So here's the problem. We have 1 gaming store in my city, but for reasons I won't say, I don't much care for it. I also don't think they participate in Pathfinder Society, as they're mostly a Magic store. I actually have a retailers license, but I don't have a store location (boot strapping, yay). I sell to local players, not online. I want to run events, especially like the Pathfinder Card Game, but I lack a location to actually do so. Where would be a good place to run a game? If I could afford it, I would try to rent a hotels conference room, but my wife would probably strangle me and I'm not sure how much they charge (mental note: check up on that).
Anyways, I'm derailing. Does anyone have a location neutral place to set up and play with others and meet up?
A restaurant that had a private room might work. My wife is in a book club and a restaurant in town lets them meet in a large private room upstairs. I don't think they even pay for it. But everyone does order food and beverages. But you could see if there was a night where they weren't busy and would be willing to let either use or rent the room.
Or how about a community center? They might have a room available to use/rent.
You can run PFSACG events at a neutral location, but you'll have to buy the scenarios online a month after they get released, unless you can become a VL (PFSACG or PFS). You'll still be able to report them for PFSACG credit.
Are you sure you can't find a close store at the retail locator here? http://paizo.com/paizo/about/retailers
EDIT: you're talking about locations to host? How about the local library? Community centers are also good like hawkmoon said.

zeroth_hour, all at least 1 hour away from me. I'll see if I can be a VL.
Hawkmoon269, of all the luck. There was a place with a party area right beside my house, but they were forced to close due to being forced out to make room for a wal mart. Sigh. Good idea though, I'll see if there's any other place with a party room. I have a couple of ideas in mind already. Good call.
Thanks guys, and if anyone else has any ideas, feel free to share.
EDIT:
ThreeEyedSloth, also a good idea. Thank you. =)

I second the library idea. It appears Hastings is getting into card game organized play as well so if you have Hastings in your area,you might want to check with them (note to self, still need to check on my end with our local Hastings). We have run PFS at hobby stores successfully out here as well. We have a thriving gaming community that meets at a cool coffee and wine shop. If you find a place like that, its awesome as you can also get your food/drink fix in while you play. =)
Hopefully this helps.
As an aside: I wish people would share a general location of where they are talking about. The pacific northwest of the US can be very different from Brazil or the UK or wherever. ;) A general idea of where you are located could help in coming up with good suggestions....
As a suggestiong we play in the lounge of a pub on a Monday evening when they are normaly very quite after the weekend. So its just the cost of a few drinks each then.
