Welcome to London Skeptics in the Pub, the World's largest regular pub meeting (I'm not joking) and the first home of drinking and critical thinking!
"It’s loud, messy and disorganised—and very democratic." - The Economist
"Skeptics in the Pub is one of the great London institutions, where you can see really great people give funny and interesting talks to a room full of drunk nerds." - Ben Goldacre: Bad Science
"The crowd of 200 are not here for the football or a party. They are... a growing movement of rational thinkers who assemble each month to debate everything from conspiracy theories to homeopathy." - Time Out, London
"The basement resembles a drop-in centre for the ideologically disenfranchised and I fall in with a crowd of rowdy professors..." - The Metro
"Skeptics in the Pub in London, which recently met to discuss: "God: The Failed Hypothesis," ... need bigger rooms to accommodate those who find them." - The Washington Post
"Argumentative types – scientists, academics, IT consultants, librarians and a light seasoning of lawyers – crammed into a room above a pub, on a sticky summer evening, wouldn’t do it for most people’s blood pressure. On the other hand, if Big Brother is ruining your summer, you might prefer this." - LabLit
"Unfortunately, I was too far back to see most of the show... but I’d highly recommend getting along to one of these events." - Nature Networks
"[It] does not immediately sound like an enticing group of people. I immediately thought of drunken cantankerous middle-aged men arguing about religion over a warm pint of bitter. But how wrong was I? What a great bunch of friendly people!" - Prof Bruce Hood: SuperSense

To celebrate the first birthday, we're attempting a live recording and broadcast - direct from Skeptics in the Pub. The line-up for the evening will be a panel of speakers each talking on a wide variety of topics - the only rule is that they must be interesting. There even may also be a musical discourse or two.
