The Stags Head Pub off Shepherd has a small meeting room that is free to reserve I believe. It's a great meeting place, has a door and a bunch of tables. Wifi too, if I remember right. They've got food, sodas and 20+ beers on tap.
Similarly, I've been to meetings and mixers across the street at The Davenport and McElroys. They're not as secluded as Stags Head, but at their non-busy times, it's pretty good. No food and I not a large tap selection either, though.
