The more intimate side of Bridgehouse
up to eight people
Instead of being in a room with thirty or forty people, you sit with around one table in a café or bar and actually get to know each other.
If you enjoy our larger Bridgehouse Eat dinners but wish you had more time to truly talk to people, Bridgehouse Drink is where that happens.
Coffee Meetups
Morning energy and fresh starts
Evening Drinks
Wine, beer, or cocktails
All relaxed, friendly, and real
Created for people who want to connect more deeply
We create small meetups throughout the week in different venues and at different times. You choose the city, the schedule, and
whether you prefer coffee or evening drinks.
Maximum of eight seats
Intimate groups for deeper connection
One and a half to two hours
Perfect length for meaningful conversation
Self guided and natural
No formal structure or assigned host
Locals, expats, and returnees

No formal structure, no assigned host
Everyone shows up as equals, introduces themselves naturally, and lets the conversation unfold. Some tables use optional prompts, but most groups simply chat freely.

Why there is a small
reservation fee
Seats are limited, and every spot matters
When someone reserves a seat and does not show up, it prevents
someone else from joining and affects the entire group dynamic.
To keep things committed and respectful, we ask for a small reservation fee that holds your seat and ensures people genuinely plan to attend.
If you plan on joining regularly, membership is a simple way to help support the community’s growth.

WHAT TO EXPECT
It always stays friendly and respectful.
You arrive and join a table of up to eight people. Everyone introduces themselves casually. The group chooses its own flow. Sometimes the conversation is light. Sometimes it becomes meaningful or surprising.
No pressure to perform, entertain, or impress
Bridgehouse Drink works because people show up as themselves.
