Dunno, maybe somewhere city centre-ish if we're heading for a beer later?
I've never done the Botanics station so I quite fancy that as a kick off point?
Anybody else have any other ideas?

I hope anyone that has enjoyed the superb quality of this forum can pop along if only for the one drink, just to say cheers :)
And on this rare occasion, I wont be working and may get drunk and do something silly... an incentive and a half to come along!

Ok so its Morrisons, what time?
Do any of us know other members? I dont fancy going up to guys and saying Urban Glasgow

Do they do Coffee ? 
As a non partaker of alcohol it is always a concern.
If not will just need to join Fjord in the soda and lime corner and partake of double espresso from a hip flask.

Glad I finally managed to make it along to a Drinks Night and all the better for it being the 2nd Birthday. Great night and good to meet up with some old and new faces.
The pub was good and not too busy or noisy
Congrats to all the team at Urban Glasgow for providing us with something to do most evenings.

I won't make that mistake a second time.

Sorry I missed it guys...I had set out with the intention of coming down to Morrison's when I finished work at 3 pm but ended up in my auld local in Parkhead and before I knew it the beers were flying fast and furious and the craic was intense...fitba as usual.
By the time your 8 o'clock kick-off time came around I was well tanked up and not long after it curry and a taxi time hame to Riddrie.
I will be there for the next one.
