The Friday after-dinner

A long table in a warmly lit bar with cocktail chalkboards behind: around fifteen people turn and smile at the camera.

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 feel like it, with no subscription and no commitment. It is the first step to join our group of friends: an evening designed for anyone who wants to meet new people and see them again on the following Fridays. Plenty of people at the table speak English too.

  1. You arrive. We welcome you at the door and introduce you to everyone who's there. Even if you come on your own, within a few minutes you're at the table with the others.
  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.

Friendships are not made in a single night: they are built by seeing each other again.

A summer evening outdoors under umbrellas: full tables, people chatting and laughing over drinks.

You arrive on your own, you go home knowing a few more names.

Affinity does not mean thinking the exact same way.

Chatting at Milord

Going beyond the surface, even over a pint of beer.

Not taking ourselves too seriously while talking about serious things.

Listening is the first game of the evening.

No selection at the door, no membership card: you stay if you feel at home.

Questions

What time?

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

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.
