after their first club dinner
It was great! Everyone was very talkative, we got into some deeper topics, people were pretty open and happy to talk. The place was really cool, the food was delicious. We went to a bar nearby after for a quick drink.
Really enjoyed last night. Great concept, well-executed, and the group clicked in a way that felt natural rather than forced.
Wednesday was really, really great. The first meetup exceeded my expectations and I think everyone in the group was pretty stoked with the conversation.

Our Story
As artists (David a writer, James a painter), we've had a rare opportunity. Before becoming proper alienated adults, we spent a lot of time in the ultimate third place: art residencies.
Cohorts of artists, writers, and musicians gather for a month, coming away with profound, lifelong bonds. David met his wife at one. James went on to run residencies from Woodstock to Virginia.
Groucho brings that curated cohort experience — the fertile social fabric increasingly scarce in real life — to those with real-life schedules.
Everything you need for easeful, lasting connection
Each Groucho club has 4-8 members, selected not just for common interests but for social compatibility and potential for genuine connection.
Our conversational AI lets us get to know you through natural dialogue, not checkbox surveys. Go as deep as you like. You can also type your responses on our AI-free web form.
We coordinate the venues, times, and agendas. We offer the prompts to get things started and keep them going. You just show up and enjoy.
$21.99/month covers the assembly of your own private social club and coordinating all of its activities. You don't pay anything until you're actually matched with a club.
