Tampa Make New Friends Happy Hour 😎

Whether you're new to Tampa, a longtime local, or just visiting, join us 👋 for a relaxed social hangout to meet new people and make new friends.

No agenda — just friendly people 😊 coming together to chat, grab food or drinks, and enjoy good conversation in an easygoing atmosphere. Feel free to move around and join different conversations as they flow naturally.

Look for the black/red MNF signs and people wearing name tags. We may be indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather — both are great options here.

If you feel anxious about meeting new people or coming solo, please introduce yourself to us hosts so we can give you a warm welcome and help connect you 🤗 with others. Many people come alone, especially if they’re new to Tampa, and there’s absolutely no pressure to drink (plenty of water and NA options available).

If you have any questions, please post them in the comments, and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
See you there!
