Friendships aren't made in a single night.

They're built by seeing each other again.

Every Friday night in Milan, an after-dinner get-together to meet new people and see them again the week after. Explore our signature Classics too, where psychology, reading, and fun come together for one-of-a-kind evenings.

First time? Come with a female friend.

A Friday after-dinner table at Eroica Caffè: people laughing and chatting around a long wooden table.

The after-dinner

Every Friday at 9:30 pm, at a bar in Milan that changes from week to week. It is our regular hangout spot, the little square where we catch up: come whenever you want, with no subscription and no commitment.

  1. You arrive. We welcome you at the door and introduce you to everyone who's there.
  2. We have a drink. We chat, get to know each other, everyone at their own pace.
  3. We play, if you feel like it. The evening is relaxed, and we suggest conversation starters and a few games.

Friendships aren't made in a single night: that's why we meet again every Friday.

Who's there

The average age is 30–35: curious people who enjoy smart, playful conversation in a light-hearted way, never superficial. Some have been coming for years and others are joining for the first time, almost always on their own.

Questions

Where is it?

In Milan, in an easy-to-reach bar. It changes from week to week.

What time?

Friday evenings, after dinner. We start at 9:30 pm.

How much does it cost?

Nothing to join us: you only pay for whatever you order at the bar.

Can I come on my own?

Yes: most people come on their own the first time. If you prefer to break the ice with a female friend, bring her along.

How many people are there?

Usually twenty to thirty people, seated at tables so everyone can actually talk.

I don't speak Italian. Can I still come?

Yes! At the Friday after-dinner and on our day trips there are always plenty of people who speak English too. Our Classic events (the moderated games) are held in Italian instead.
