The popular, very casual

– and free – happy hour lecture series Arlington on Tap returns to downtown Arlington bars and bistros with a 2016-17 lineup that opens Sept. 14 with Mayor Jeff Williams and his vision for Arlington.

Other speakers will include Star-Telegram “Eats Beat” dining guru Bud Kennedy, UTA Athletic Director Jim Baker, humor writer Donna Darovich and one of the creators of Arlington on Tap, long-time newspaper scribe O.K. Carter.

Arlington Proud, the Arlington Historical Society and Arlington Today Magazine sponsor Arlington on Tap.

“We wanted the speakers to be loose, intensely local and to take unusual but informative slants on their areas of expertise that form part of the community fabric,” says Mark Joeckel, CEO of Arlington Proud. “And we wanted to re-acquaint residents with a booming downtown that we think of as everybody’s neighborhood. Nobody leaves an Arlington on Tap session without learning some new and fascinating things.”

Carter, who created Arlington on Tap with Joeckel,

says the reception for the events had been so enthusiastic that what had been something of an experimental effort was extended for a second season.

“It’s a casual world, and we wanted Arlington on Tap to reflect that – no RSVPS, no ties and a bar stool philosophers setting,” Carter says. “But we also feared that no one would show up.”

What happened instead was that every session was well attended to the point of maximum capacity – sometimes more than capacity.

“We had to borrow more than 50 folding chairs for one event,” Carter notes.

Below is the schedule for 2016-17. All Arlington on Taps begin at 6 p.m. and wrap at 8 p.m.
