November 2026: Happy Hour & Monthly Meeting: The Gärten in Morena

Join Strong Towns San Diego every 2nd Tuesday for our monthly community meeting and happy hour at The Gärten in Morena.

We gather to welcome new members, share local updates, and plan next steps for building a stronger, more financially resilient San Diego, one small bet at a time.

This is our home base for building a better San Diego, block by block, street by street.

Whether you care about walkability, housing reform, ending highway expansions, or better budgeting at City Hall, you’ll find people here who want to get things done. We share updates, host special guests, and collaborate on real solutions to make our city work better for people.

🕕 Time: 6:00–7:00 PM meeting, happy hour to follow in The Gartën
📍 Location: Back patio of Lost Cause Meadery (find the red door - back right corner)
🍕 Food & Drink: Come early to grab food or drinks from Pizza Cassette, Lost Cause Meadery, and Oddish Wine—all great local spots worth supporting. Spending money here helps keep places like this alive—welcoming, walkable third spaces that bring people together. 🍻 Note: Beer from Deft Brewing must stay in the front courtyard—we’ll head there for happy hour after the meeting.

💬 Why Monthly Meetings?

These meetings are where we align our priorities, build relationships, and coordinate local action. Other events like Walk & Talks and pop-ups will continue throughout the city, but this is our consistent place to connect, strategize, and support each other.
