The evening

Meet first. Stay for the music.

  • 1
    8:00 PM — ARRIVAL
    Check in and settle in
    Grab a drink, meet your host and find your first small group. Most guests come alone, so everyone is there to meet people.
  • 2
    8:30 PM — GUIDED SOCIAL ROUNDS
    Meet people in small groups
    Move through relaxed group conversations with optional playful table missions. The structure makes introductions easy without turning the evening into an interview.
  • 3
    10:00 PM — OPEN EVENING
    Keep talking or start dancing
    The guided part ends and the evening opens up. Find the people you clicked with, have a drink and enjoy 80s and 90s beats.

    MIDNIGHT — FINISH
    Leave knowing people
    Exchange contacts, make plans or continue elsewhere together after the official event ends.

What people say

Real stories from real Saturdays

★★★★★

“I moved to Munich 3 months ago and knew nobody. After my first Friending Around event I had 5 new numbers in my phone. I’ve been back every week since.”

“I came expecting it to be weird and awkward. It was the opposite — everyone was so open. I stayed until midnight and made actual plans with people.”

“The format is genius. You’re never stuck in one awkward conversation. By the end you feel like you’ve known everyone for years.”

Questions

FAQ

Most people come alone — that’s actually the point. You’re here to meet new people. But you’re welcome to bring a friend too.
The guided small-group format gives you a clear place to begin. Your host moves the rounds along, so you never have to work out how to enter a room full of strangers by yourself.
English is the main language since we have a big international crowd. German speakers are very welcome too.
Wear Tracht or elegant attire. Dirndl and Lederhosen are welcome, but not required. A dress, suit, blazer, elegant shirt, cultural attire, vintage look or another intentional outfit also works. Please avoid sportswear, hoodies and very casual everyday clothing.
18+ only. Typical age range is 20s–40s.
Tickets are non-refundable but transferable — give your ticket to a friend and let us know via the contact page.
All three tickets include the complete evening. Choose the Tracht Ticket if you are wearing Tracht, or the Regular Ticket if you are coming in elegant attire. Early Bird availability is limited.
