Looking to make friends in Houston? Timeleft hosts weekly dinners, drinks, coffee, runs, and walks, where you'll be matched with compatible strangers. No swiping, no planning, just show up and connect.
The one that started it all. A dinner with strangers at a restaurant we pick, with four to six people matched to you. Expect good food and conversation that runs longer than you planned.
There are also women-only dinners on Mondays and singles dinners on Tuesdays, all at 7:00 pm.
We pick the places and book the tables. Every venue we use in Houston is rated 4.0 or higher on Google, so the food holds up its end of the evening.
The app shows you exactly where 12 hours before it starts. All you have to do is show up.

Reasons to keep showing up
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.

How Timeleft works in Houston
Choose your activity
Pick from dinners, drinks, coffee, runs, and walks. Each has its own vibe, so go with whatever fits your mood and your week.
Pick a day
Choose a day that suits you. We'll book the venue in Houston and put your group together.
Show up and settle in
Twelve hours before the event, the app shows you the venue and a bit about who's coming. Everyone there chose to come, just like you, which takes the edge off. Come once, then come back whenever you like.
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner, drinks, coffee, a run, or a walk in Houston, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and 12 hours before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Houston?
There's dinner every Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm, drinks every Thursday at 7:00 pm, coffee every Saturday at 3:00 pm, a run every Saturday at 10:00 am, and a walk every Saturday at 10:00 am. There are also women-only dinners on Mondays at 7:00 pm and singles dinners on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Houston do they happen?
At restaurants, bars, cafés, and meeting points across Houston. The app shows the exact venue 12 hours before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Houston?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
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. Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and our safety guidelines cover the rest. The guide to your first dinner walks through it step by step.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet four to six people at once, in person.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. Most restaurants we use in Houston have vegetarian dishes, and some have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
