About us

Do you want to get out of the house, try new things, and have fun meeting other friends your age? Come join us around Columbus for friendly, unique or exciting events at the coolest venues in town.
Here's what the group offers:

Activity - Our goal is to host at least 8 events per month, adding more as we discover new interests. Most events allow casual conversation in a fun environment. Even activities with music, games, or sports have social time built in.
Social Outlet - No more excuses to be home and bored.
Quality People - Members have to be approved. Singles and couples may join but you must have a membership with a current profile picture. Also, we charge a small yearly admin fee to help with meetup fees and costs managing so many events. (Note: all new members get a 30 day free trial before fees are required)
Friendship - Finding friends with common interests is encouraged. You must be in your 40s, 50s, or 60s to be a member of this Meetup.

As your organizer, I promise good communication and organized activities. In return, I ask that members keep their RSVPs current.
So hang out with us at one of our events! Engage or just observe but...come join the fun soon!

Distillery Tour & Tasting!

Distillery Tour & Tasting!

Thu, Nov 19 · 6:30 PM EST

Echo Spirits Distilling Co., 985 W 6th Ave, Columbus, OH, US

Come and visit Echo Spirits Distilling Co. in Grandview and get to Know Your Distiller! Visit an active craft distillery and learn how they make award-winning local spirits (esp. rum & bourbon)! Includes a tour and extensive tasting. THE TOUR BEGINS PROMPTLY AT 6:30PM
COST: $10.00 This is a ticketed event and reservations must be made beforehand! I have booked the time slot for our group and pre-paid for the EventBrite tickets + fee. NO REFUNDS. If you have to cancel, consider your ticket a donation to the Snack fund.
Distillery Notes: Spend a little over an hour with us as we take you through the distilling process and how Echo Spirits came to be. We'll guide you through an optional tasting to help you become a better spirits taster and introduce you to our products.
The goal is to have you come out of the tour more knowledgeable about spirits and to have a good time! Make sure you remember that this is an active manufacturing business and wear appropriate attire. It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and you need to watch your step.
AFTER TOUR: After our tour and tasting, we can order a drink from their eclectic menu, sit and chat.
PARKING: Around back of the building and on side streets.
FOOD: You can bring in your own or get takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (next door) or Five Guys (across the street). NO FOOD ON TOURS. Must be consumed before or after tour.

Grand Illumination Bar Hop!
Fri, Nov 13 · 6:00 PM EST
Pins Mechanical Co, 4117 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH, US
Kick off the holiday season! We'll meet at PINS to start our lights tour of The Strand and The Yard at Easton (the hip, far north section). Take your eyes to the sky around 7PM and watch as over two-million lights simultaneously illuminate Easton for the season.
WHAT: We'll hop from PINS to nearby Forbidden Root for eats? Beeline for cocktails? a Coopers Hawk wine tasting? and The Yard for festive fun (last year they hosted Silent Disco)! The Bar Hop will be fluid so groups can walkabout and linger at a spot or move on to another, all surrounding the wonderful contemporary holiday lights at The Yard.
AFTER PARTY: Those who want to hang around can reserve lanes at PINS or groove at Beeline or sit around giant fire pits.
PARKING: Best bet are garages on either side of PINS.

FriendsGiving! Drinks and Grazing Table

Zaftig Brewing Co, 7020A Huntley Road, Columbus, OH, US
Let's Eat, Drink and Be Thankful for the wonderful friendships we've made in the group!
GRAZING: Grazing is a more casual way to share snacks, making a large snack board. Bring along a fall / thanksgiving snack to share. I'll provide plates and napkins and serving trays/utensils.
ZAFTIG is a brewery on the north end and I like their flavor combos and funny names for brews. You won't want to miss their holiday releases:
I Believe in Santa Holiday Ale or Bourbon Barrel Aged BamBaLam Breakfast Stout. They now serve cocktails, too.
PARKING: There's are spaces all around the brewery.
