End of Summer Social

The Invitation: Come Alone. Leave Connected.

Making new friends as an adult shouldn’t be this hard.

The Invitation is a new Cleveland social experience created for those who want to expand their circle, meet new people, and make genuine connections — without awkward networking, forced icebreakers, or needing to bring a friend along.

In fact, coming alone is encouraged. That’s kind of the point.

Join us for our inaugural gathering at Encore in Playhouse Square, where we’ll have the space privately reserved for an intimate afternoon of cocktails, conversation, and connection.

Your invitation includes:

🥂 A sparkling welcome upon arrival

🧀 Charcuterie to enjoy while you mingle

✨ A privately reserved Encore experience for The Invitation guests

💌 Thoughtfully hosted introductions and conversation moments designed to make meeting someone new feel natural

🍸 Cocktsils available for purchase at Encore’s full bar

🚗 $10 validated parking at The Lumen Garage

There is no formal agenda and no pressure to work the room. Grab a glass, settle in, and let the afternoon unfold.

Whether you’re new to Cleveland, entering a new chapter of life, your friendships have changed, or you simply want more people in your life to actually do things with — there’s a place for you here.

Come by yourself. Wear something that makes you feel good. We’ll take care of making the introductions.

Your invitation is waiting.
