It's pretty straightforward. We're a group of people that like to run and have fun! Every Wednesday we meet at a different local bar throughout San Fran, RUN, and always have the end destination be that same bar, where we cool down and socialize over drinks. If you're in your 20-30s (or just think you can hang) with a fun and outgoing personality looking to meet new people, then come join us! We welcome runners at all different paces.  Everyone can find someone at their pace to run with.  It is …

This group is for guys who are either new in town or just want to meet some cool people. I just moved to the Bay Area and am looking to meet some other guys to do some of the things I enjoy, such as drinking wine, talking about life, playing poker, hiking and playing sports. I've got a great girlfriend so I'm not as interested in going out to bars and scamming on hotties (but we can reminisce about that one time...). If you enjoy conversation and meeting new people, let's all grab a beer or a gl …

A group designed for young adults (ages 21-39) who love the outdoors and camping with other fun people. Camping is done at campgrounds if there is any present. If not, it's not going to stop us. If you love to camp in rain, shine or snow, cook great food and drink around the campfire with other interesting people in the middle of nowhere ... To have application accepted you either need to know organizers or be referred by existing member of the group. You can find them at "Bay Area Hikers (20s & …

Meetup meets Groupon/daily deals, but better. What’s better then great food at nice restaurants? How about enjoying it while meeting new people. What’s even better then that? How about saving 30% to 50% at the restaurants while doing all this. This group is first and foremost about discovering new restaurants and food, meeting new friends, and enjoying an evening in a fun and casual way. But why not also save money while doing it. We take the best of Meetup and married with the deal phenomenon b …

Forget beer and frou-frou martinis. I love scotch! Do you? Let's trade tips, good finds, and go drinking (and dining) together. Are you in?

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …

Happy New Year! I remember you all from the original group that began in Pacifica. My members and meetups were so limited there.  But we had fun while it lasted! I have since moved to downtown San Mateo, and am reviving this group! Let's go drink and chat! I have a few new members that I am extremely excited about.  And even a new fellow organizer!  Coming soon! "San Francisco is a very vegetarian friendly city, and we are so lucky for that! However, on the outskirts of the city, in towns such …

Happy days, Just thought I would throw this out as a posting board for things to do, people to meet and just not be alone during the holidays, and the winter months. The concept is post day trips, outings, movies, public events, not just one type. Thinking a train trip to Old Sacramento, the ferry to the city, ice skating at Embacadero. Walnut Creek. throw in a lunch or dinner, maybe drinks, dancing. Open to suggestions, or recommendations for people new to the area to see or do. Maybe you would …

We are a group of single professionals who love to have fun!

Living Skeptically started as Drinking Skeptically in Berkeley, but since the creator of the group doesn't drink, it needed to expand. Living Skeptically in Berkeley is for hosting gatherings of skeptics, atheists, freethinkers, and doubters in and around Berkeley, CA. The creator, Ursula, lives in South Berkeley, and likes grilling out in her front yard when it is sunny, taking walks around town and hiking, going to movies, theater, and concerts, and attending social and cultural gatherings. Ba …

New to the area? Having trouble finding new friends? Us too! The goal of this meetup is to meet new people in the Bay Area. Whether moving here for a job or moving here right after college, let's face it, it's difficult to meet new people outside of the work environment. We're aiming to introduce new people over drinks in the area, keeping the group size small, and cheap, with a low time commitment.

Hi there! Did you know? 67% of Americans drink. 100% of people have at least one interesting thing they can teach someone else. I think that's why I learn the most interesting things from amazing people over pints at pubs, don't you? Well, you're on meetup to meet people! Me too! Luckily for us, University of Texas at Austin neurobiologist Hitoshi Morikawa published a study last year confirming that "alcohol may actually increase our capacity to learn". Hey, there are hundreds of drinking clubs …

The last Friday of every month we host drinks at our office in downtown San Francisco. The event is focused on socializing with people from the tech, entrepreneur, design and startup community.

Please only join and RSVP if you're in the industry and are interested in networking and socializing with like-minded people. Do not RSVP to an event if you can't come or won't make it, we have limited places each 4th F …

We're SUN. We're single. We stay single because we like it, but we're not obviously weird. We hang out -- get drinks, go to clubs, play cards, race shopping carts (http://youtu.be/FMrIy9zm7QY), and chat. A lot. We're unprofessionals, and we contemn "networking." We talk to people because we like them, not because they'll get us where we want to go.

This is group is for thirty-something women who want to make new girlfriends and get together for activities in the San Francisco area.

A group for people in their 20-30s in the Alameda area to meet new people, have some social drinks and check out what the area has to offer. Events won't be limited to Alameda and will include the East Bay and SF, but seeing how I live in Alameda and enjoy convenience this is where the group will be based.

Small groups will get together to read aloud to one another and appreciate the written and spoken word (and simply have a good time). Each person brings a short selection (fiction, poetry, nonfiction, whatever). Folks also bring drink and nibbles to share. Fancy or not. Meetings will vary; formats will evolve. My small kitchen will be the setting for some events; perhaps others will volunteer their kitchens as well. We may also decide to have thematic events, such as reading appropriate selectio …

We drink and talk. We listen to a San Francisco history presentation. We drink and talk. Teetotalers are also encouraged to join.

As you get older, do more and more of your friends just want to stay home at night? In a committed relationship but still love the nightlife and meeting new people? Love sophisticated, beautiful interiors but also enjoy a dive bar now and then? Enjoy good wine, high-quality beer or well-crafted mixed drinks? Feel left out of all the cocktail meetups for singles? Join us! Don't drink alcohol? No problem. This is more about enjoying the scene and conversation not just booze. Every bar has non-alco …

Good people! Good times! This group is for anyone interested in hiking, bowling, getting together for happy hours, dinners, drinks, comedy, wine tasting, & hopefully some great music & theater. : )

This is a group for anyone and everyone interested in the art of Beer Pong, Flip Cup and any other associated fun drinking games. I started this group because drinking games are hella cool, especially Beer Pong! There's nothing better than a game of beer pong with a group of people and having a great time. I look forward to making this Meet Up Group one of the BEST and I need your help to show how Beer Pong is a game changer!

Potrero Hill startups! PubNub wants to meet you! Our neighborhood is expanding with new start ups at a rapid rate. Let's connect over everyone's favorite activity...DRINKING! Of course, it's not all about the drinking. It mostly is, but it's a bit early in the relationship to reveal just how fond we are of imbibing in potent potables. Although, I suppose the cat's out of the bag now. Join us as we get to know our neighboring companies and local bars!

This is a group of fun, sophisticated, and professional women between 25 and 45 in San Francisco who are looking to meet new friends with similar interests. Let's get together for drinks, dinner, hiking, or anything fun! I started this group because I just moved to the city from the east coast and I am looking to meet new people.
