What we’re about
Enjoy a beverage and discuss topics related to philosophy in the technological age.
The goal of Drink & Think is to explore and discover the boundaries of topics that continue to stump history’s greatest minds, while conversing casually over a beer with friends. Consider this Meetup a philosophical think tank, or a “drink tank” if you will.
This is an introductory level group, but advanced philosophers are also welcome. Optional sources will be provided for context.
Meetups rotate throughout various locations in the Bay Area, including San Francisco and Palo Alto. Read individual event descriptions for more details.
Cheers!

See all- Love in the Age of AlgorithmsOlympus cafe and bakery, Mountain View, CA
“Love is the bridge between you and everything.” — Rumi
Dating apps promise connection — but do they really reflect what our hearts are seeking?
This gathering blends gentle conversation with thoughtful reflection. Together, we’ll explore how technology shapes modern romance, what it means to feel truly seen in relationships, and how to nurture meaningful bonds in a digital world.
- What are you truly seeking in a partner?
- How do you know when a connection is real?
- What makes a relationship feel successful — and what makes it challenging?
- Do algorithms help us find love, or do they make us forget what love really is?
We’re an easygoing group that values thoughtful dialogue and genuine connection — exploring love not only as an emotion, but as a way of understanding ourselves and others.
Whether you’re single, exploring, or simply curious, come share stories, listen, and connect with others who value authenticity over swipe culture.
If you value kindness, curiosity, and depth, you’ll feel at home here.After the event, we plan to go watch Perseid Meteor Shower at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve in Palo Alto.
