    Expect food, drinks, and some sort of entertainment.  We are creating something inclusive and special…it’s not your ordinary happy hour at the every day bar. It’s an opportunity for individuals of different backgrounds but of similar interests to come together, visit different establishments and be a part of a local community that loves to have a great time!

    This month we will be checking out Original 40: a micro brewery in the heart of North Park.  Their beautiful space will lend the perfect back drop for a fun evening with reggae music, 4/20 themed cocktails, and munchies for our group.  Happy Hour prices will be extended throughout the duration of the event.  Come learn about the origins of Original 40, and experience some awesome entertainment!

Additional Great Ideas to Meet People in San Diego

1. Embrace the coastal lifestyle and make friends with beach-goers.

Located along the Southern California coastline, San Diego gives off a mild and pleasant climate that makes it such an inviting beach destination for tourists and locals alike all year-round. The city enjoys plenty of sunshine and the different landscapes. Its rocky coves, cliffs, and long stretches of sands, offer a lot of activities for people to come. Whether you’re into surfing, beach volleyball, snorkeling, swimming or simply relaxing under the sun, there’s always something for you to enjoy. While you’re at building sand castles, why not build connections with new friends as well? Who knows, you might turn out to be a beach bum for life!

 

2. Explore the street markets.

Make time to visit local favorites and experience the authentic side of San Diego. Immerse yourself in the local scenery of street markets or indulge in sumptuous eats of locally grown products at the city’s certified farmers market. It’s a good way to engage in casual conversations with vendors or strike up recommendations about the items on display and other places to shop with fellow shoppers. So drop by, enjoy the shopping experience, negotiate deals, keep a light-hearted attitude and get to know the locals of San Diego.

 

3. Visit the museums and art galleries in San Diego.

It’s easier to strike up conversations with people who share the same interests as you. In fact, this is normally how friendships begin. When you find common hobbies or passions with others, it creates a strong foundation for engaging and captivating discussions. So why not visit San Diego’s various museums and art galleries? You might find the artistic atmosphere and small talks quite refreshing if you just let the conversation flow naturally. There are also events in the museums you can check and plan out your next visit.

 

4. Head to the park.

If you’re not in the mood for extreme activities, the park is a good place to walk around and enjoy the fresh air and ambiance. If you have a dog, all the better. They’re great companions if you just want to lounge. They also have a way of bringing people together. Get the chance to meet other dog lovers and share information about your furry friends.
