Monday, 9 April 2012 : ID your favorite drink at Down House

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on April 9th, 2012

Join us tonight at Down House, 1801 Yale St., at 8:00 PM for a cocktail or beer, and grab some good grub if you’re peckish.  DH is in the dry part of the Heights, so make sure you bring your I.D. so you can join their club for the night.  Also, they have more parking on 18th half a block west of Yale, if the main parking lot is full.

Unrelated Houston trivia for the day:  On this date in 1965, the first game at the Astrodome (Houston’s original Flying Saucer) is played; Houston beats Yankees 2-1 in exhibition as Mickey Mantle hits the first indoor home run.

Monday, 6 February 2012: Post Bowl Drinks at Down House

Hopefully your team won, or you just don’t care about that game that happened yesterday.  Either way, Monday nights will be free of American football for at least a few weeks, so come out to celebrate, commiserate, or just liquidate at Down House, 1801 Yale St., at 8  PM.

Side note:  How Ace Ventura may end up being responsible for an end to the NFL’s love-hate relationship with Roman numerals.

Monday 26 December 2011: Boxing Day Drinks at Down House

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on December 26th, 2011

Boxing Day is a bit of a mystery to most Americans.  What does the day after Christmas have to do with the squared circle and the Queensbury Rules, after all?  With all of that great food yesterday, most of us are still too full to strap on the gloves.  No floating like a butterfly here.  Strange habits these British have, what.

In any event, come out and celebrate or just have a libation at Down House, 1801 Yale St., at 8  PM.

Monday, 14 November 2011: Up to No Good at Down House

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on November 14th, 2011

Down House, named for the family home of Charles Darwin, is a pretty cool “Coffee Restaurant Bar”, whatever that means.  It gained some bit of notoriety a few months ago for a certain twit-storm that got started there.  SD doesn’t know anything about all that; all we know is, they cook good food, and they serve good beer and cocktails.  So, keep those tweets positive, and see us at 1801 Yale St. for drinks at 8 PM, or a bit earlier if you want some grub.
