**[Early Bird Discount](www.eventbrite.com/e/1987332173027/?discount=Meetup)** ### ✨ What Is the Social Pub Crawl? A relaxed and social pub crawl designed to help people connect naturally while enjoying a night out in Dublin. This is **not a massive party crawl** and not a tourist tour. It’s a friendly, international experience where drinks, short social games and good conversations come together in an easy and natural way. Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group. ### 🍻 How It Works We’ll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30–40 minutes in each one**. At every stop, the organizer will run a **short and simple social activity**. These games are designed to: * Break the ice naturally * Help people interact without pressure * Work well in busy, noisy pubs Between activities, there’s plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. 🏆 In each activity, points are awarded to several participants. At the end of the night, **the 3 people with the most points win a free drink**. ### 🍀 Who Is This Event For? Absolutely everyone. New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people — all are welcome. You don’t need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be “good at games”. The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way. ### 💬 A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going. Come alone or with friends — you’ll feel comfortable from the very beginning. To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**. ### 🕕 Practical Details • **Time:** 19:00 – 22:30 • **Group size:** Limited • **Location:** In front of the Odeon!

An informal training session to explore different methods of old style karate and traditional Japanese swordsmanship. We will practise kata (forms), both solo and paired drills along with more basic exercise to understand body mechanics We split the room rent, which will cost **€10 - 20 per person**, depending on the number of participants It is also a great opportunity for those who are interested in Japanese culture, as the arts are based on our traditional way of life. If you have previous experience, we can share thoughts about different training styles and exchange ideas & techniques This is a private training group that does not belong to any organisations.

We are organizing our first brunch and we chose a place that is really important to us: Wallace Asti. We’ve been there 2 or 3 times already and have never been disappointed, not even a bit. Wallace Asti has invented a new type of Brunch, the Pizza brunch, where we can have tiramisu pancake, paninazzo, granola, poached eggs served on pizza dough flatbread, etc..... and it's delicious! I treid it already! When we received their invite to participate in this initiative, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try something new. We have never organized a brunch before, and doing it in such a novel format covering pizza felt like the right way to start. Please invite your friends, family, dogs, cats and aliens. RSVP is only valid here: [https://www.wrgm.cc/events/pizza-brunch-at-asti-wallace](https://www.wrgm.cc/events/pizza-brunch-at-asti-wallace) Gianni
