The Pittsburgh Mixer

Mar 3, 2023 - Mar 3, 2023 | 6:00 pm - 12:00 am
Sienna Mercato
942 Penn Ave
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222

With the first house party being a huge success we’re going to keep them going! Making a few minor changes to streamline things with one major change being the venue. This party will take place at Il Tetto, the rooftop bar at Sienna Mercato downtown, and this event will be 100% free! Doors will open at 5:00 to come in, pregame, and get registered for Speed Friending and then everything will proceed like our first event last month! Be sure to arrive early as our last event hit capacity around 8:30. If there's a long line when you arrive, we suggest grabbing a drink at another downtown bar and we'll keep you posted on our Instagram when we have space open up.

Pittsburgh Mixers:

The best way to meet new people is through the people you already know. This is why house parties are the best place to do it. Nerd Nite's Pittsburgh Mixers are designed to simulate all the benefits of a house party out at a bar with random strangers. It’s like going back to the good ol’ days when more people randomly met out in the world!

PHASE ONE - 6:00-8:00: With 168 participants last time, we will once again run a crowd favorite at Nerd Nite: Speed Friending. You can begin to register for this starting at 6:00 and the first round will begin at 6:30. Speed Friending will rotate you around with other guests for 5-minute conversations with new people. One of the best reasons house parties are so great for meeting people is that, almost always, everyone either knows the host or is a friend of someone who knows the host. So you are sure to be only a few mutual connections away from everyone there, and those who connect the dots are also in attendance! With Speed Friending, our goal is to create an atmosphere with that same vibe.

PHASE TWO - Starting at 8:00: The real mixer begins. We’ll keep the tunes at a medium volume so you can enjoy them and hear people easily. Additionally, we’ll have all the social games that you loved for the first party. We’ll be partnering once again with CityOfPlay to have a wide selection of party games such as Telestrations, Codenames, and Monikers, and all are welcome to bring their own from home! We’ll also have dice and cards for whatever you want to do with them, and two beer pong tables to re-live your college days. And, of course, there will be great food, drinks, and lots of extra space just to talk and hang out. Essentially the perfect party if you want it to be easy to talk to strangers.

See you there!
