What we’re about

From Pulp Fiction: "Be cool!"

We have just one objective: Meet new people.

This group is for Orange County professionals in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. We meet for happy hour on a regular basis, usually on Wednesday or Thursday evenings, at cool places in Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and surrounding areas. The goal is to get together after work, have a cocktail, and meet new people. We already have a core group that come regularly, but we also have new people each time.

This group will only succeed if we have good attendance with fun people. Attendees may get wristbands, making it easy to identify others in the group, if we're in a crowded place. As the organizer, I will try to ensure that all attendees meet everyone else in attendance, so come join us and invite your friends!

Our events normally start at 5:00 PM and go until 8:00 or 8:30. You don't need to arrive by 5:00. That's just when it starts. Come whenever you're available. We'll be there until at least 7:30 PM. Members often have dinner together, but that part is not organized in an official way. Please come with a friendly and inclusive mindset.

Be good to each other!  #OCHappyHour

VENUES: If you represent a restaurant and/or lounge and would like to host one of our events at your venue, please contact the organizer, Patrick Schwerdtfeger. We usually get between 40 and 120 people at our events, and we like upscale places like The Country Club (Costa Mesa), SOCIAL (in either Huntington Beach or Costa Mesa), Hive & Honey Rooftop (Irvine), Sevilla (Costa Mesa), Mesa Lounge (Costa Mesa), Aqua Lounge (Newport Beach), and Lido House Rooftop (Newport Beach).
