Meet New People, 50+ Board Games & After Dark Specials | Ages 25–45

December is here, and it's a lovely time to get out, meet some new faces and make room for a few new connections before the year comes to an end. ❤️

Join us for a professionally hosted social evening where you don't have to worry about who to approach or how to get conversations started. Our host guides you through short conversations, rotations and interactive connection rounds, making it easy to meet different people and discover common interests in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

We're back at Stout Irish Pub in Cabbagetown — a relaxed Irish pub with food, drinks and 50+ board games, giving you plenty of ways to keep socialising after the hosted rounds.

🤝 What to Expect
7:00 PM — Welcome & Drinks
Meet your host, Faye, grab a drink and settle in.
Coming alone? You're in good company! Many guests attend solo, and we'll help you feel comfortable and get connected from the start.
7:30 PM — Fast Friends
Time to meet some new people!
You'll take part in a series of short, guided conversations, with rotations that give you the opportunity to meet different people throughout the evening. Our host keeps everything flowing, so you can simply relax and enjoy meeting others.
✨ Themed Connection Rounds
We'll also bring in interactive themed rounds and conversation prompts covering interests, experiences, travel, hobbies and more.
They're designed to help you move beyond introductions, find unexpected common ground and get conversations flowing naturally.
🎲 8:30 PM onwards — Board Games & Socialising
The hosted rounds may finish, but the evening doesn't have to!
Stout has 50+ board games available. Choose a game with the people you've met, join a group, grab another drink or simply continue chatting.
You don't need to be a board game enthusiast — they're just another fun way to break the ice and spend more time together.
