow space for those who definitely can commit to this event.
The restaurant is on the corner of 1st Avenue and 4th St. NE and has a small parking lot with more spaces becoming available after 6pm. Also, street parking is free after 6pm--and costs only a quarter for the half-hour before. Or, take the bus, bike or walk, :-)
February 1st, 2013--Green Mill Pizzeria, St. Paul
Join us for another casual gathering for food, drink and conversation with fellow humanists and naturalists. Our monthly Happy Hours provide a great opportunity to meet other like-minded folks in an informal setting to relax at the end of the week. Meet old friends; make new ones.
FYI--Green Mill Happy Hour specials end at 6pm. And, as always, keep your RSVPs accurate and up-to-date since we have limited space. Thanks.
January 4th, 2013--Primebar Restaurant, Minneapolis
We are checking out another new venue as we toast in the New Year with fellow humanists and freethinkers. In the heart of Uptown, Primebar hosts their Happy Hour until 7pm--so come enjoy some food and drink at your leisure. While they don't cater to specialty diets, their menu is varied enough to accommodate vegan and gluton-free palates.
December 7th, 2012--Green Mill Restaurant and Bar, St. Paul
It's gonna be dark, and probably cold. You could go home after work and hibernate, OR you could while away a couple of hours with friends over food and drink at the Green Mill-- and no doubt some good conversation. It's the best way to get through the darkest time of year. Hope to see you out and about.
November 2nd, 2012 -- Mill Valley Kitchen, Minneapolis
Unwind and connect at the end of the week with friends and fellow Humanists. We'll be checking out a new venue this month, a relatively new bar and eatery, the Mill Valley Kitchen. It boasts a northern-Californian-inspired cuisine based on healthy, light and locally sourced ingredients. Vegan and gluton-free options are available. Take a look at their website for details-- http://millvalleykitchen.com/
Their Happy Hour specials end at 6pm, so arrive on time if you are able. And space is limited so PLEASE keep your RSVPs accurate and up-to-date if your plans change. Mill Valley Kitchen is on the western edge of Minneapolis where Excelsior Blvd. and France Ave. meet. Parking and main entrance are in the back of this large residential complex and retail facility.
October 5th, 2012 -- Green Mill Pizzeria, St. Paul
We're back at our regular haunt in St. Paul. With our usual spot behind the bar, we have our own space for managable noise control and opportunity for good conversation. And just a reminder, their happy hour specials only last until 6pm.
September 7th, 2012-- Gigi's Cafe, Uptown, Mpls.
Has the end of summer got you down? Or is the start of fall lifting your spirits? Whatever your mood, join fellow humanists and freethinkers at this neighborhood eatery on the edge of Uptown to socialize, nosh and toast the cycle of the seasons.
Gigi’s Café has happy hour specials until 6pm with a nice selection of small plates to pair with a beverage. The chefs are transitioning to locally farmed and sustainably grown ingredients as well as offering gluten free, vegan and vegetarian menu options. The café has a limited liquor license in that they are only allowed to serve alcohol with food, so come hungry or enjoy some of their other tasty non-alcoholic beverages.
August 3rd, 2012--Green Mill Pizzeria, St. Paul
Another Friday. Another hot summer evening? Cool off and meet-up with fellow humanists at this great St. Paul bar and eatery.

We've got our own space behind the bar allowing for good conversation and comradery.
July 6, 2012--Common Roots Cafe, Minneapolis
It's Friday night and time to relax! Join fellow humanists and freethinkers for some lively conversation and pleasant comradery at the Common Roots Cafe.
We are happy to support this local eatery that thinks ethically about food. From their website: "Common Roots provides high-quality and sustainable fare that's accessible to all. Our kitchen uses local and organic ingredients to create a monthly-changing menu of innovative food made from scratch every day."
They've got some good beer, too, and are prepared to accommodate vegan and gluten-free diets.
