Sounds like just about what happens at the Stammtisch in Berlin. We always meet on the first Monday of every uneven month (so next one will be on March 7, in case you are in Berlin) at 7pm... that is 7pm is the time for which we reserved tables... folks come and go as it suits them, open space style. We always meet at the same Greek restaurant (it started a decade or more ago), here is the link
http://kreuzberger-weltlaterne.com/

in the summer we gather outside.

In fact, there are os-Stammtische all over the planet, some of the known ones you can see here
http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/stammtisch.htm

In German the word Stammtisch can be interpreted in various ways. As far as our Stammtisch in Berlin is concerned, the Stamm in the word means "tribe" and Tisch means "table". So, its the gathering of the local os-tribe gathering around a table for whatever will pass... just as is the style in Melbourne.

By power of being an elder, I declare that anything called yum Cha is suspected to be a Stammtisch.

Hi Michael,

I'm not sure what a Stammtisch is?

However, it was thanks to Brian Bainbridge that the practice emerged of
sitting in a circle at one of Melbournes great Chinese restaurants,
drinking tea (which is what "yum Cha" means in Cantonese, otherwise
known as dim sum) and eating dumplings, pork buns, and what ever
else appeared on the trolleys... All the whilst enjoying the company of
whoever comes.......

Warm regards
Andrew

      is Yum Cha in your language the same or similar to Stammtisch ?

    whatever it is, enjoy!
