Social

Grab a pint and a feline friend and meet us at the pub. Your cat might be under 21, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t drink! Let’s unwind after work with paws and pints at a local happy hour. With Valentine’s Day coming up, wearing red or pink (either youself or your cat) Is encouraged! Feel free to come with or without a cat and get ready to socialize and raise a glass with fellow cat lovers. 🍻 This is a great opportunity to make new friends. If you get there before 7, happy hour will still be going on. Drinks cost $3 to $5! I will order some appetizers for the table. This place is super chill and lets cats inside (I chatted with the workers, they LOVE pets) so we will be meeting inside unless the weather is really good. Due to this we probably will be keeping the cats in their carriers for the most part if we are inside. I will be bringing my cat Misty and we would love to meet you! If you bring your cat, make sure they are wearing a collar, harness, leash, in a backpack, carrier, and/or stroller. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! 🅿️ Parking: Parking is available at two different parking garages in the Rockville Town Center: Garage A Entrances located off of Maryland Avenue and 355. Garage B Entrance located off of Maryland Avenue. Parking is free for the first 90 minutes and after that it is $3 for up to 3 hours. You pay at a kiosk in the garage before you leave and present the ticket at the exit. There is some street parking but not a lot. Ⓜ️ Metro: The bar is walking distance from the Rockville station off the red line towards Shady Grove. Heads up: this is a loud environment so I would not recommend this event for cats that are not used to being out and about.

Spend a little time with each one, during a series of 6-minute Pre-Dates. Then tell us who you'd like to speak with again & we'll do the rest!

According to the New York Times, at a speed dating event, people like 2-3 out of 10 people they meet. Online daters only match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. This is the best way to meet new people, and it works! Just ask the thousands of people that have met at our events and had successful relationships and marriages. **WHAT DOES IT COST?** We put a lot of time and effort into creating the best singles events possible, so we collect a fee for our hard work. Our events are an excellent value at about $3 per introduction. Get your ticket for the best singles event in town. **NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:** We post our events on various platforms. Our events often sell out, so expect plenty of fellow singles, regardless of the numbers you see here :) So what are you waiting for? Join us for some fun conversation with great new people... and maybe something more!

📚 Do you love reading, but wish you had a structure and a community to share your insights with? Join our small circle of curious minds (just 4 members per gathering) as we come together for an hour of focused reading—in the calm setting of a library or the cozy atmosphere of a café. Here’s how it works: First part: Quiet reading on your own—bring a book you’re exploring, whether it’s philosophy, history, psychology, literature, or anything meaningful to you. Second part: We regroup and each person shares key takeaways, insights, or questions sparked by their reading. This sparks a structured yet free-flowing conversation around ideas, perspectives, and personal reflections. Why join? Add structure to your reading habit. Discover new books, authors, and ideas through others’ choices. Build real connections by sharing and listening deeply. Socialize around something meaningful instead of small talk.
