SUMMARY:Sunday Social Drinks at Café Lust — International Locals Meetup
DESCRIPTION:A small\, intentionally international group of locals and long-term expats meets for drinks and easy conversation at Café Lust\, a cozy neighborhood bar in De Pijp. Capped at around 20 people to keep things genuinely social rather than overwhelming — the kind of event where you might actually make a friend. English is the official language. Sign up even if the event shows full; the waitlist moves. \nWhere: Café Lust\, Cornelis Trooststraat 49I \nMore info & tickets
