Outdoorsy drinks at the Baylander

Let's meet up for one of the final drinks events outdoors. Baylander will probably close sometime in October for the season so let's get one last sunset on the Baylander! Everyone is welcome to come! I know there will be one other group that night. I had originally drafted this and had a date set but wasn't going to post it until our drinks this week but alas we both had the same idea of going to the Baylander one last time. Sunset is at 6:40 hence why I am starting this meetup at 6:30. Bring a warm coat in case it is chilly at night. This is an outdoor bar. Rain moves this event to the Expat nearby. Everyone is welcome to come whether you are new to the meetup or not! Let's chat about past and future outdoorsy trips!
