\*\* Please RSVP - this helps the venue plan ahead and ensure enough space is reserved for us \*\* Hey everyone! Are you a young professional in your 20s/30s looking to meet other LGBTQ+ young professionals? Then we hope to see you at the upcoming Tuesday drinks! Most people come to these drinks by themselves, and half of the people are first-timers, so these evenings are great to meet new people in London. We have tables reserved on the top floor (loft) of The Yard bar in Soho. Go into the Yard, turn left, and head upstairs. Just ask the bar for the tables reserved for the "Meetup". We usually have the tables opposite to the bar. Many have noticed that it can be difficult to meet up with the LGBTQ+ community once you leave university or come to a big new city such as London. For this reason we've decided to start organising drinks for young professionals, intended for those who love to have a drink with like-minded people after a busy day of work. Do spread the word, and bring friends, colleagues and family! Frequently Asked Questions: It's my first time and I'm coming alone, should I be nervous? No, you found the right event! Almost everyone joins these drinks alone and there are always a bunch of first timers. Just grab a drink and say hi to those around the reserved tables and you'll be absolutely fine :) I cannot make it at 7.00pm, can I come later? Yes, definitely! There will always be one of the organisers present from 7.00pm onwards, but most people just join whenever they can. There is no official 'start' so to say, and it usually stays busy till around 10pm-11pm. For first timers it can be easier to mingle if you come before 8pm, when it's not that busy yet. How often are the drinks and where are they held? We have drinks every two weeks from 7.00pm at The Yard Bar in Soho. Sometimes we organise other events such as big nights out, pub crawls and picnics. Just keep an eye on the Meetup page. Is there a dress code? Nope, not at all. Just wear whatever you want. Is there a cost? Only for whatever drinks you buy at the bar. That said, if you enjoy the Meetup, we would really welcome any cash donations to help cover our costs for running the events. However, you will never be directly asked for any money from any of our team. Are the Tuesday drinks for networking? No, the drinks are super casual, and not intended to find your new dream job. We have people from all different professional backgrounds, so it's always cool to hear what others are up to. I don't drink alcohol, can I come? Of course! Since it's on a Tuesday many take it easy, so you won't be an outlier. If you have any questions don't hesitate to pop any of our organisers a message. Looking forward to meeting you all! Xx The young LGBTQ+ professionals team Xx

Tired of the same old pub quizzes that take themselves way too seriously? Yeah… this isn’t that. Welcome to **Chaotic Pub Quiz**: where the questions are questionable, the rules are flexible (at best), and the vibes are *chaotic* ✨ Expect a night of ridiculous trivia, unexpected twists, and just the right amount of friendly competition.

PLEASE NOTE - YOU MUST PURCHASE A TICKET THROUGH https://www.londonprivateclient.com/ The London Private Committee would like to invite you to our May 2026 HNWI Sector Business Networking Reception to be held in the private cocktail lounge of the Sterling Bar at the famous Gherkin and hope you can join us for after-work drinks, canapés and productive business networking to make new contacts and deals.

See photos from our latest events at https://www.londonprivateclient.com/ Please note we take most of our event bookings through our website and EventBrite so the number booked is much larger than displayed on this Meetup page (normally about 50-100 guests).

The "Gay Aprons Only cooking class is back this May. If you are looking for something fun, cheeky, and a little different for your Saturday night? Don’t miss this. This is a playful and social cooking experience designed for gay men who enjoy great food, learning something new, good company, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll kick off the evening with a glass of bubbles and a selection of antipasti to break the ice. Then, together, we’ll dive into preparing a traditional Italian dish from scratch. This time, you’ll learn how to make *Pasta allo Sparone*, filled with ricotta cheese and wild herbs, a unique recipe from the Abruzzo region — known not only for its bold flavours, but also for its unconventional preparation and presentation. It’s definitely something you won’t forget. The class takes place in a cosy private flat near Victoria Station and is limited to a small group of up to 10 people, keeping things intimate and relaxed. Cooking together is the perfect way to meet like-minded people, share laughs, learn new skills… and maybe even flirt a little 😉 And yes — as the theme suggests — we’ll be cooking wearing only an apron (provided on arrival). **What’s included:** * All ingredients for the recipe * Welcome aperitivo with antipasti and a drink * Unlimited Sparkling wine during the class * Aprons and cooking utensils * Cooking tips and guidance * A fun and social evening **Important information:** * Full details will be shared a few days before the event * This experience is for gay men only * Duration: approx. 3 hours (though guests often stay longer to socialise) * Feel free to bring extra drinks if you'd like to continue the evening. * A minimum of 4 participants is required. In the unlikely event of cancellation or rescheduling, you’ll be offered an alternative date or a full refund. **Come hungry, curious, and ready for a memorable night.** Happy vibes, Luca

It was back in 2011 that the very first Dinner Club took place. Here we are 15 years later meeting each month for an evening of food and fellowship. So, the next two Dinner Club meals are to celebrate Dinner Club's 15 years - with this first meal at the lovely L'ulivo Italian restaurant on Villiers Street just next door to Charing Cross Station. *Here at L'ulivo Charing Cross, located in 23 Villiers St (loo-lee-voh), our customers are the number one priority, and we‘ve been taking care of them our way for years. Freshly prepared authentic Italian cuisine is what we love and what keeps our customers coming back. We’ve always endeavoured to provide the best food, service and atmosphere of any London eatery.* *All of the ingredients we use here at L'ulivo Charing Cross are just that: local. We stock our restaurant kitchen in much the same way that we stock our home kitchen, with daily deliveries of fresh ingredients that we select ourselves, at market each morning.* You can check out the A La Carte Menu using the link below. [L'Ulivo menu ](https://www.lulivocharingcross.uk/menu/menu?menu=677) Our evening will begin at 6pm for those that wish to come for a pre-dinner drink at Retro Bar on George Court (just off The Strand). This is a great opportunity to meet and chat to others coming for the meal in a more relaxed and informal setting before going for the meal. Our table at L'Ulivo is booked for 7.30pm. Please meet us there if you are not attending pre-dinner drinks. Our previous meal at L'Ulivo was delicious and the staff were very attentive - so this should be a lovely way to start our 15th birthday celebrations. If you would like to come along for this meal, please RSVP as soon as you can. You will need to pay a deposit of £11. £10 of which will go to your meal and the remaining £1 is split between PayPal and Meetup costs. Meetup will also charge a 'handling fee' that is part of their terms and conditions for hosting the group on their website. I do not need pre-orders for this meal as we will order on the night. Following the meal, for those of us that wish to, we will go on for post-dinner drinks (probably either back at Retro Bar or at Halfway to Heaven). This is a lovely way of rounding off the evening but is also non-compulsory to attend. So, come along and celebrate 15 years years of Dinner Club - it'll be great to see you.

Join Sober Supper Club DC for an intimate group dinner at Summer House Santa Monica in North Bethesda, a sun-drenched, California-inspired restaurant tucked into the Pike & Rose neighborhood. Summer House brings a little bit of the West Coast to the DMV — bright, airy, and built around the feeling of a perfect summer day. The menu is fresh, seasonal, and made for sharing: wood-grilled fish and meats, market-driven salads, hand-rolled pastas, and the famous Cookie Bar stocked with dozens of fresh-baked cookies to close out the night. The space itself feels like a coastal escape — whitewashed wood, abundant plants, and warm light that makes every dinner feel like a vacation. It's a beautiful setting for slowing down, eating well, and connecting around a long table. This dinner is intentionally small to keep conversation easy and the experience relaxed. Our guests typically range from 25–45, and the evening is designed for people who enjoy thoughtful conversation, beautiful food, and a communal table built for a fun sober night in the city. Seating is limited to 10 people maintain an intimate atmosphere. **WHO:** You + 9 Other People **WHAT:** Intimate Group Dinner **WHEN:** Thursday, May 21, 2026 · 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM **WHERE:** Summer House - North Bethesda **COST:** $80/person PREPAID TICKET (Includes dinner, drinks & gratuity) To purchase your ticket on our website instead, head here: [https://sobersupper.club/events/ssc-dc-summer-house-may-21](https://sobersupper.club/events/ssc-dc-summer-house-may-21)
