Ever noticed how much easier it is to talk to someone new when there's a game on the table? On Thursday, September 3rd, we're teaming up with Thursday Gothenburg (the global IRL singles social brand) for a social games night where everyone in the room is single. No speed dating, no forced rounds, no apps. Just games, good company, and a much easier way into a conversation. The format is the one you already know from our social nights: several tables, several games, rounds of 20–30 minutes. Pick a table, play, switch, repeat. One room stays free for mingling if you'd rather just talk. Some of the games we'll have out: No experience needed. We'll teach the rules and help you find a table. Come on your own; most people do. - Tickets: 125–225 kr, booked in advance through Thursday → https://tr.ee/gbg_offline Please note: the venue is not wheelchair accessible (there are steps down into the space) and is not pet friendly.

See you here! 5 September, 2026 Exactly one year ago today, Offline Café opened its doors to the public for the very first time. We celebrated our launch with a free grand opening weekend—and now, we’re doing it again! This day is not only to mark our first year in business, but to celebrate everyone who supported our GoFundMe. Even though we didn't reach our goal, we want to throw this celebration as a sincere thank you to the community who helped keep us going through the slow summer months, whether through donations or visiting us for board gaming and events. Come solo or bring friends—we’ll do our best to make room for everyone! While entry is completely free, we kindly ask that you support the café with a food or drink purchase so we can keep hosting free community events like this one.
