Hang out with IT friends and colleagues after work! I host two events each month:
- Funky Buddha 2nd Wednesday of each month.
- Biergarten Boca 3rd Wednesday of each month.
At The Funky Buddha I usually grab a table at the back of the tap room, near the hallway to the meeting and games area.
The tap room has great wi-fi and a pleasant ambiance for anyone who wants to arrive early and work of their laptop instead of dealing with commuter traffic. I try to be on-site by 4:00 PM at my co-working space with beer instead of coffee!
The Funky Buddha now has a full restaurant license so they serve food, beer, wine and spirits. Happy hour menu is from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM and includes a Spent Grain Pretzel and a Pub Burger for $6 each. There are also Happy Hour drinks.
