Sober catch ups with friends

[newinsight]

Most catch ups are centred around heading a nice bar.

Help me think of some new things we can do that does not involve alcohol.

What do you do when catching up with friends?

I rarely get drunk with my friends nowadays. Usually meals out, coffee, walks, just hang out in someone’s house, go to a gallery/theatre/cinema.

Walk in parks or by the river
Go to museums or exhibitions
Go to to the theatre, music or comedy gigs

I am not a bar person.

Coffee and cake, walk round the shops, meet a local city and have an exolore, lunch out where drinking is less expected (maybe?), look round the shops, museum exhibitions, cinema

Coffee or lunch, a couple of friends we will do a workout together then grab a shake or whatever in the gym cafe

If it has to be 'out' and not to each others houses, then i would look for restaurants with a relaxed vibe and chose evenings where they're not looking to chuck you out after the traditional 3 courses. Maybe somewhere where they have a 'lounge' area for coffee before/after the meal.

Or go to a bar, enjoy the surroundings, but have the tee total options?

Personally i can't chat/catch up properly on walks. I get distracted by my surroundings and need my breath for the exercise and need to concentrate on not tripping up these days! 🙄😂

Countryside or park walks with a coffee in the middle are my favourite.

If you are looking for indoor things perhaps a crafty activity where you make something like a wreath at Christmas or some jewellery

Things I do include

• a walk
• a run
• climbing wall
• pub and drink Af beer. Ideally a pub that does a decent one in pints
• nice coffee place
• exhibition/museum
