Prose & Pints

A reading social at the pub.
One big table. A collection of good reads. A few uninterrupted hours. And conversations waiting to happen.

When was the last time you spent a few hours reading without checking your phone, thinking about your next meeting or wondering what to watch next?

We’re bringing back the simple pleasure of reading, but with a social twist.
Welcome to Prose & Pints, a reading social where books meet pub culture.

What happens at Prose & Pints?
We’ll bring a thoughtfully curated collection of reading material for you to explore or you can bring a book you've been meaning to finish for so long.

Expect an eclectic mix of:
Books and short stories.
Essays and long-form journalism.
Independent magazines and interesting articles.
Curated newsletters and printed Substack reads.
Unexpected finds that might just become your next favourite read.

Pick something that catches your attention, grab a drink, find a comfortable spot and settle in.

Spend some uninterrupted time reading at your own pace.

When the reading session winds down, we’ll open things up for conversations.

Share something interesting you discovered, exchange recommendations, discuss an idea that stayed with you or simply meet someone new.

The experience
Browse: Explore our curated reading collection.
Pick: Choose whatever catches your curiosity.
Read: Enjoy some uninterrupted reading time.
Connect: Join fellow readers for conversations and recommendations.

Who is this for?
Pretty much anyone who enjoys words, ideas and good company or wants to unrot their brain for few hours.

You don’t have to be a voracious reader. You don’t need to finish a book. You don’t need to bring your own reading material.

Come alone or bring a friend. Introverts, extroverts, occasional readers, book collectors and people who have been meaning to read more are all welcome.

What about the drinks?
We’re meeting at a pub, but drinking alcohol isn’t a requirement.
Beer, mocktails, coffee, soda and other non-alcoholic beverages are equally welcome. Order what you like from the menu.

A few things to know
Reading material will be provided or you can get a book of your choice
You can read whatever interests you from the curated collection.
Phones are encouraged to stay away during the reading session, except when needed.
There is no mandatory group discussion or requirement to finish a book.
Come with an open mind and curiosity.

Good reads. Good drinks. Just like old times.

See you at the table.
