Drinks

Thursdays at 7:00 pm.

Skip dinner and head straight to the bar, where a few new faces are waiting. Low-key and easy on the wallet, it's a good way to wind down after work.

  • 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…

Questions about Timeleft in Vancouver

How can I meet new friends in Vancouver?
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner, drinks, coffee, a run, or a walk in Vancouver, 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 Vancouver?
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 Vancouver do they happen?
At restaurants, bars, cafés, and meeting points across Vancouver. The app shows the exact venue 12 hours before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Vancouver?
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. Nearly every restaurant we use in Vancouver has vegetarian dishes, and plenty have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
Is Timeleft in other cities in Canada?
Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, and Quebec City. See every location.
