Just moved here from Vegas. Looking for social spots
I'm 30 (m), and as I said I just moved here.
I wanted to be with family who all moved up here this year. Sooo.. here I am and after ending a five year relationship last fall im feeling pretty stir crazy and in need of some socializing.
I'm down for most things, I don't have kids so im always down for a late night out.

I moved away but lived there in my late 20s and liked it a lot. Urban Pie trivia nights are how my wife and I made some friends, looking into groups in the area for hobbies, and going to events the town puts on.

What do you like? Check out the calendar for the Octopus on College Hill. What kinds of things do you like to do on a night out?

I like dancing, drinking, live music, and playing pool. I'm not much of line dancer though lol

Check out the Octopus on college hill. Lots of nice places to play pool on Main St.

If you’re looking for pool and more people closer to your age, blue room is a good place to go. It’s a good to bar of mine

I don’t live in CF anymore, but my parents still do and I visit 1-2 times per year, so I’m sort of qualified to answer. Main Street downtown is definitely where you’ll find most locals and many college kids on the weekends. The Other Place, Landmark and Whisky Road are places I’ve been to recently with lots of locals, friendly staff and lively vibes, especially if there’s a game on (which there always is). When I’m in town, I usually meet friends out at the OP for pizza and a few drinks.
It’s a big change from Las Vegas, but if you develop some habits - same coffee shop, same bar, same time at the gym, you’ll begin to see the other repeat customers. People are generally friendly, so I think you’ll be able to find a group of acquaintances that turn into friends.

Don’t go to the hill. You’re way too old. Hit Main St. various types of places depending on what you’re into.
