Setting the Location, Date & Time for Your Dinner Club

📍 Location

Choose a downtown district with at least 7–10 moderately priced restaurants and a large bar for the after party.

We’ll send groups of six to different restaurants — usually 1–3 tables per restaurant, depending on your group size and restaurant availability.

After dinner, all tables from the same district will converge at the after-party bar.
Typically, around 50% of guests continue on from dinner to the bar.
We’ll give the bar a heads-up, but we don’t negotiate group packages or special pricing.

If you host dinner clubs in multiple locations, each one will have its own after-party bar. For example, if you host in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, there will be separate after parties in each location.

📆 Date

We currently support dinner clubs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Fridays and Saturdays are NOT recommended — reservations are harder to secure, bars are too busy, and guests often have personal plans.
​

By hosting midweek, you’re also supporting local restaurants during off-peak hours.

⌚️ Time

• Big cities: 7:00 PM dinner → 9:00 PM after party
• Smaller cities/towns: 6:30 PM dinner → 8:00 PM after party

📣 When to announce

Most communities need 10–14 days of promotion to fill their tables, though some have announced just 7 days prior and still had a great turnout.
