Friday Night Friend Mixer: Hollibar

Start the weekend with a relaxed Friday night social designed to help you meet new people without the awkwardness. This event is for anyone who wants to make friends but doesn’t want to walk into a room and feel lost. We’ll create a warm, welcoming environment with simple icebreakers, BeSocial prompt cards, and small group conversations so it’s easy to start talking. You can come alone — many people will. The event is designed so no one has to figure it out by themselves. We’ll help people move into small groups, introduce themselves, and connect over shared interests, weekend plans, and the kind of friendships they’re hoping to build. Whether you’re new to BeSocial or have been wanting to attend an event for a while, this is a fun and easy way to start your weekend around people who are also open to real connection. **Perfect for:** people who want a social Friday night, first-time event attendees, young professionals, new-to-city users, and anyone looking to meet friends in a relaxed setting. **Please note that downloading our app is a requirement for attending the event.** The app will be used throughout the event for prompts, activities, and other interactive content so having it ready will ensure you can fully participate. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/besocial/id6759604739 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appetiser.besocial&hl=en **Event photography and videography may take place at this event.

BeSocial. Brunch and New Friends

Meet new people over good food, easy conversation, and a relaxed weekend brunch. This event is designed for anyone who wants to make new friends in a warm, low-pressure setting. Instead of a loud or overwhelming social event, we’ll keep things simple: a small group, a welcoming table, and friendly conversations that help everyone feel included. You can come alone — most people will. We’ll use a few light BeSocial prompts to make introductions easier and help conversations move beyond the usual “what do you do?” small talk. Whether you’re new to the area, rebuilding your social circle, or just looking for more genuine connection in your week, this is a simple and enjoyable way to meet people who are also open to friendship. The goal is to leave feeling like you shared a good meal, had real conversations, and maybe found someone you’d like to catch up with again. Perfect for: brunch lovers, first-time attendees, people new to the area, young professionals, and anyone wanting an easy weekend way to meet new friends. **Please note that downloading our app is a requirement for attending the event.** The app will be used throughout the event for prompts, activities, and other interactive content so having it ready will ensure you can fully participate. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/besocial/id6759604739 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appetiser.besocial&hl=en **Event photography and videography may take place at this event.
