Culture · Manchester

A come-as-you-are first meeting for anyone curious about a social life that doesn't revolve around drinking, held in a proper alcohol-free bar rather than a church hall. Good alcohol-free cocktails on hand, and nobody's asking why you're there.
Runs 6-8pm — turn up on your own, no sign-up required.
