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.
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.
7:00 pm 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.
Afterwards

Keep in touch

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

Safety

Is it safe?

Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and there's no one-to-one messaging before you meet. If you report someone, you're never placed with them again.

99%

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

…overall great experiences and Ive been on 10+ dinner/events. I've made some friends and it's a nice way to force to get out and be social and possibly make new friends…

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…

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.

Can I go on my own?
