A social evening in English, not a class
English speakers in Asunción meet for a drink and a chat after work, wherever they learnt their English. Come ready to talk.
Meet people from everywhere
People from all over the world meet Paraguayans, and Paraguayans meet the world. Whether you were born here or arrived this morning, if you speak English, it's for you.
Come on your own
Half the room comes on their own, so if you walk in and recognise nobody, you're in the majority. Say so at the door and one of our team will introduce you to somebody.
Free, with no booking
Everyone takes a name badge at the door so you can easily remember other people's names, and you pay normal bar prices for your drinks.
Good people, good recommendations
Afterwork is a public evening, open to anyone, so get to know people before you do business with them. Looking for a lawyer, an estate agent, a doctor or anything else? Ask our team on the night. We know a lot of people in Asunción, and we're always happy to point you to the good ones.
Just because someone attends our events, it doesn't mean we endorse them. You can get a strong recommendation for people we know and trust just by asking us.
First time? Questions people ask
Do I need to book?
No. It's free and there's nothing to book. Just turn up any time between 18:00 and 21:00.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. Half the room comes on their own. Say so at the door and one of our team will introduce you to somebody.
Can I bring friends?
Yes, bring as many as you like. They'll leave with a few more.
What should I wear?
Whatever you wore to work. Most people come straight from the office, and nobody dresses up.
Do I have to stay all evening?
No. Drop in for half an hour or stay until the end, whatever suits you.
Is it a class?
No. It's a social evening held in English, so come ready to talk. If you can hold a conversation in English, you'll be right at home.
Is there food?
Our venues are bars and restaurants, so you can order food and drinks at their normal prices.
Can I network for business?
Yes, it's a networking evening, so bring business cards if you like. Keep it friendly, though: nobody enjoys a hard sell. Want your brand in front of the whole room? Partner with us.
How do I find out the venue?
It goes on this page, on our What's On guide and on Instagram as soon as it's booked, usually a few days before.
