Curated After Hours - Find Your People
Looking to meet new people in Austin — without the awkwardness of a crowded happy hour or the pressure of a networking event?
Curated After Hours is an intentionally hosted social night where real conversations happen naturally. No forced icebreakers, no pitching yourself — just a relaxed evening with adults 30+ who are here for the same reason: to meet genuinely great people.
This is for you if:
You're new to Austin and building your circle
Your friend group has gotten smaller (or busier) than you'd like
You want real connection, not just another happy hour
What makes it different:
Every event is thoughtfully hosted — guided introductions, a beautiful setting, and a vibe that makes conversation easy. You'll leave knowing more than just someone's name.
And it doesn't end when the night does — afterward, you can submit Connection Requests for people you'd like to know better. If it's mutual, we make the introduction so the friendship can keep going.
What to expect:
A welcoming group of Austin adults 30+
Thoughtful introductions, zero awkward mingling
Craft cocktails & mocktails
One of Austin's most beautiful lounges
A relaxed night of real conversation
The Venue
The Betty blends vintage glamour with downtown Austin sophistication — velvet seating, ornate chandeliers, and just the right atmosphere to slow down and actually get to know someone.
Held every other Tuesday. Free to attend — just RSVP.
