Dinner Club is back on March 19th at 6:30 pm in West Hartford, and it’s the easiest way to turn a random weeknight into a “wait… why don’t we do this more?” kind of night.

Take a quick personality quiz, get matched with 5 others, show up to a surprise restaurant, then get the after-hours location texted out later. You cover your tab, and it’s $16 to lock your seat.

February had 40+ people show up, and now we’re aiming even bigger: more neighbors, more fun, more new connections.
