What we’re about
I used to have this really long description where I ranted about adult friendships and the hardships of finding nice, normal people to hang out with.... but y'all already know that!
It's hard to make friends as an adult. I run an entire podcast and social club about it. People don't respond, people cancel plans, people flirt & get weird, the list could go on for MILES.
I'm assuming you're here for the same reason I am - to attend some fun events, attempt to make some friends, and find a ~purpose~ in this life. So let's get on with it. I host events at least a few times a month and I promise they're the best ones you'll find on Meetup (The bar is low).
By joining our group, you agree to the rules & terms. I know y'all don't read so to sum it all up: We're inclusive people. Have fun & let loose & drink but do so safely. Don't judge. Don't flirt or cross lines - this isn't Tinder!!!!!! Be freaking normal or I'll remove your A$$. Events are 21+. Read the event descriptions - most of your questions get asked in them like "What's the parking situation?". Have fun & TRY to make some friends!
Let's stay connected! Follow me on Instagram/TikTok @meetwithmacey. Want more out of your social life? Check our our website and podcast "Hard To Make Friends As An Adult" for tips on friendship - available on Spotify & major streaming platforms. We have a premium membership for $20 for the year IT'S WORTH IT!

See all- Chat & Cheers - Free Weekly Houston Social Hour Every Thursday!Social Beer Garden HTX, Houston , TX
Chat & Cheers - Free Weekly Social Hour In Your Community Every Thursday! RSVP To Attend Here!
Every Thursday, we’re taking over the scene for an epic social hour you won't want to miss. This is your chance to leave the small talk behind and dive into real conversations with like-minded individuals. No more talking about the weather—each week brings a fresh theme to spark the conversation and ignite new connections.
Tickets? They’re free. And to keep the vibe going long after the event ends, we’ll drop you into a local Group Chat where the real conversations happen. Whether you’re a local or just moved into the area, everyone’s invited to join the fun.
This is a 21+ event, so come ready to vibe with a drink in hand. While it’s not mandatory, we ask you to show some love to the local venue by grabbing at least one drink or food item. From cocktails to mocktails, and a killer menu—there's something for everyone. So, grab your crew (or roll solo) and come through. Let’s talk, laugh, and make some unforgettable memories. Don’t miss out!
How This Event Works:
RSVP through Eventbrite here. You will be sent an email prior to the event with a WhatsApp group chat link, optional printable wristband & name tag to wear to meet up with other attendees. This email will also include the conversation topic of the evening - as well as helpful questions & discussion thoughts to get the conversation rolling! This is a non-hosted event, meaning that attendees meet up on their own at the venue.Parking + Additional Information: Parking available onsite. Event is 21+ and all attendees are encouraged to support this local venue by purchasing at least one drink or menu item (Non-alcoholic & alcohlic drinks available!)

We recommend grabbing a drink (alcoholic or non!) to have something to hold/sip for the inevitable awkward silences. Planning ahead, dressing in something that makes you feel confident, & thinking of some of your interests/potential conversations before arriving are some tips to ensure you have a fun night. Not to self-promote but our podcast is also pretty helpful to learn some friending basics!
