Anu's Take
The last one sold me. Great spot, great group, and the room runs from fresh grads to post-retirement, with the talk landing anywhere between AI-assisted coding, punch cards and ham radio operators. If that sounds like fun, this is the place to be. Wednesday is burger and beer night at the pub, as well.
