My suggestion for the requirements for the perfect meeting location:

A public space (open to the public)
An elevator, if on a floor other than the 1st
Open 'ail 1AM
T1+
Public Wifi
Is clean
Has a projector or large screen
seats 25 + equipment
free parking
Located right off a major highway
Located equally inconvenient to everyone (as Hal has said)

    I like meeting in a public location.  Meeting in a place of business
seems to have a few problems.  If it's a tech business, you usually
need a person to vouch for the group, and any random person that
decides to visit.  I don't want the group to get a bad name because
someone did something bad while we were there.
    Pubs/Coffee places can be a problem because mixing food or drink or
smoke and electronics doesn't always turn out well.  I would be
hesitant to bring electronics to a pub because of the cleanliness
factor.
    Parking always seems to come up.  I, personally, haven't had any
problems with it.  If I can't find a parking spot right next to the
building, I can always find one within a block or so.
