Pints & Perspectives: Oysters, Cocktails, & Patio Hang

Sat, Aug 8, 1:00 AM

From Pints & Perspectives: Social for late 30's-early 50's

Kicking off August with our 2nd meetup with a pint, glass of wine, or one of the amazing cocktails or mocktails found in Emeryville (the bartenders are phenomenal!) Heading to Prizefighter in Emeryville for their summer Salty Pearl Friday! Great local food (or you can bring in your own) Good people, relaxed conversation, and laid-back East Bay vibes. Whether you recently relocated to the Bay Area or you’re a longtime local looking to swap some stories and meet some down-to-earth folks, come pull up a chair on the outdoor patio with us. I'll be reserving a few tables and the location is dog friendly so feel free to bring your pup! * **When:** Friday, August 7th at 6:00 PM * **Where:** Prizefighter (3401 San Pablo Ave, Emeryville) - we'll be out on the patio! Come say hello—we can't wait to meet you! ⚠️ **A Quick Note on RSVPs:** Space on the patio is limited, and we want to make sure everyone who wants to attend actually can! At our last meetup, about half of the RSVPs ended up being no-shows. Because our attendee cap was full, it meant some really great people on the waitlist missed out on coming. If your plans change (totally get that life happens!), please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance so I can automatically open up your spot for someone on the waitlist. Thank you so much for helping keep this a respectful and fun community!

20s and 30s Social : Beer Garden + New Friends

Mon, Aug 10, 12:30 AM

From Gist IRL SF

4.7

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/XQSNhNfxL7pogviSKBMJ **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** USE THE LINK TO GET A TICKET ^^ (we had a huge amount of people last time, so max 120 people!) Let's start off the first Sunday of August the right way! ;) Picture this: you're ending the week the way it should be: outside, drink in hand, surrounded by new people who actually feel easy to talk to! This is a space where you show up solo and quickly find yourself laughing, connecting, and settling into a table that already feels like your crew. You will spend the first hour in real one-on-one conversations, seamlessly paired up by the app so you always know exactly who you are talking to next. It's like speed-friending! Every 6-8 minutes, you'll rotate to a randomized new person! The Plan: - 5:30PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 5:35PM - 6:35PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your favorite local brews, trivia knowledge, and weekend vibes. - 6:35PM+: Form Groups & head to the beer garden to grab a table and some drinks. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and head to the beer garden to grab a table and some drinks — your group leaves together tonight. Let's skip the usual routine of swapping brewery recommendations and never actually following up. Tonight, we're doing the real thing: grabbing drinks at the beer garden right away, and maybe you'll even meet the perfect group for exploring new local breweries and beer gardens together this season. And when you want to plan your next tasting, you can easily reach out to everyone through the app without ever having to share your personal phone number. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/XQSNhNfxL7pogviSKBMJ **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**
