What we’re about
Home of Mid-Week Crisis and Sunday Drinks - we're a group of friends organizing events where the only goals are to hang out, have good conversations, and make friends!
Our group and events are open to anyone, but our ambition is to be a place for immigrants who are committed to Amsterdam for the long-term, and locals who want to meet new people. When we first moved to Amsterdam, we were looking for smaller, more intimate meetups with more regulars, and decided to create our own group for exactly that.
We aim to create a close-knit and welcoming environment where you feel at home immediately, and are always looking forward to the next event - and would love your feedback if that was not the case!
We have a zero tolerate policy for sexism, racism, homophobia, harassment and creepy/inappropriate behavior. Our meetups are NOT singles/dating events. If you notice any behavior at our events that make you or anyone else uncomfortable, please do not hesitate to reach out to the organizers - we can only act on it if we know about it!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Midweek Crisis Drinks 🍹 Meet Fellow Expats & Make Friends (Grachtengordel)Duke of Tokyo, Amsterdam
Hi everyone!
We are going back to one of the venues you've liked the most - one of the coolest bars in Amsterdam!
Join us at Duke of Tokyo for an evening of fun - just walk in, get a drink, meet fellow expats and make new international friends! We have a dedicated area of the bar (in fact, most of the bar) just for us.
The venue offers very good drinks - Japanese-style and more!
See you all there!
DONATION TIKKIE
As we're not paid by the bars to organize this event, a donation to help us keep it going is much appreciated. Even just 1-2€ will do! Thank you! ❤️

- ☀️ XXL Picnic ☀️ @ Vondelpark - multiple meetup group collaborationVondelpark - We will meet at the PICASSO statue., Amsterdam
Sunny days are here, and you know what that means:
It's time for our annual XXL Picnic!Every Summer, multiple communities get together to hold some epic picnics in Amsterdam's city parks. We're kicking off this season's picnics in Vondelpark. This is a great networking opportunity for everyone to learn about other awesome social communities led by amazing organisers.
This event is a collaboration with:
- The Amsterdam Expat Meetup Group
- Hobbyists Community
- Hikes & Pictures
- Amsterdam Parties
- Amsterdam Socials for Travelers & Locals
- TheShadow Community
- Amsterdam City Social Meetup
- Amsterjamming
- The Passionate Philosophers
- Let's Speak Dutch
Come join us to chill and soak in the summer weather! Starting at 2 PM, Paula and her Hikes & Pictures community will do a city walk from the Central station to our picnic location in Vondelpark. If you live outside of Amsterdam and are taking the train here, this is a fun way to get to the picnic and make some new friends along the way!
Bring your own drinks and food to the event. Also consider bringing a blanket/mat to sit on, cups, cutlery, games, your bluetooth speaker... And layers of clothing, because we all know what the Amsterdam weather can be like.
If you play an instrument feel free to bring it. Musicians from the Amsterjamming community will be doing a small jam session.
Fan of philosophy? There will be a philosophy corner led by Dev and The Passionate Philosophers.
NOTE: This event will happen only in good weather. If the weather is less than ideal, we'll postpone it to another day!
