Half way pub?

Looking for pub suggestions!

My birthday is approaching on a weekday, and I often find these celebrations a bit stressful. I’d love to gather a small group of about 5-10 friends at a nice, not overly crowded pub. I’d prefer a place that doesn’t require reservations due to my anxiety around planning. I’m located in the west, while most of my friends are in the east/northeast. Any recommendations for a good spot that’s conveniently located in between? Thanks!
