Big Ballers: Dinner with Entrepreneurs | Abu Dhabi Social Club
Hey foodies 🥘 and entrepreneurs 💵
Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. That's right, you sign up, and we book the restaurant. We know life can get busy. Don't forget to spend time making new friends! Build your community with us while supporting locally owned businesses.
Each week is held at a different restaurant. These dinners are not directly associated with the restaurants, but are simply based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy. The pin on the map is not the location but a placeholder since each location changes week to week.
Our micro-events are intended to be for 4-6 people maximum. If the evening you signed up for does not hit the minimum number of signups, please be open to joining us on another night with a fuller group. Check out our feature in Eventbrite's 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

How does it work?
After you register, you'll be emailed an introduction message regarding age, interest, and favorite foods. We'll stay in touch with you leading up to the night of the dinner. Expect a Final Details email the day of.
Please try your best to register weeks in advance, if possible.
*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases. The registration adds you to our membership.
*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not dating gatherings. 🧍♂️ 🧍♀️
*If you sign up the day of, there's a risk of already reach our maximum for the night, or not having enough interest to move forward with a table reservation. Simply email ermantourageimpact@gmail.com for info prior to signing up.
Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone - just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect :) We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human. 🤖
