Tampa Bay Make New Friends Happy Hour 20s & 30s

About this event

Please note that this event is for people in their 20s and 30s.

Whether you're new to Tampa, a longtime local, or just visiting, join us for a relaxed social hangout to meet new people and make new friends .

No agenda — just friendly people coming together to chat, grab food or drinks, and enjoy good conversation in an easygoing atmosphere.

See you there!

How to find us We meet at the picnic tables in front of Armature Works, between 7th Ave and the river - see the red circled area in the attached picture. When you arrive, look for people wearing nametags. Please message me (Matt) directly if you can't find us.

Where to park Parking nearby is paid on Fridays, typically around $10–$15 in surrounding lots. Street parking is also available for about $2/hour via ParkMobile.

When to arrive Whenever you can - no rush to get here right at the start. Many attendees are coming from work or from further away, so folks will cycle in and out throughout the evening.

What to expect Just friendly conversation with other people looking to make new friends. Usually about half of the attendees are brand new to Tampa Bay!

Many people come alone, especially if they’re new to the area, and there’s absolutely no pressure to drink (plenty of water and non-alcoholic options available at Armature Works).

When you arrive, pick up a nametag and say hello - I do my best to greet everybody coming in and help you connect to others.

Weather policy In case of severe weather, I may cancel the event or post an alternate location for us to meet. If so, I'll announce it here by 2pm on that day.
