I'll second that opinion and offer a link.  It's what we do when we don't
have a structured meeting:

I second the opinion of Kara in that Fairview is a bad place for such get
togethers.  I'll suggest Maxwell's although they tend to get crowded the
same and don't have the space per se that this can mushroom
into.  Likewise I heard their food quality is like a linux kernel... you
just never know what you'll get in each release.  

NLUG has as of late had problems with offline and often offtopic
conversations taking place during presentations (regular meetings).  It's
pretty annoying and we're not sure what to do about it.  The problem is it
makes meetings drag on longer and the after meeting socializing cut
short.
