Dudes Dining & Destinations

Saint Louis, MO

Dudes Dining & Destinations
**PLEASE read all of this:** Welcome to Dudes, Dining, & Destinations! We're a group for **men-interested-in-men** who want to connect with like-minded guys and make new friends. We're all about expanding our social circle. Our main thing is dining out and we pick restaurants in the St. Louis area to suit various budgets. However, we also want to spice things up with fun activities like attending local events, enjoying live theater, or maybe bowling or mini golf. If you have an event or idea in mind, feel free to share it with us. Typically, we have two monthly events with a primary focus on dining out, but stay tuned for other interesting possibilities. **Important things to consider:** **RSVPs are essential to ensuring an accurate headcount.** Restaurants need to plan on sufficient help and food to accommodate our group. Therefore, no-shows end up costing them. Also, keep in mind that someone on the waiting list has an opportunity to go if you update your “going” status to “not going.” If you don’t show up without letting us know, they miss out. **If you have to cancel,** please do so before the day of the event. This way I can let the restaurant know in time for them to adjust their plans accordingly. **If the event is filled up, don’t worry!** You will automatically be placed on the waiting list. As the event date approaches, make sure to check your status. **Be courteous and patient.** Also, **make sure to order something.** And remember to **tip generously**, as our events require extra hard work from the waiting staff. We want to ensure a positive experience for everyone. **These are usually family-friendly restaurants,** so keep your language family-friendly—especially when little ears are near. **Be mindful of attire.** We look for affordable but nice restaurants. Sometimes (especially in summer), a nice T-shirt is OK. But more often, casual attire would be more appropriate. **It’s not about cruising. It’s not about hookups.** Our objective is to socialize and have fun in environments that are an alternative to the bar scene. The events are opportunities for guys to hang out and meet new friends where sex and alcohol aren’t what it’s all about. Of course, if you hit it off with someone who shares your interests, that's fantastic! But keep in mind that isn’t the primary purpose. **Hate has no place in our group.** Dudes, Dining, and Destinations is a pro-diversity, anti-racist Meetup group. **Smoking is not allowed at any of our events.** **Thanks for joining** us! We can't wait to see you at our next dining event.
