**This Saturday at 4:30pm!**
Weโll be meeting at **R.I.O.T.**, in a brilliant private space downstairs. Itโs a much bigger setup than before, with room for **up to 120 people**, so thereโs more space to mingle, move around, meet new people, and settle into conversations naturally.
The vibe is exactly what Mishmash is about: international, social, and fun. Great atmosphere, proper pub energy, and plenty of space for chats, laughs, and spontaneous connections.
๐ **How to find us:**
Come into R.I.O.T. and take the stairs on the left down to the basement room. Thatโs where the Mishmash crew will be waiting for you.
๐ **Theme: โInternational Mishmashโ**
A chill space for people from all over, including Ireland, to swap stories, share laughs!
