British Pubs

London's slowest pub crawl. A new pub every Thursday where everyone talks to each other. Because in 2026, you shouldn’t need to join a run club to meet new people. Turn up, grab a drink, talk to new people and see them again next week. Come solo or with friends. Stay for one drink or stay all night. **Coming along? Do these two quick things:** 1. **[RSVP on CircleUp](https://circleup.space)** (not just meetup). Meetup only has some of the crowd, the full community is on CircleUp. 2. **Join our [WhatsApp chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSM3p9yjHpz0O92wEnKVk1)** to find the group & stay in the loop. **How to find the group** Check for updates on our **[WhatsApp chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JSM3p9yjHpz0O92wEnKVk1)** or ask the bar for the booking under CircleUp. **About [CircleUp](https://circleup.space)** Your social life. Sorted. Like a uni society for your 20s & 30s. We're your circle to show up, connect, and keep seeing the same faces. No cliques, no pressure, just a social scene you can step right into. **Most of our plans aren’t on Meetup. Browse the full calendar on [CircleUp](https://circleup.space).** \*\* See the vibe on our [Insta](instagram.com/circleup.uk).\*\*

It's Sunday Karaoke at The Purley Arms. Have been here once before in the past and the DJ was good last time we went. Crowd seemed ok too. So I thought to try it again. Let's chill, relax, socialise and if you dare. can go up and belt out your favourite tune. Or you can just come for a drink and a chat and watch and support the ones that do go up. Learn more about The Purley Arms here: https://www.purleyarms.co.uk/ Closest train stations are Sanderstead and Purley Oaks. Can also walk down from South Croydon station too. There are some buses that go nearby too. Please note: There is a £2.00 meetup fee to go towards meetup subscription fees, payable in coins on the night. There may be a little more numbers attending as this is going to be a joint meetup with one other group.

We’re heading back to Scene75 on Friday, March 27 for a high-energy night of laser tag, mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, and whatever chaos we decide to get into. We’ve done this one before and it was a blast — great turnout, tons of laughs, and just the right mix of competition and hanging out. If you missed it last time, this is your shot. 🎯 What to Expect: Laser tag battles Mini golf challenges Go-karts (for those who need speed) Arcade games & game cards You can load however much you’d like onto a game card. Most people will probably be good with $15–$30, but it’s totally up to you. This is a super casual event — show up, jump into whatever looks fun, rotate groups, and hang out. No pressure, no complicated structure. Just a solid Friday night with good people. Also… I haven’t hosted in a bit and I’m making a push to be more active again. If you’ve got ideas for future events you’d love to do, bring them. I’m all ears. Let’s run it back. 🔥

**This is the biggest party in town!** ***Come help us enjoy the luckiest day of the year!*** The Irish Pub and outside overflow tent have Irish Beer, Whiskey and Food. Inside the giant tent the best local Irish bands perform while Irish dancers parade by and the Columbus fife and drum invade each late afternoon. **COVER CHARGE: $20.00** **4pm** - [Drowsy Lads](http://www.thedrowsylads.com/) Named as “The Best Irish-American Band” the 20 year performing veterans have galvanized their place amongst Irish and folk music’s must see acts. You’ll have a blast… and the band will be arm in arm beside you! **7pm** \- Ladies of Langford Since 1995, [Byrne’s Pub](https://byrnespub.com/) has served as a Grandview hub for all things Irish. In fact, co-owner Pat Byrne even operates a line of craft Irish whiskey, known as Bua. The Grandview Spot is also a huge patron of both Celtic music and bluegrass, as live musical guests from both genres perform at Byrne’s on the regular.

Let's meet at one of our fav clubs for drinks and socializing before the band plays at 9:00pm! SWAGG plays danceable pop and R&B favorites. *No cover*. *No food service* but you can order in or bring takeout. (I'll have a basket of snacks, too) **Parking** in lots surrounding the big red barn (property community center off Hayden Run). **Newbies**: If you want to invite a tagalong guest, add a plus one.

***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too. **Where the Chip Began (1817)** Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.” **Chip and Dip Popularity** The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!) **[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst! **PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street). **PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.
