The Creation of The Wobbler Club

Here's a little back history:
A few weeks ago I came up with an idea to create a club where once a month a group gets together and we go to a bar or restaurant that we have never been to before. The longer the club lasts the harder it will be to find places that are new to ALL of us so just as long as the majority of the people haven't been, it'll work. The idea is to get us out of our routines and to experience more of what our city has to offer. Along the way I hope to make new friends and find some local gems that I never knew were out there!
So I was thinking the group should meet on a weekday rather than a weekend and each month the date can change. Flexibility was key. I ran the idea past Nikki (just to make sure it wasn't completely unoriginal and lame) and she thought it was great! Whew! We then spread the word to everyone else. For some reason "The Wobbler Club" came to me and I felt like that was the perfect name. Why? I seriously have no clue. I picked a time and place for the first meeting and notified everyone. (We will decide as a group where the next meetings will be...I just picked the first one to kick it off)

Last night was our first "official" Wobbler Club meeting. It was at this new brewery downtown called 4 hands Brewing Co(8th and Hickory). It's only a few weeks old and I thought it would be the perfect way to start a new club!
My fellow "Wobblers" and I arrived at 4 Hands around 7 and sat at a huge table that was made out of an old door (there were 9 of us....pretty good turnout for the first meeting, wouldn't ya say?!). No food menu was available but patrons are allowed to bring in food and the table next to us had ordered a pizza from somewhere nearby. The bar had only two rooms: one small room off to the side with a foozball table and the other, a larger area that included the bar, tables, and a view into the brew room. All in all I thought it was very cute and and the beer I tried was yummy!
The beers were served in all sorts of cool glasses. Two of the "Wobblers" tried the Oatmeal Brew and it came in adorable mason jars that said "May Your Glass Be Filled". LOVE IT! I felt like the prices were very reasonable especially for locally brewed beers.

I walked around and noticed a sign that appeared to be written in chalk and it had the origins of all the decor in the bar. The tabletops, stools, picture frames, and the bar itself were all created from an old barn. Next to the sign was a framed picture of the barn in black and white. How unique and interesting is that!? It made me love the place so much more!
Later Nikki was talking to the bartender/one of the owners about the place and he asked about our group. We told him we were The Wobbler Club. He seemed to get a kick out of it and recommended a few other places for us to check out (many of which purchase 4 Hands beers...how convenient, right?) I asked him if it was okay for me to take pictures of the decor and he said it was no problem. He asked if I had gotten a picture of the brew room and I told him I had taken one through the window earlier. He looked at me with a big grin and said I could do better than that and took us (ALL of us) on our own little private tour. It was really cool. Not long after that, we called it a night.
I feel like our first Wobbler Club meeting was a success! Everyone was throwing out great ideas for the next one and really seemed to be invested in the idea of The Wobbler Club. I am already stoked about the next one! Oh where will it be? :)
