Meetup

Meetup is an online site where you can choose different groups and events to attend. Most of them which are free of charge. You can search the nearest meetups by typing in your postcode.

Sign up is free and there is an app for that

I chose to meet up with the Happy Commandos which a lovely, bubbly bunch of people that love to visit bars and pubs in the Happy Hours.

At the bar you have to mingle with everyone and everyone is very friendly. Everyone is welcome to join, even those that are new to the country.

The first time I met the Happy Commandos I was a nervous wreck and couldn't find the location. So of course I was fifteen minutes late. That was alright though as people came and went. Some had dinner plans. The location on Urbanspoon said 168 Lt Collins st, but it was actually on Big Collins st.

I only limited myself to a $3 lemonade but others got really drunk. The bar that night was busy and they had about 150 people turning up for their $5 wines. Some stayed on for food. You order your own food and pay at the bar. Note: there isn't a lot of sharing- it is up to that table.


Online you'll get to mingle with some of the people before you come and there is usually a table reserved. Students its a great way to meet new people in Melbourne. There is an app for the meetups in which you can download from Google Play. Or otherwise just sign up here.  But be prepared to introduce yourself.
