Meeting Places

[backhousebrew]

Looking for new places to hold our meetings.
Ideas?
Restaurants, pizza places, meeting rooms, bowling alleys, lodges, hotels, warehouses, Elks lodge, church reception halls ??? Preferably a place that is quiet enough to hear each other talk.
The big question is "Will they allow us to bring in our own beer?"
Any restaurant is happy to have 15 to 25 people come in for a dinner meeting but when asked about bringing in our own homebrew, the answer is usually "No"
If you know a place that might work, talk to the owner or manager and ask if they would host our meeting. Then post it here or PM me with the contact info so we can lock in a date.
We would like to get something toward the West end of Orange Co. Maybe HB, NB, Costa Mesa.
