What we’re about
You’re invited to…
Meet.
Eat.
Repeat.
We’re bringing together Durham Region residents who share a love for food and want to build meaningful friendships. 🍽️
Our meetups promise delicious meals and engaging conversations, with a rotation of local restaurants to keep things interesting. Your input for venue suggestions is not just welcome; it's encouraged!
We also host weekly Get Out! Coffee & Conversation events, perfect for those who work from home and need a refreshing midweek break with casual chats and friendly faces.
Our newest addition is the Live & Local series—featuring music and nightlife events perfectly paired with snacks or a meal.
When requesting to join, please be sure that you have your first name and a photo of yourself in your profile so that we can recognize and welcome you at our events.
If you reserve a spot, we kindly ask that you honour your commitment. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may lead to removal from the group to ensure fairness and consideration for all members.
We can’t wait to meet you and look forward to sharing a meal soon!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Live & Local: Snacks & Acoustic Music Session at BOND|STBOND|ST Snack Bar, Oshawa, ON
Join us this Friday at Bond|St Snack Bar (on Bond, just east of Simcoe) - bondst.ca/snackbar. We’ll start upstairs for food and drinks at 7 pm before heading to the music at 8 pm (last time it was upstairs too!).
Important: We’ve reserved 15 spots to start but would love to expand the group if there’s more interest. Once we confirm numbers, I’ll update the venue with our final count. After that, anyone signing up later or showing up last-minute is still welcome but not guaranteed a seat for snacks or the music... so RSVP early to secure your spot!
They do charge a $20 no-show fee, so if you RSVP please make sure to attend or cancel at least 48 hours in advance to avoid the charge.
This is your chance to enjoy fantastic food, great company, and live music in a unique multi-space venue. Whether you joined us last time or are new to the group, it will be a fun night.
This is a loud atmosphere with amplified music and chattering people.
Please note: This venue has stairs and no elevator, making it inaccessible for wheelchair users.
Thanks for being Live & Local!
