Skip the Small Talk Night at Migration Brewing - Williams: Thursday, November 12, 2026

We've all heard that making friends is hard, loneliness is an epidemic, and the internet is making us all forget how to be humans. So let’s ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it and talk to other human beings! You’ll pair up with the other nice people who showed up, and you’ll switch off partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating). We'll have a fabulous host leading the whole shebang so it won't be awkward, and we'll give you question cards to guide conversation just a few notches deeper than you'd usually go so you don't accidentally talk about what you do for work six times in a row. EVENT START-END TIME | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PT AGE RANGE | 21+: While many folks who attend our events are in their 20s and 30s, all guests 21+ will be enthusiastically welcome! Please be sure to bring your government-issued ID, as this venue is 21+. There will be food and drinks for sale!

Millennial Skip the Small Talk Night at Migration Brewing - Glisan: Tuesday, November 24, 2026

We've all heard that making friends is hard, loneliness is an epidemic, and the internet is making us all forget how to be humans. So let’s ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it and talk to other human beings! You’ll pair up with the other nice people who showed up, and you’ll switch off partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating). We'll have a fabulous host leading the whole shebang so it won't be awkward, and we'll give you question cards to guide conversation just a few notches deeper than you'd usually go so you don't accidentally talk about what you do for work six times in a row. EVENT START-END TIME | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PT AGE RANGE | 30-45: This event is centered on people ages 30-45, but we welcome guests a year or two outside of that range who would feel comfortable being friends with people in the above age group. If you are outside of this age range, don't worry-- we have a lot of other events on our calendar, including all-ages events, that might be a better fit! Please be sure to bring your government-issued ID, as this venue is 21+. There will be food and drinks for sale!
