It can be hard to meet other people, especially if you don't like going to a bar to get picked up. That's why I decided to start this meetup. It will be for younger couples, new or old, who want to do fun things with other couples. Couples in their 20's or 30's would probably feel the most comfortable. We will go bowling, go to new restaurants, check out local events, maybe even take some classes. Let me know if you have a suggestion! (Not a swingers meetup, just friends)

This group is designed to keep a regular weekly pickup game going in Portland. Look here for information about places, dates and times to play, and feel free to add your own recommendations. As the weather turns nicer, we will look to add a weeknight game as well. But that’s not all! We’d also like to create a group of fans of international soccer (La Liga from Spain, the Premier League from England, etc.) who would like to meet at a restaurant or bar to watch the games and - why not? - mak …

I have found a great way to meet people is to enjoy activities together. Ping Pong is a great way for competitive active people to find each other. To network businesses, find social partners, or just to let off some steam and have some fun! Hobnob Grille is a friendly, cozy bar and restaurant in SE Portland with great food, full bar, kid friendly that happens to have a Ping Pong Table. You should join if you are an active adult with any level of Ping Pong experience. I only host at the Hobnob G …

The Service Bay Bar provides a comfortable atmosphere to grab a drink, get on the mic, and let go...share your poetry with us, whether you're a newcomer to the spoken word scene or if you really know how to heat up the mic.

Would you like to have more chances of meeting politically liberal intelligent respectful non-sexist non-racist folks in Portland? We wont meet in loud bars where you cant hold a real conversation and we wont go to bars where folks drink and then they think and talk differently - not always so good for creating genuine mature friendship. I am a relationships counselor and I would love to help folks find each other in an atmosphere where folks can really get to know each other in a genuine and re …

A few years back while I was living in Boston, MA, I organized a meet up group called "Pool, darts and beer." The idea was not only to enjoy these fun activities but also to meet other people and places around town. The idea here is the same as before: maybe meet every two weeks or once a month for starters at different places around town. Some times to play pool, others to play darts, and always to drink beer! :) I usually prefer pool to darts but find both enjoyable. I must admit that I suck a …

Have you played with the family all day or week and are now ready to enjoy some guy time? Miss the days when you can have a drink with the guys or go out to a testosterone fueled action movie? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions then this meet-up group is for you. PDNO is for Dads to hang out and do things that we might not get the chance to do with the family such as play pool, go to a great brew pub or bar, or hang out at the Ground Kontrol arcade (after hours of course:). We ar …

What? No Cantonese language meetup in Portland? How can this be? This group originated as a place to practice conversational Cantonese over a few too many pints. This group has developed into something much better: we all collaboratively figure out neat things to do and try to converse in Cantonese while doing such neat things. Come join the Portland Cantonese-English Speakeasy where we'll take over local area bars/restaurants/venues/parks/whatever while learning how to speak Cantonese. Anyone i …

We are just a couple of girls that are trying to put together a great group of women to hang out with and have fun! Events will be held in both Portland and Vancouver, as we're from both places. We don't have any huge expectations of anyone joining our group. You just need to be laid back, know how to have fun, and hopefully carry on a conversation:) AND... you can sometimes include your significant "other" in our activities! Weeee!  (This isn't one of those stuffy groups with complicated or str …

This group is for people who like watching, talking, and generally appreciating UFC. It's also for people who like who like good food, drinks, and conversation with UFC in the background. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of UFC so any level of interest is welcome! The goal of the group is to pick a convenient bar that's playing a PPV UFC event, meet, enjoy each other's company, and watch some MMA. I look forward to seeing all of you at an event!

Hey dudes and betties, I just moved to Portland all the way from Michigan, so like a lot of you, I don't know many people around here. I gotta say (and I get the feeling that you're thinking the same thing) I'm getting a little burned out of all of these Meetup groups where the age range is from 20-40ish.  Personally, I don't think that is a good mix of people... many of us are single and ready to mingle, still enjoy the bar nights.... you get the idea.  Join up and let's have some fun and meet …

Meet Portland-based SF Giants fans to watch games at various locales throughout the Portland area.  This is an OPEN group - i.e., anyone can post a time/location they will be watching a game and invite others to join them.  In other words, it's Giants free-for-all :)  I would encourage you to choose the "email group" option when you are posting for a same-day meetup.  Cheers!
