After Work Drinks San Francisco

Unwind with community over after-work drinks in San Francisco

Marin Brunch Club: RH Rooftop (Memorial Weekend)

Marin Brunch Club: RH Rooftop (Memorial Weekend)

Sun, May 24, 7:30 PM
From Marin Brunch Club

A small, intentional group for people who’d rather linger over a good meal than be one in a crowd. We’re keeping this one intimate: just 6 seats. It’s for people who want to actually get to know the people across the table. What to expect: A relaxed, unhurried Sunday brunch at one of Marin’s most beautiful rooftop spots. Good food, good conversation, no agenda. We’re building something slow here—a small group of regulars who actually look forward to seeing each other. The vibe: Think sophisticated-casual. You appreciate a nice glass of wine but you’re not here to make a day party of it. You’d rather swap travel stories, trade book and show recommendations, or debate what is the best local hidden spot. You value quality over quantity. To reserve your spot: Spots are first-come, first-served and capped at 6. There will be a $20 deposit to secure your RSVP hold after you sign up. All deposits will be returned to you at brunch or if you cancel with more than 24 hrs notice. Why the hold? Small groups only work when everyone shows up. This keeps us accountable to each other from day one. Hope to see you on the rooftop. ☀️

The Friday Night Exhale: Tacos & Taps

The Friday Night Exhale: Tacos & Taps

Sat, Jun 6, 1:00 AM
From Pints & Perspectives: Social for late 30's-early 50's

**The Friday Night Exhale @ Wondrous Brewery in Emeryville** Let’s kick off the weekend by trading our professional hats for something a bit more human. Join us for a night of good craft and real conversation. We spend enough time being "on" in our careers—tonight, let’s just be people. I’m looking forward to hearing about your favorite travel memories, the music that gets you through the week, or the board game you're secretly a nerd for—the stuff that makes you *you* outside of the office. **The Details:** * **The Vibe:** Low-stakes and high-quality. Let’s leave the LinkedIn talk, business cards, and politics at the office. We’re here to exhale, not debate! This group is open to all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. * **Seating:** We’re capping under 20 people across a few smaller tables in the outdoor area so we can move around and keep the conversation flowing. * **Food:** BYO-Eats! There's a Mexican spot on the corner with great tacos—feel free to grab some and bring them over! * **Furry Friends:** The patio is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your pup. * **The Fun:** I’ll be bringing a few board games and conversation starters to break the ice. Look for me in the **brown boots and jean jacket** when you arrive—I can’t wait to meet you! *** ***
