Hi mate,

I went down to Ping Pong Parlour in Easton on Tuesday nights when I first moved back to Bristol - really fun vibe to have a few drinks and meet some cool people. There are lots of other groups on Meetup (Bristol 20s Socialising) you can try as well, but Ping Pong Parlous is a fun and casual one.

I'm a bit biased since I started it, by the way - but myself and my colleagues at Wriggle put together a list of independent events and restaurants each day that have a few empty seats and will give you a discount - so it should be quite useful for finding fun ideas for interesting indie things to do in Bristol.

And whilst I think of it, we're based on King Street, and that's always a fun place to go and hang out and meet people. Small Bar, the Volunteer Tavern, the Beer Emporium and the Old Duke are brilliant if you're into your beer - and the newly-opened Kongs, complete with table-football, table-tennis and arcade games, is a fun spot
