It’s the most wonderful time of the year for hearty Irish pub food!
Join us again at our new location, the awesome Claddagh Irish Pub in the South Side Works, Friday December 19th for drinks and socializing with our big happy extended Pittsburgh Secular Freethinkers/Humanist/Atheist/Agnostic/Skeptical family!
It is very important that I give the restaurant a heads-up with a headcount. We need 20 to keep our private room, and if I know in advance we’ll be a smaller group this month, I can let them know and make other seating arrangements. You can drop an RSVP comment here, or at our Facebook event invite.
The more the merrier — bring friends!

Don’t worry Bill, I’m sure we can rustle you up some bells.
Yay, Suzanne & Geis! See you there!
So far we’ve got twelve confirmed and ten maybes. Lookin’ good, folks!
