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.
To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**.

Ciorcal ComhrĂĄ sa chlub, beginners welcome!
Dear fellow Gaeilgeoiri,
Cead mile failte / a warm welcome to this group of Irish language lovers and enthusiasts. Hope you will enjoy everything it has to offer and feel free to suggest new events, and, why not step in as an event organizer?
What this group is not:
- A group limited to those with perfect proficiency in the language, where any single word of English is banned, and where you will get corrected for every sĂ©imhiĂș that, God forbid, you might be forgetting
What this group is:
- A forum of Gaeilge enthusiasts willing to share their interest and love of the language. We all started learning a language, including our own, from scratch at some point in our lives. Absolute beginners are welcome and should not feel intimidated. Near perfect and native Irish speakers are also welcome to share their vast knowledge of the language. Hopefully this will create a thriving community of lovers of the language at any level.
Beir bua

Page to Screen - Project Hail Mary
Hi all.
We propose to see Project Hail Mary at the Lighthouse on the 22nd March at 3pm. A few of us have read and enjoyed the book (from the same author of the novel the Martian), but the film has gotten decent reviews, so it should be worth seeing either way.
Details and tickets here:
https://www.lighthousecinema.ie/film/project-hail-mary
Optional drinks, food etc before/after the film :)
TOG Open Social
Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors.
If youâve never been in before, weâll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that youâd like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside!
[https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc](https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc)
Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is leftâŠâŠusually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!
Free Seed and Plant Swap
Itâs a New Year and Spring is almost upon us. Many of us at TOG are keen vegetable growers and weâre now looking forward to the growing season ahead. The harvest last year was super, so letâs hope for a repeat. Join us at TOG for a free seed and plant swap from 3 PM.
We'll be planting lots of seeds on the day and hopefully no one will go away empty handed. We have lots of pots and we'll have a bag of potting compost too. If you have anything surplus that you'd like to share, why not bring it along.... seeds? plants? cuttings? We'd love to hear your own stories of what you like to plant in your own garden or space. Tell your friends and family about the event. If you're involved with any community gardens, then definitely tell them also. The kettle will be on all day with plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits.
From 7PM that same day, itâs our regular monthly Open Social event which you are welcome to join also. Thereâll be pizza and plenty of chat and craic as usual. TOG is a non-profit space run by unpaid volunteers. Donations are always welcome.

Dinner & a Movie: PROJECT HAIL MARY at Marcus Pickerington!
Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Hereâs a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U
BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an âold school blockbuster crowd-pleaserâ and âa new sci-fi classic!â Itâs âdeeply hopeful,â well-acted,â funny,â âdramatic,â and âexceptionally rousing throughout!â Others call it âsomething truly magicalâ and one that âweâll be talking about this one for decades to come!â And I believe Slashfilm says it best: âIt will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.â
