Make friends as an adult. Actually. Random Regulars puts you at a small table of strangers in Columbus — dinner, drinks, a Sunday treat, or a Saturday morning walk — and lets the rest happen naturally. No swiping, no networking, no pressure. Just show up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Join and tell us a little about yourself 2. Tap "Going" on an event that sounds fun 3. The spot is revealed two days before 4. Meet your table — the group chat opens on event day, so nobody walks in cold 5. Rate the night afterward. Click with someone? If it's mutual, a private chat opens — that's how strangers become regulars WHAT'S ON EVERY WEEK • Dinners — small tables at Columbus restaurants, capped at six on purpose • Trivia — same bar every week, come test your useless knowledge • Nightcaps — one bar, everyone welcome, nothing to decide • Sweet Treats — Sunday afternoons, coffee and something sweet • Runs & Walks — Saturday mornings at a social pace COME ALONE. THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT. Almost everyone shows up not knowing a soul — so nobody's the odd one out. You don't need a plus-one, you don't need to be outgoing, and you don't need to be single. Everyone at your table said yes to meeting new people. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Reminders before your events, and a heads-up the moment your spot is revealed • Group chat with your table before you arrive • Private ratings keep the community friendly — and you control who you're seated with • Your safety matters: public venues only, verified members, and organizers a message away SIMPLE MEMBERSHIP One membership covers every event. Pay once for the time you want — no subscription, no auto-renew, no card stored. At the table you order what you like and pay your own tab. COLUMBUS, THIS IS FOR YOU. Random Regulars is a local club run by locals, starting right here. Your next regular might be a stranger. Questions? support@randomregulars.com
