Pittsburgh Geek Night – April 1

Some of the PACUG group members attend the Pittsburgh Geek Night at the Church Brew Works at 3525 Liberty Ave. (Lawrenceville) and hope you'll join us! The group meets every other month, with the next gathering being on April 1.

For more than 10 years, geeks from the Pittsburgh area have been getting together to socialize, network, and ingest adult beverages. It's always a great time, and the food at the Church Brew Works is awesome!  There is no fee to attend, and sometimes the sponsors provide some appetizers (have to get there early for them).
