Driberally tonight

Drinking Liberally is a weekly social gathering where progressives talk politics and get to know one another. In Center City Philadelphia, we meet on Tuesday nights at Triumph Brewery's upstairs bar, where there are drink and food specials from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. I hope to see you there!

Triumph Brewery is at 117 Chestnut Street in Old City. It's conveniently SEPTA-accessible via the Market-Frankford El (2nd Street station), all the buses that turn around at or near Penn's Landing (5, 12, 17, 21, 33, 42, 48), and a few other buses that pass nearby (9, 25, 38, 40, 44, 47, 57, 61).

This week's topic: It's the last Center City Drinking Liberally of 2009. The frightfully cold, windy weather has driven one of the co-hosts away for a week's vacation in the tropics. It's driven one of the regulars to Kazakhstan, where it's probably warmer. Though we won't be making anybody sing "Auld Lang Syne" tonight, let's get together to kick 2009 out the door and welcome in 2010. What do you say?

"Come for the beer, stay for the check"
