A drinks night, step by step

Four people laughing around a small round table on an evening out

  1. When you book

    Pick a day

    Choose your city, a date and the language you'd like to speak. Booking stays open until 13 hours before.

  2. Before the evening

    We put the group together

    We use your quiz answers, age band and language to choose your group, and book the bar. The app shows where to go and a bit about who's coming.

  3. The start

    Meet the group

    Drinks groups run a little larger than dinner tables, so there's usually another conversation to join. Order whatever you like, and a soft drink is as welcome as anything else.

  4. Afterwards

    Keep in touch

    The group chat stays open, so you can make plans with anyone you got on with.

Safety

Is it safe?

Over 99% of Timeleft experiences happen without any safety incident, according to the safety framework we published in June 2026.

What members say

Three people smiling together at an evening event

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

    Trustpilot review

  • I am so happy to have found Timeleft. It has got me out of the house and meeting new people every week. I have made some wonderful connections with some new friends.

    App Store review

  • I'm glad I found it, and glad for the friends and acquaintances I have made. Now I have people to go and hike with, play poker, go to New Year's parties, and game with, thanks to Timeleft.

Questions about drinks nights

Do I have to drink alcohol?
No. Every venue has non-alcoholic options, so order whatever you like. You're there for the conversation.
Who can come to drinks?
Members who are at least the legal drinking age where the event takes place. In the US, that means 21 and over.
How is it different from a dinner?
There's no meal to share and the group is usually a bit bigger, so it suits an evening when you want something lighter. For a longer sit-down evening, try a dinner.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. If you'd like company, you can invite a friend as a +1 from the event page, and their first event is free.
