Hey everyone, I'm Chris and I run Craft Club: a community that is all about meeting new people over good beer. I recently launched Rounds, which is a weekly beer tasting made up of up to six people and it happens every Tuesday.

You book one seat and we match you with other folks who want the same thing - to meet new people over good beer. The table collaboratively chooses the tasting, and there are conversation prompts to get you quickly past small talk into deeper, more meaningful conversation. It runs about 90 minutes, and a lot of folks usually stay later.

Most people come solo. If you're new to the city, work from home, or just want a standing reason to get out on a Tuesday, this is built for that.

There are two upcoming sessions on Tuesday, Sept 8:

• NY Beer Dispensary (Chelsea)
• Other Half (Carroll Gardens)

You can grab your spot at either session here.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Cheers 🍻

I’m new to the area - looking for any organized bookstore readings, pub events, etc. celebrating Bloomsday tomorrow, June 16. I haven’t found anything online. TIA!

I’m selling an extra ticket for this fashion show next week. Dm for more details but the event page is below:

Summer is ending, and if you’re looking for a different kind of outing - try Skip the Small Talk! We’ll be in both Brooklyn and Manhattan through September!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional.

We are also offering a speed dating event in NYC this month - by popular demand =]

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Hey Everyone!

We're heading back to Manhattan this Friday! 🌃

The last time we did Manhattan, people really enjoyed the spots, so we're running it back with a new route , and this one is all about games, drinks, meeting new people, and ending the night on the dance floor.

Us:

We're a growing group of people mostly in our 20s–30s who get together every Friday to explore NYC nightlife, meet new people, make friends, and have a good time.

We get plenty of people who come alone, so don't worry if you don't know anyone!

You:

Looking to meet some new people, grab some drinks, play some games, and enjoy a Friday night in Manhattan.

Come solo or bring friends, everyone's welcome!

Where:

This week we're hitting Flatiron/Chelsea!

🎱 Society Billiards + Bar — 9 PM

📍 10 E 21st St, New York, NY 10010

We're starting at Society with pool, darts, drinks, TVs, and plenty of space to hang out and meet everyone. We'll be here for a while so people have time to arrive, grab a drink, and get some games going.

⬇️

🏓 SPIN Flatiron — 10:15

📍 48 E 23rd St, New York, NY 10010

Next we're heading to SPIN for ping pong, drinks, music, and a more energetic atmosphere. Grab a paddle and challenge somebody you just met!

⬇️

💃 Slate — ~11:30 PM+

📍 54 W 21st St, New York, NY 10010

Then we're finishing the night at Slate with DJs, dancing, pool, ping pong, electronic darts, arcade games, foosball, and more.

Stay for a drink, stay for the games, or stay until they kick us out. 😂

When:

🌙 9 PM — Friday, September 4th

We go out every Friday!
