At last the proposed location for the PUBLIB gathering: Zelo. It is accessible from the Skyway, it is also on the corner of Nicollet Mall and 9th Street, across the mall from McCormick and Schmicks. (Technically, it is at 825 Nicollet Mall.)
If you enter from the mall, the bar is to the right, and they have a gorgeous dining room. If you enter from having come off the Skyway, you enter directly into that dining room.
The bartender the day we went, Jeremiah (not Jerry!), raved about how good the food is. They have a nice appetizer menu. If the outside temperature is 60 degrees or above, there will be outside seating.
I will leave the details of the PUBLIB gathering to be posted on that list, I am going to suggest Wednesday at 5 pm.
