hosted in spaces that care about their crowd.

spaces that originated in Rotterdam, and give every hangout its own character.

A collection of various words and phrases in different fonts, sizes, and colors, arranged in a collage style.

we started this because we missed it ourselves.

a city with so many people, and no low-key way to meet them. not through bars where everyone already knows each other. not by forcing yourself in ‘diner with strangers’. not by swiping through ‘friendship apps’.

we wanted a space, where you just walk in, for the things you love, with people you’re hyped to meet.

an analogue ritual, every month.

hyped to meet you.
