Hi! Does anyone want to join for trivia at 7 PM at Nine Mile Brewing in Bloomington?
Are there any public places, bars etc. that are holding a viewing for tonight’s VP debates?
The Twin Cities boasts a vibrant scene. While Acme and House of Comedy are well-known, smaller venues deserve more recognition. Throughout the week, alongside nightly open mics, fantastic shows featuring paid headliners and features are happening. I've detailed these shows below.
Some shows are free, with suggested donations to support the organizers. Many feature comedians from other states, so your donations help keep these spaces alive for comics to hone their craft.
If you’re interested in signing up or getting into stand-up but don’t know where to start, or if you just want to support the comics and help provide an audience, please check out Mike Brody’s list:
Also, if comedy isn’t your thing please checkout u/oldbublysoul29 weekend rundown list with all the happenings around town.

This is an open invite to join me at the Roseville Dreamers Vault Friday, October 4th to play boardgames. I will arrive around 6pm and play 15-30 minute games with whoever is there. At 7pm we'll decide what longer games to play. You'll know me by my bald head, bushy beard, and Costco/Ikea bag of games. We usually grab a table on the left side at the back.
I've seen a lot of "looking for friends" posts on this subreddit and that is what this is about. I make a point to bring both simpler "welcoming" games for people new to non-mass market games as well as more complex games for the veterans. The regular attendees tend to bring their own games as well so we always have a lot of choices (maybe too many sometimes).
If you've attended before and you'd like me to bring a specific game, let me know here and I'll make sure to put it in the bag.
Hello!
Wondering if anyone in here was in Hook Club at the U and/or has maybe found/started a similar group post-college?
Essentially the club would meet weekly, vote on an album to listen to, discuss it at the next meeting and rinse and repeat (pretty much just a book club for music albulms!). There would occasionally be house parties for people to hang out/listen to good music or for club members to perform with their bands.
Maybe if there isn't something like that in the cities, people would be interested in joining if one was started?
Thanks in advance!
If you play American Mahjong and are looking for people, we'll be at Insight Brewing on Thursday, Oct 3, from 6:30 to 8:30. You're welcome to join us!
show at the Fillmore that we can’t make it to. paid $90 for two tickets but willing to sell for best offer or give so they don’t go to waste
It's at 7 pm. I think they have beginner line dancing and 2 step lessons.
41m, just looking for people to do things like the above with, it's fun! If not this evening, there are always events coming up.
Sorry for posting day before, there’s just so much going on!
Hi Everyone,
I just created this dine out, so please join if you'd like! Hi Flora makes some incredibly creative and delicious entries and drinks! Everyone is welcome - even if you aren't vegan but are just curious to try some plant-based food.
There isn't a link for the menu, but you can see photos of menus in reviews people have left on their Google page: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VuZgN2cuCnKnccan7.
Some items include mac n cheese veggrolls, quesadillas, shawarma, sandwiches, melts, salads, ect.
If you are interested, please sign up through this meetup link. Dine Out at Hi Flora!, Thu, Oct 17, 2024, 6:30 PM | Meetup
There are only so many spots and these dine outs tend to fill up quickly. People's plans sometimes change though, so you still have a good chance at making it if you are on the waitlist.
Fungi Fest is happening this Saturday at the Bell Museum! I will be attending, I'd love to meet up with any new friends there as well.

Hello, I'm organizing a meetup at Punchbowl Social in St. Louis Park on September 28th at 2 pm. This would be a good opportunity to meet new people especially if you are new in town. Message me or create a message down below if you like to join! The age range would be 20’s and 30’s. I believe you only have to be 21 or above after it's 10 pm.
This is an open invite to join me at the St Louis Park Dreamers Vault Friday, September 27th to play boardgames. I will arrive around 6pm and play 15-30 minute games with whoever is there. At 7pm we'll decide what longer games to play. You'll know me by my bald head, bushy beard, and Costco/Ikea bag of games. We will be in the front room with the windows facing the street.
I've seen a lot of "looking for friends" posts on this subreddit and that is what this is about. I make a point to bring both simpler "welcoming" games for people new to non-mass market games as well as more complex games for the veterans. The regular attendees tend to bring their own games as well so we always have a lot of choices (maybe too many sometimes).
If you've attended before and you'd like me to bring a specific game, let me know here and I'll make sure to put it in the bag.
I used to swim at the YWCA downtown or in uptown, but obviously that's not possible anymore. Where do you guys like to swim in the cities? I'm looking for a recreational lap pool that opens early in the morning, prior to work. Ideally they'd be open late, as well.
seeking other gongfu brewing enthusiasts (or would-be enjoyers) to start a tea group. i love brewing with others and talking over a session but my friends and family are not as fond of tea.
thinking of starting with a small group at northeast tea house to see if vibes are good and maybe transitioning to rotating home sessions, if things go well (NETH can get expensive..)
feel free to comment or dm if interested!
bit about me: 27, nonbinary (they/them), got into gongfu style brewing in 2021, prefer oolongs but i dabble in everything except puerh.. some shengs have wormed their way into my collection but haven't met a shu that I didn't hate - always down to have my mind changed though
Hi! I (60F) am looking for people interested in forming a Mahjong group. Is anyone interested? Let me know and we can talk over times and locations.
Our book club started here on Reddit about a year ago and has slowly fizzled down to a few active participants.
We try to read one book every 4-6 weeks, meet up halfway through and at the end to discuss-so meeting about twice a month. We read all types of books and are open to suggestions! We are a co-ed, mostly 30-somethings, but are open to anyone who wants to join and connect with others over books! We like to meet at coffee shops, breweries, parks, and will occasionally do other book related outings.
Feel free to DM me with any questions or join our discord
Hey all! 41/m preparing for bariatric surgery in the coming months and want to establish a good strength training routine. I used to lift quite regularly but I am approaching it as if I never lifted before. Anyone else looking for a health accountability partner? Ideally looking for 4-5 times per week.
I am hosting 2 nights of game play for a new educational and leadership training game call Bottomline. https://bottomline.fun/ This is an exclusive first look at the game experience here in the USA and we believe will provide another tool for Entrepreneurs to get noticed by investors and meet other like minded people.
Game nights: Tuesday September 24th and Wednesday September 25th in Minnetonka, MN.
What does the game teach?
Players have to manage their resources and money knowing they could lose on every project. They have no control over the Market changes
Players determine how aggressively they want to play
At some point, collaboration and negotiation are key to execute on more projects
Players realize that a good decision might be a bad decision 3 turns from now
How do players reserve resources to take on the best opportunities
Do players go after 1 big project or do a bunch of smaller ones…which will add up quicker
Powers of observation….what is everyone else doing and should they should adjust their strategy on the fly
Register today! https://www.bnqt.me/comm/cm0e7tpig0000k00cu2pjltd8 I’ll waive the registration fee for the next 24 Registrants!
In addition, the inventors will be in town to answer questions and share their own entrepreneur journey. Don't miss on out on this cool event.
Free snacks and drinks!
Hello there! My partner and I are looking to meet others for social activities and fun.
We're in the Rogers/Otsego area. We both enjoy anime, gaming and the outdoors when its not super hot out. We have 2 dogs as well! We're 33 and 32 and would love to meet folks with similiar interests and just get out/hang more.
We love hosting get togethers and or bonfires as well as cooking for groups!
Overall just wanting to make new and meaningful connections with other folks and break out of the typical day to day routine.
Join us at BlackStack for an intro to American Mahjong! We'll be there tomorrow, September 19th, at 6:00. Hope to see you there!
You can also join our discord server: https://discord.gg/Vvn6DcaH
Hi! How's your week going? Any fun plans? It's been a while, and this sub has been pretty active lately, so I thought I'd post again!
I'm in my 20s and hoping to make some long-term close friends in the Uptown area! It'd be pretty rad if you were within walking distance of the Hennepin & Lake area, but further away is fine too! I've been at a point in life where it's become increasingly difficult to enjoy the things I love on my own, and I've come to realize just how much sharing experiences with others means to me. To that end, I'm looking to get to know some people who would ideally be willing to meet up in person sooner rather than later. I'd still like to have a quick chat online first to get a feel for each other (and establish that neither of us is a serial killer), but I don't want that to drag out indefinitely as it so often does.
I'd like to stress that I'm not looking for casual connections. I long for a deep, meaningful friendship where we both actively make an effort to include each other in our lives. In the past, I've often found myself solely taking on the burden of making plans or initiating interactions, and that's not a position I wish to be in again. I value direct and consistent communication, mutual trust, and emotional intimacy; and building a space together where we always feel safe, appreciated, and wanted is important to me. I'm seeking those who share my yearning for genuine connection and are willing to invest in our friendship as much as I am. I know that this level of trust takes time to build, so I hope you'll give me a chance to do so.
As I'm pursuing an intellectual connection as well, I believe that it's essential that we align on certain ideologies. My worldview is strongly rooted in science, logical reasoning, skepticism, and an evidence-based approach to all things, and I'm a far-left (anarchist communist) atheist. I connect best with fellow critical thinkers who share similar views.
Here are some things that I'd love to do together:
Exploring places and events: I know that sounds hella generic, but there's so much to do around the cities, from arcades and mini-golf to checking out interesting shops and fairs. It'd be nice to meet someone to go out with regularly! Show me your favorite spots too!
Enjoying the arts: As a classical musician, I have a strong passion for music, and I frequently attend both orchestral and chamber music performances in the area. I'd love for you to come with me, but if classical music isn't your thing, no worries! I enjoy a wide variety of music, and I'd be just eager to check out some band you like from the other side of the world that just happens to be playing at a random local bar. I'd also love to spend a day at the museum, an art fair, or a show at the theatre.
Going on walks (and other forms of physical activity): I haven't been as active as I'd like recently, and I'd like to change that. I enjoy going on long walks around the lakes near me, and I'd love for someone to join me. It'd be a great opportunity to talk and get to know each other better too! I also used to bike a fair bit (though not since my bike was stolen), and I'm interested in getting back into that one day. If you have any suggestions for other physically active hobbies (rock climbing, hiking, etc.), I'm probably not too experienced in them, but I'd be open to trying!
Cooking & baking: I still have a lot to learn here, but as I've practiced more, I've found that it's something I really enjoy. I have a pretty diverse palate and enjoy making (and eating) food from all over the world. Do you have a favorite dish to make? Some of mine are misir wot (I'm a sucker for any excuse to eat injera) and tteokbokki. I'd love for us to cook for each other! We could go to the market, pick out some ingredients, and make something together too!
Checking out new restaurants: As I mentioned, I like a wide variety of food, but since I started cooking, I don't eat out on my own very often. I still like going out from time to time, especially to discover new dishes, but I'd enjoy sharing the experience with a friend so much more. Also, I need someone to blame when we inevitably get all-you-can-eat sushi for like the 3rd time that month. What are some of your favorite restaurants in the area? If you need recommendations, I have a huge list!
Playing games: I'm pretty nerdy and I enjoy my fair share of games in all forms (board games, card games, video games, etc.). Going out is nice, but I also enjoy a cozy day at home gaming, and I'd love to play with you! What are some of your favorite games? For video games, I usually play on PC, and I have a decent collection of titles on Steam that we could explore. I'm always down to check out your favorites too! Bonus points if you like retro games and want to revisit some together! I've been playing through the 1st generation Pokémon games lately, and finished a bunch of older Kirby games too!
Watching movies & shows: Speaking of cozy days at home, it'd be nice to watch some movies and shows together too. I lean towards sci-fi and fantasy (I'm a huge Doctor Who and Star Trek fan), but I'm not too picky and like plenty of other genres (though the 3-hour pilot for Battlestar Galactica is definitely somewhere in our future). Introduce me to some of your favorites? I also enjoy having discussions about everything from the technical aspects of the content to theories about the plot. Let's also find a new series we're both interested in and go through it together!
Just checking in/holding each other accountable: It'd be really nice to have someone who'd be willing to regularly check in with me, even just to see how I'm doing. As I mentioned before, I've been in a lot of situations where I've felt mostly ignored unless I initiated things, and this would really go a long way towards helping me feel valued. Also, as someone with ADHD who sometimes goes the whole day without eating or drinking, even just occasionally asking about what I've done that day can snap me back to reality and help a lot. I'd return the favor of course!
Body doubling: I do most of my work from home and don't have many coworkers to interact with. Focusing can be hard sometimes, especially when I'm feeling lonely, and I'd love having a friend in the same or similar situation (e.g. studying for school perhaps) to body double with, if that's something that helps you as well. This could be in person, but I'm always down to sit in a call together while we work on our own things too!
If anything I mentioned interests you, please send me a chat or DM (they should be open and I prefer them to comments) and tell me about yourself! I'd love to hear about your passions too, as I'm always open to trying different things, and maybe we can discover some new activities together as well. I just ask that you're as excited and eager to get to know each other as I am!
I can't wait to hear from you!
(I have limited energy for new connections, so apologies in advance if I don't respond to everyone promptly😞)
Before we hop in: Please check out our show This Thursday Good Ones: A Comedy Show. I'd appreciate your help to fill the seats for our 2nd show get your Tickets here! If you find this list helpful, it’s also a chance to thank me in person or tell me you hate it and think you can make one better.

It’s been challenging to meet other hispanic people in Minnesota, especially in my age range. I’m a 27f Chilean who would love to meet folks in the hispanic/latin community! Now that National Hispanic Heritage month has started, it would be fun to check put events in the area or to just meet and bond over our culture, music, traditions, etc.
I am also part of the LGBTQ+ community, so meeting queer latin folks would be so great too! Dm me!
I’m looking to go for more walks and do more things around the twin cities, and I’d really enjoy meeting somebody who would like to do the same. I would also like to hear about any groups that anyone can think of. I’m in my 40’s and a male. I guess I didn’t come out of the Covid era very well, and I’m lonely and I’d like to meet people. Perhaps you’d like to try a board game night but would like to not go alone? Me too! If you’re feeling the same, or have any info about meetups and such, it would really help. Thanks!
