Our Origin Story

It started with a simple realization: in our pursuit of health, fitness, and professional success, we had inadvertently begun to starve the most vital part of ourselves. We spent our weekends on the trails, our mornings in the gym, and our days counting calories or chasing "the grind." We had forgotten how to just be.

FirstThirstday wasn't created to be another obligation. It was created to be the antidote to them. This is about creating new friends and getting together with old ones. It is about doing something ALL of us need to do more; socialize.

"We don't want your money. We want your company."

There are no entry fees, no membership dues, and no hidden agendas. The only currency we care about is connection. We want you to show up, relax, and reconnect with the simple joy of community.

So, we have a few simple requests for you every first Thursday of the month:

  • Get off the trail. The mountains will still be there tomorrow.
  • Stop exercising. Your muscles deserve a night off.
  • Pause the diet. Good food is meant to be shared.
Just Eat, Drink, Talk, Be happy.

Join us on the first Thursday of every month for a new destination and a great time with friends or strangers-to-be-friends. Whether you bring a group or come alone, you'll find a welcoming space where there's no obligation—just good company, shared stories, and genuine fun.

The next stool is yours. We'll see you there.
