The first person who shoots me an email, I will forward my tix and delete this post.

Feel like getting out of the house? Want to meet some new people? You know that place you’ve seen recently and been wanting to check out? For all those reasons and more, we made the Oakland Thursday Meetup. (Est. 2014)

• Every Thursday you can find us at a different bar in Oakland sharing a few drinks and some laughs.
• We’ve got a mix of people, locals, and transplants. The Weird and the wise. Homegirls and tech bros. Plus, a strong contingent of people who just want to start the weekend a day early. Usually there’s about 8 of us, but occasionally up to 20.
• It’s a great way to try some new places and get to know some folks you might otherwise miss. Drop in, drop out, no pressure and definitely no problems.

From 7:30pm to around 10pm you can find us at:

Temescal Brewing

4115 Telegraph Ave, Oakland

We’ll post here for updates on where we’ll be sitting. Hope to see you there!

This week's Thursday meetup is for beers (or other food/drinks) and baseball!

Thursday 5/21/2026:

The plan is to meet up at the Prescott Market for pre-game beers around 5pm and hit the Ballers game around the 6:35pm opening.

• Pre-Game Meetup: Prescott Market (1620 18th St in front of Almanac on the patio) @ 5 pm. I will be wearing a fluorescent orange hat that says "Oakland's Own." I bought some $7 tickets, so you can grab one from me before the game if you don't have one already - You can PM me to buy one as well.
• Oakland Ballers vs. Missoula PaddleHeads, Too $hort Night - Game at 6:35 pm. We are going to be sitting in "GA - 1st Base." Game at Raimondi Park @ 1700 20th St. The first 750 people will get a Too $hort bobblehead!

Next week we are going to do something a bit different:

I bought about ten $7 tickets for the 5/21/2026 Oakland Ballers vs. Missoula PaddleHeads, Too $hort Night game. If you are interested, you can buy some tix from me this week or next. If you wanted to buy your own, I grabbed seats in GA - 1st Base.

The plan is to meet up at the Prescott Market for pre-game beers around 5pm and hit the Ballers game around the 6:35pm opening.

The hosts of the Thursday meetup have some conflicts this week, so we are taking the night off.

May 14th we will be back, likely meeting up at the new Dave & Busters in Jack London Square!
