MEATSPACE
Buckets of popcorn, a peanut-strewn floor, and VCs as likely to carve their names in the tables as cut a deal. Such is the lore of the Dutch Goose, a Silicon Valley dive bar with an upscale clientele. The Goose has the full complement of Stanford faculty and students, tech-industry bigwigs like Intuit chair Bill Campbell and the Institute for the Future's Paul Saffo, and jock-geeks from HP - all turning sauce time into a powerful networking opportunity. "You see all types here," says Tom Moroney, owner of the venerable bar, where patrons can get a meal and a game of pool for five bucks. "Mercedes-Benz and fur coats, blue jeans and painters." What do they eat? Burgers, chicken sandwiches, and spicy deviled eggs. What are they drinking? Beer, beer, and, natch, beer.
The Dutch Goose: 3567 Alameda de las Pulgas, Menlo Park, California. +1 (650) 854 3245.
