A 'writer's table' at the pub, perhaps, analogous to the Writer's Circle
at the Algonquin Hotel, where Dorothy Parker used to hang out.

Parker was apparently fond of drinking at the Algonquin when she wrote for
New Yorker magazine. The editor of said magazine was notoriously stingy.
When he found her there, he remonstrated and asked 'Why aren't you at
work'? Said Parker:

'Someone else was using the pencil'.
