What we’re about
Welcome & looking forward to getting to know you!
If you are young at heart and wise in the head, balanced, healthy minded individual, and you want to network and have some fun in the Philadelphia area, then you have come to the right place! This is not a singles group, anyone can join!
We have a lot of different types of events, and most of them are designed for our members to meet new friends, network, and enjoy much of what Philly has to offer. These events may vary from interesting cultural events or live music, to simply having fun & meeting new people at a Center City happy hour.
You get to choose which events you want to attend, but please RSVP whenever possible so we know to expect you even if you plan to attend events that do not have a set capacity limit.
As terrific as MeetUp is to meet new people, Facebook seems to be an easier way to stay in touch, so I've also set-up a Facebook group called "Philly Social Adventures" that is geared to Philly area MeetUp friends, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/574330306077914/
Looking forward to meeting you!

Co-Organizer
PS. If you have some ideas you'd like to suggest as MeetUp events or if you would like to become one of our Assistant Organizers, please let me know by emailing me though the MeetUp system and include your contact information as well as the event information.

"Monday Board Games Night is the most fun you can have in Philly on a Monday"
~TripAdvisorlocation: Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen (126 Chestnut Street in Old City)
time: 6pm - 10pm ..... cost: FREE to attendStarting Monday February 12th, we'll be moving our Board Games Night to Glory Beer Bar! The entire evening will run from 6pm to 10pm, starting with Happy Hour which runs until 6:30pm. We will be setting up on the 2nd Floor, a large space with big tables and our own bar where we can order food & drinks!
Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen (126 Chestnut Street)
Ideally located in Old City on Chestnut Street between Front & 2nd Streets, Glory feels both old & new. The exposed brick walls harken to Philly's colonial past, while their selection of many beers, wines, and food are a perfect fit for today's tastes. The affordable menu welcomes all palates, including a number of vegetarian and vegan options! And the tables on the second floor look large enough for both food & board gaming at the same time.Glory Beer Bar & Kitchen has a revolving menu of 36 beers on tap featuring a variety of American and Local Breweries while also offering a wide array of International and Seasonal favorites. In addition to the extensive beer offerings, Glory has a dedicated tap system to red, white and rosé wine. Additionally, skilled bartenders can create a cocktail of your choosing using the finest spirits and freshest ingredients.
I'm seeing these Mondays as the perfect way to start the week -- beers or dinner with friends, plus chill and enjoy board games, maybe meeting some new friends! Kinda what MeetUp is all about, right?
I'll be adding details in the Comments and please feel free to also comment or ask questions. Additionally, you are welcome to mention which games you plan to bring in the comments as well.
Can't wait, see you there!
