Time to unwind. 🌆🍻 **Once a month on Thursday**, we’re getting together after work. The location may change from month to month, but the idea stays the same: friendly people, good conversation, drinks, and an easy way to meet people after work. 💛 We want this to become something you can look forward to every month. 📅✨ 👋 Come solo or bring a friend or coworker. Most people come on their own, which makes it easy to meet everyone. 🕠 **5:30 PM:** Grab a drink and start chatting. 🍺🍷🍸 🍽️ **6:00 PM:** Stay for dinner, another round, or just keep hanging out. 🥂 We’ll help people mix and meet so you’re not left wondering who to talk to. The whole point is to make walking into a room of new people feel easy. 👋💬 🚫 No networking pitches. 🚫 No awkward icebreakers. 🚫 No standing around wondering who you're supposed to talk to. ✅ Good drinks. ✅ Good people. ✅ Plenty of conversation and laughs. ✅ Something social to look forward to every month. 🎟️ **Entry is free!** Just pay for whatever you order. 📲 **RSVP on Bunch so we have an accurate count:** [https://www.letsbunch.com/social-thursdays](https://www.letsbunch.com/social-thursdays) *(25 RSVP minimum on Bunch. Depending on the number of RSVPs, we'll either have that month's Social Thursday or postpone until the following month.)* 💛 **What’s Bunch?** Bunch is built around a simple idea: **anyone should be able to get people together.** Any member can create a hangout around almost anything: coffee, brunch, a walk, drinks, dinner, trivia, pickleball, or whatever else you feel like doing. Other members join, you meet in real life, and the community grows from there. No professional hosts. No endless programming calendar. Just people inviting other people to do things. 💛 **Start Bunching:** [https://www.letsbunch.com](https://www.letsbunch.com/) See you Thursday! 🥂✨ Aleksandra Founder of Bunch 💛
