Vancouver Pub Nights

We are located inside. Don't be shy to swing by!

As this is a free event and to avoid potential costs for a cover charge in the future, we kindly ask you to make a purchase of a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage of your choice as an appreciation to the venue for hosting us.

Welcome to Vancouver Pub Nights. This event is all about having a fun night out on a Thursday evening. Have a drink and kick back, meet new people and make friends, talk about whatever interests you. We're here to have a great time, so come on down.

FAQ:

The event is full, can I come anyway? No. Although I do my best to secure the largest reservation I can, sometimes there's just not enough space. Showing up at a full event will cause issues, so please come to the next event instead.

Is this a dating group? No. It is fine if relationships form, but anyone found using this meetup primarily to hook up will be removed. Unsolicited messages to group members you have not met is also not allowed. If anyone is making you uncomfortable or sending you unsolicited messages, please speak to the organizers and we will help.

I'm going to be late, is that fine? Yes. The sooner you can arrive the better, but no worries if you're late. Come whenever is convenient for you.

I don't drink alcohol, can I still join? Yes. You don't need alcohol to have fun and make friends. However, you should still purchase some food or a non-alcoholic drink from the venue, so that we're invited back in the future.

Is there an age restriction, and what ID do I need? You need to be 19+ to attend these events, since they take place at bars. You'll need 2 forms of valid ID, one of which has to be government issued (Drivers License, Passport, etc.) The other can be a non-photo ID, or a credit card with your name on it.

It's my first time going, any suggestions? Don't worry, you're not alone. Most events are full of first timers. The sooner you arrive the better, as it's easier to meet new people early on. If you're feeling nervous, message me via Meetup or come up to me, and I'll help you get acquainted with people.

What time does the event end? The pub night officially runs for 3 hours, however it goes longer if people want to stick around. Sometimes we bar hop or go get some food. You're welcome to stay as long or as short as you want.

Welcome to the Vancouver Pub Night Game Night! This event is all about meeting some amazing people while kicking back with a drink and playing some cool games. You don't need to be a board game veteran to join us. Most of the games that we'll bring are simple and easy to learn and there will always be somebody who is happy to explain a game to you that you have never played. Or if you'd prefer to spend less time playing games and more time just socializing then that's fine too!

Feel free to request a game that you would like us to bring or to bring your own games. Some of the more popular games that we'll bring, just to give you an idea of what to expect, include:

• Codenames
• Secret Hitler
• Decrypto
• Fake Artist
• Taco Cat
• Ticket to Ride
• Trap Words
• WaveLength
• Cheese Thief

And many more. At any given time there will be at least 3-4 different games going on so you should hopefully be able to find something that interests you

Hi everyone, we are posting this 'event' to search for people who are interested in becoming volunteer organizers. Vancouver Pub Nights has grown, and we've had some organizers step down lately. So we need your help to keep things running smoothly.

If you are outgoing, enjoy meeting new people and making friends, and are passionate about making pub nights a warm and welcoming place for all, this is the role for you. We would prefer people who have been to a few events, although if you are new and interested please reach out anyway, and we will be happy to consider you after you've come to more events.

Here are what your responsibilities will be:

• Attend each pub night that you can (we're very flexible if you can't make it from time to time)
• Welcome members new and old to the event
• Identify yourself as an organizer, so people know who is leading the event
• Relay requests to the venue (e.g. Asking them to reduce the music volume)
• Bring safety concerns to the head organizer, and be there to support them if necessary
• Help book events with venues

The biggest thing is that you be a friendly face for people to come to. There is not much work to being an organizer, we run events only every 2 weeks, and 99% of the time you'll be hanging out like everyone else. However, it is still an important job that makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable, and having a good time.

If all that sounds like something you can do, and you are interested in becoming an organizer, please send us a message on the Meetup app and we'll have a chat.
