Absent - Offline third space and café

Free for members - Become a member → absent.tech/memberships
€5 for non members.

Absent has been building towards a members community. From April, our events are part of that - free for members, open to everyone else with a fee.
If you come to more than one event a month, a membership already pays for itself - starting from €15/month.

Board Game Nights at Absent - A cozy analog living room full of friends & strangers who end up staying a little past closing time each week.

Phones rest in pouches the entire evening. Turns out that's great for connection, who'd have thunk?!

The space fills up with games spread across tables, conversations move with them, and people you didn't know at 7pm are suggesting a rematch by 9.

Strategy games, social games, classics, a few surprises. Bring one you've been wanting to play with people.

Middle Eastern mezze and bowls, craft Dois Corvos beers, Portuguese wines, organic sodas, specialty coffee.

Recurs every week.

First come, first served for walk-ins if space allows.

If you've tried meditating and your mind wouldn't stop racing, then this one's for you. A practical, guided session built from scratch for people who want to make meditation a part of their routine. Led by Reena, who has been meditating daily for years and knows the fastest way to make it actually work for beginners. 40 minutes of guided meditation broken into easy sections. Followed by proper chai - boiled in a kettle, single origin Assam leaves, whole spices, the way it's meant to be made. With the right snacks for the cup. Stay as long as you like afterwards.
