Appleton Pickle Club meets tonight at 6pm!

What is the Appleton Pickle Club?

Looking for a place where bold ideas, weird questions, and progressive minds can actually meet each other off the algorithm?
Same. So we’re reviving something delightfully odd and historically scrappy.

Inspired by Chicago’s original Dill Pickle Club—that gloriously unruly 1920s haven for artists, activists, freethinkers, and folks who (politely) refused to shut up—we’re bringing its spirit to Appleton. But with fewer bootleggers and more NA spritzes.

Expect a monthly mash-up of conversation, curiosity, creativity, and community.
No prerequisites. No gatekeeping. No “well actually” guys.
Just people who care about ideas, progress, and being decent humans.

Whether you’re here to connect, collaborate, or simply hang out somewhere that isn’t yelling about sports—hi, welcome, you’re our people.

You can join the Discord here: https://www.tardigradesbookshelf.com/appleton-pickle-club

📚☕ A good book, a comfy chair, and something delicious to sip.

Our Honey Cinnamon Graham Latte brings together sweet honey, warm cinnamon, and graham cracker goodness in a drink that's both comforting and surprisingly refreshing for those hot summer days. It's the kind of flavor that feels familiar, whether you're getting lost in a novel or catching up with a friend.

Stop by, cool down, and stay awhile. We’ll save a cozy spot for you. 🍯✨
