science cafes are all about atmosphere
where else can you discuss marine
biology with the marine biologist over a
glass of beer where else can you
contemplate theoretical physics with a
physicist while sipping on your large
caramel mocha maiato I'll tell you
where
nowhere
mhm
nowhere so location is important the
right setting for your Cafe should
immediately invite your attendees to
come in relax and share their thoughts
you should choose a place that people
are genuinely excited to come to so what
makes a cafe really interesting and
unique is that you you're talking about
these big science ideas not in a lecture
hall not in a classroom but you're doing
it you know at your local favorite
restaurant or a local pub or even you
know a coffee house so there are places
where people that you know congregate on
their own you're kind of just adding
this element of of science discussion
within
it before booking a venue make sure to
visit it in
person consider things like the size of
the
space
Acoustics seating and accessibility
and the availability of audio visual

equipment visiting the venue in person
also allows you to speak with the
location owner or manager be sure to
review some key information when talking
to
them if you can reserve the venue
discuss potential dates and times most
bars and restaurants will probably
prefer you to come in on off nights
during the week as they may be too busy
or already book during
weekends schedule an exact block of time
to hold the cafe and confirm when you
are allowed to start sitting up and when
you have to
leave try to estimate how many people
you expect to attend the cafe and
confirm how many people the venue can
realistically
fit finally if you're considering bars
or restaurants confirm that the bar will
be open and the kitchen will be staffed
during your
Cafe food and drinks are a great way to
keep attendance happy and bring in more
business for the
venue for more information on finding
the right location for your science Cafe
