Silent Book Club Seattle @ The Ink Drinker

Welcome to our second meet up at The Ink Drinker, a book-themed bar in Ballard and a most welcoming place to read in public. We are establishing this event on the second Thursday of every month, with a later start time befitting the pre-weekend meetup date.

Whether you’re diving into a gripping novel, finishing your latest nonfiction pick, or simply savoring a few quiet moments with a book, this welcoming gathering is the perfect way to enjoy reading in good company. Bring your favorite read, a friend, or just yourself. All book genres, reading mediums, and readers 21+ are welcome!

📅 Event Schedule ⏳ 7:15 - 7:30 → Arrive, settle in, and purchase a beverage - please support our host venue! ***Arriving after 7:30 pm may not ensure optimal or available seating.*** 📖 ~7:45 - ~8:00 PM → Introduce yourself (name+location, what you’re reading). 🤫 ~8:00 - 9:00 PM → Silent reading time. 🍾 9:00 PM onwards → Optional social time.

🔹 RSVP & Event Guidelines ✔ No assigned reading – Bring any book you’re currently enjoying (physical, e-reader, or audiobook with headphones). ✔ RSVP REQUIRED – To help us coordinate space and seating, please RSVP. It's ideal to arrive as close to 6:30 pm as possible for optimal+available seating. We are currently capping RSVPs at 75 to account for the usual number of no-shows - this may be adjusted in the future as we get a better idea of what the typical attendance is like. ✔ Feeling unwell?
