What we’re about
Do you love dining out, but either don't much like to eat by yourselves or would like more company once in a while? Whether attached or single, trying new restaurants and other venues around town can be challenging. Why not go with others? Join us as we explore the many restaurants, pubs, fun spots and activities of the Reno/Sparks area. From hole-in-the-wall joints to fine dining, we do it all. This is a group for both attached couples or singles who want to make friends and enjoy the local dining scene, festivals, food tastings, and more. There will also be many Happy Hour events, and other local, general events designed to relax, enjoy, mix and mingle!
Have suggestions for places or venues for us to try? Send me a message and let’s get it on the calendar.
Types of Meetups: • Ethnic Eats • White Tablecloth • Food Events and Festivals • Happy Hour • Beer or Wine Dinners or Tastings • Pot Lucks • And many more social activities than food or cocktails alone.
Rules (sort of):
(1) Reserving space, fees, planning, posting and corresponding all take time. I do this, and the expenses thereof, for the group as mostly a volunteer. Please pay your initial annual dues ($9) promptly, either cash, Zelle or online, absolutely within the 14-day trial period, and PLEASE renew responsibly! Thanks, I would rather spend my "hobby" time posting event ideas and enjoying them with y'all, than tracking down the MANY frequent delinquencies.
(2) Please respect your fellow group members, and me, and use the RSVP function to accurately represent your attendance. If you have a genuine last-minute emergency cancellation, change your Rsvp, post a comment, message me, or if you text, that also. After 3 no-shows with no communication before or after, you may be removed from the group.
(3) Please respect that this is NOT a hook-up group. That said, it is entirely possible, if you're unattached, that you may meet someone in the group--in person--that you wish to date. And, this group also has many attached couples. Remember to be respectful of each other and the group. That way all can continue to join us safely and comfortably. I will report all hasslers and "blind" solicitors to Meetup HQ for immediate removal.
(4) Failure to cover your tab at any event may subject you to removal, unless genuinely accidental, as we've experienced that before!! It is important that we respect each other; and that means not stiffing anyone, including our Leaders, with a bill that is not theirs.
(5) Empty chairs are sadness for both staff and fellow members, so members are required to honor their RSVPs, and especially for fine dining and crowded venues! Except for a genuine last-day emergency ( such as the c-p issues your hard-working event-planner had recently) or similar urgency, if members must cancel, they should do so at least 24 hours before the start of an event, so that people on the waitlist can be notified and reservations can be corrected. This is a Required courtesy towards your fellow members, the venue, and Leadership. Those who repeatedly cancel less than 24 hours before events, without explained urgency, will be removed from the Group. There are many Groups out there, please respect not only ours, but theirs too!!
