Is there a cost to attend the meetup?

There is no cost to attend the meetup, but you’ll need to purchase your own drinks at the bar. You pay for your drink when you order to prevent any mistakes or forgotten bills, which makes things easier for both the bar and for you.

How many people (can) attend the meetup?

The terrace has 16 seats available, but if they are filled, newcomers can go inside, and the event will take over the entire bar. In Winter it is high season and it gets incredibly busy.

You can bring your dog to the terrace, but unfortunately you can not bring your dog inside the bar, for safety reason. Join us at Mazu Street on Wednesday’s, for our other weekly community meetup, which is dog-friendly.

What is the format of the meetup?

There’s no guided conversation, and no forced or forbidden subjects. It’s a full social event, to meet new and like-minded people. The event starts off quite calm and is perfect for newcomers to chat. As the night goes on, it gets busier and harder to have a conversation. It’s recommended for newcomers to come at 8PM to get the most out of the event. The host usually leaves around 10PM.
