New Digs for Drinking Skeptically!

We are thrilled to announce a fabulous new change to our favorite monthly social gathering! We’re moving to The Bar at 2132. (That’s E. Carson St. — A Pittsburgh phrase meaning “where the bars live.”)
The owner has not only graciously let us reserve the front section of this posh place on a Friday night, but [...]

Well children, and by children I mean responsible adults 21 and 0lder – it is almost that time again. Pittsburgh’s Drinking Skeptically is the 3rd Friday of each month, which means February 20th we’ll be gathering once again at The Claddagh Irish Pub in South Side Works and hope you’ll join us!
Topics might include, but [...]

See you at 7:30!

Drinking Skeptically at Claddagh’s Irish Pub this Friday!

Drinking Skeptically in Pittsburgh has found itself a new home this month and next, as well as a new date during the month.  We have switched to the third Friday’s for November and December to avoid any collision with holiday events. We also found a great space with Claddagh Irish Pub in the South [...]

It’s that time of year again — bonfires, hayrides, apple cider, costume parties, harvest ales, and … ghosts?
Yeah, I said the other g-word. For the month of October, we will be taking a look at some of the spookier claims out there. And we’d like to hear from you!
What are your thoughts on modern Halloween [...]

This month we’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations as well as cash donations to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. So be sure to go through your pantry and grab anything you [...]

Of sardines and deep fried cheeseburgers

At our pre-meeting dinner gathering at Bettis Grille, Brandon was the only one who braved the deep fried cheeseburger.

Research grants may or may not be available for proposals delving [...]
