Social Pub Crawl
**[Early Bird Discount](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/pub-crawl-tickets-1982511768066?discount=Meetup&keep_tld=true)**
### âš 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.
Itâs 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, youâll quickly feel part of the group.
### đ» How It Works
Weâll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30â40 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, thereâs plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
đ 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**.
### đ Who Is This Event For?
Absolutely everyone.
New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people â all are welcome.
You donât need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be âgood at gamesâ.
The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way.
### đŹ A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere
Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going.
Come alone or with friends â youâll feel comfortable from the very beginning.

Friday Night French Conversation Hour
Bonjour tout le monde!
(English Below)
Je vous propose une soirée, ce vendredi qui vient, à l'hÎtel Junto à Columbus. 19hr. 20 Mars (Vendredi) 2026.
C'est trÚs bien située avec de l'espace extérieur et intérieur, un feu, un café (cafe se ferme à 19h; arrivez tot si ca vous interesse), un resto, et un bar.
Le parking est payé est juste en face au musée des sciences COSI. Il y'en a aussi dans les rues mais un peu plus loin.
Vous n'ĂȘtes pas obligĂ© d'acheter quelque chose, car l'ensemble de l'espace c'est vraiment un grand lobby et de l'hĂŽtel, mais c'est cool.
J'ai parlé avec le management et ils sont ravis de nous accueillir, mais il n'y a pas de place particuliÚre réservé pour nous.
Ce sera Ă partir de 19h jusqu'Ă ?
Moi, je suis Brandon. J'aimerais que ce soit un évÚnement mensuel et si l'espace ne vous convient pas, on peut discuter d'autres options.
Je vais porter une casquette bleue et blanche qui dit "Québec."
Venez nombreux!
A tres bientot
\-\-\-\-
Hello everyone!
Itâs been a long time since weâve had a Friday night French meetup.
I suggest that we meet at the Junto Hotel in Columbus this coming Friday, 20 March (friday) 2026 at 7PM.
Thereâs a great spot with both outdoor and indoor areas, a cafĂ© (which closes at 7 p.m., come a bit early if that interests you), a restaurant, and a bar.
Parking is paid and is located right across from the science museum called COSI. There is additional free and paid street parking around at varying distances.
Itâs a bit expensive, but you donât have to buy anything since the area is really just a large hotel lobby. It's nice though.
I spoke with management, and theyâre happy to welcome us, though thereâs no specific space reserved just for us.
Itâll start at 7 p.m. and go until whenever.
Iâd like this to become a monthly event, and if this space doesnât suit us well, we can discuss other options.
Speaking and understanding French well is ideal but there may be learners there as well.
Iâm Brandon. Iâll be wearing a blue and white cap that says âQuĂ©bec.â
Come find us.
