Find your city How it works

This page only adds a view. Pubs, bars and tastings stay exactly where they are on Come Alone; this is simply a list of events where the drink is not the point, so ordering a tea or a soda is the ordinary thing to do. No medical claims, just places to go.

Going alone? What to expect. Most of these are drop-in or small groups, so arriving solo is normal. Arrive a few minutes early, say hello to whoever runs it, and leave when you like. Check the official page for the date, price and booking first.

Free film night Un poeta at Montehermoso, Vitoria-Gasteiz

Centro Cultural Montehermoso

On Tuesday 3 November 2026 at 19:00 the Montehermoso cultural centre on Calle Fray Zacarías Martínez in Vitoria-Gasteiz screens Un poeta, a film in its Zinema Gaur 2026 cycle. Directed by Simón Mesa Soto, the Colombian drama follows Óscar Restrepo, an ageing and erratic man whose obsession with poetry has brought him no glory. Meeting Yurlady, a teenager from a humble background, and helping her develop her talent brings some light into his days, though drawing her into the world of poetry may not be the right path. The listing says it won the Jury Prize at Cannes and the Horizontes Award at the San Sebastián festival. The city agenda gives admission as free. A film in a cultural centre, with everyone facing the same direction, is an easy night out alone. The end time is estimated. «Zinema Gaur 2026: "Un poeta"» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:50.

Documentary screening, Hegoalde Library, Vitoria-Gasteiz

Biblioteca del Centro Cívico Hegoalde

The library of the Hegoalde civic centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz screens a documentary about two women who travel to a remote valley in Chile. According to the listing, they arrive full of fear: of hard rock, of endless rain, of aching bodies and of hormones that scramble everything. Together, by insisting, the fear slowly loosens. The session is led by Maite Zumarraga and Idoia Rubial, and the film is in Basque with Spanish subtitles. Entry is free until the room is full, so it is best to arrive a little before the start. The screening takes place on Thursday evening from 18:30 to 20:00. A mountain-adventure film in a neighbourhood library is an easy way to spend an evening alone and to chat afterwards with the other people who came. «Documental: "Las Norbet Guan.

Classics book club on the Nibelungenlied, Aldecoa House, Vitoria

Casa de Cultura Ignacio Aldecoa

On Saturday 14 November the Ignacio Aldecoa culture house in Vitoria-Gasteiz holds the November session of its classics reading club for 2026-27. The club ranges over literary movements from different periods and countries, with the sessions led by Leire Ibáñez de Gauna and always held on Saturdays at 11:00 in the Cervera room. This month's book is the Nibelungenlied, in a Spanish prose version, which the listing presents as one of the great works of world epic and the only surviving heroic epic from the age of the Staufer dynasty. The poem has thirty-nine cantos in two narrative cores, the story of Siegfried and the revenge of Kriemhild. Participation is free and the working language is Spanish. The listing gives no end time, so we assume the session finishes around 12:30. It is a good slow Saturday morning for readers who like to discuss a classic with others. «Club de lectura clásica (2026-2027): "Cantra de los Nibelungos"» Starts 11:00, ends about 12:30.

This club explores another history of the United States and the stories of other Americans, through works by authors from groups considered minorities for their ethnocultural characteristics, such as Native American, Chicano, African American or Asian American writers. The club is led by Amaia Ibarraran and meets at seven in the evening in the Amaritu room. The language is Spanish and entry is free.

History talk on free people of colour, Departmental Archives, Nantes

Archives Départementales

The departmental archives of Loire-Atlantique, in the centre of Nantes, host a history lecture on a Thursday evening about the so-called free people of colour who lived in the city in the eighteenth century. Nantes was the main French slave-trading port, and the talk uses a royal declaration of 1777, which ordered a census of Black, mixed-race and other people of colour, as a way into the subject. Some of those counted were free, though how many is hard to establish. Starting from a handful of well-documented personal journeys, the speakers, a university lecturer in early modern history, Bernard Michon, and a master's student, Garance Niget, retrace what became of several of them. It is organised with a local archaeological and historical society and lasts one and a half hours. Entry is free, doors open at 17:45, seating is limited and latecomers may not be admitted. «Conférence histoire : Les « libres de couleur » à Nantes au XVIIIe siècle» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

On Saturday 5 December the Auditorium Brigitte Engerer, at 10 rue Pierre Vidal-Naquet in Nantes, hosts a concert called Dowland and Friends by students of the Conservatoire de Nantes. To mark the 400th anniversary of the death of John Dowland, the students of the early music, voice and guitar classes celebrate the English repertoire of the 16th and 17th centuries. Mixing ancient and modern instruments, they perform works by Dowland, Byrd, Bull, Hume and their contemporaries. The listing adds that the project honours improvisation, in a lively dialogue between heritage, creation and transmission, and recalls Dowland, the English Renaissance lutenist and composer, whose melancholy songs such as Flow My Tears marked an era. The concert lasts one hour and is free, but booking is essential, with online ticketing opening a month before. The page is in French.

The listing explains that a city's built heritage is the memory of its history, a richness to preserve, improve and pass on, and asks how to reconcile change with tradition and comfort with old stonework. The charter offers some keys to approach those challenges calmly, and the question it raises is who it is for and what it is for. The talk is led by Manuel Fernandez, vice-president of the association Nantes Renaissance. Entry is free, with contact details for the association given for questions. The language is French. It starts at 18:00 and finishes at 19:30, a good fit for anyone who loves old houses. «Une charte des bonnes pratiques de restauration du Bâti ancien à Nantes» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

Tabakalera, the international centre for contemporary culture housed in a former tobacco factory in Donostia / San Sebastián, screens the 83-minute film «Venceremos» by Taxio Ardanaz on Thursday evening. The session is part of a seminar called KOOPERATIBA on documenting life and is presented by the director together with Pablo Marte. The film follows the search for a small monument to the International Brigades hidden in the mountains, historical re-enactments, museums in old battle zones, the demolition of a Francoist cross and an archaeological dig. Through these episodes it questions the link between history and its representation, with the Spanish Civil War in the background. Entry is free, and the language is Spanish. The screening starts at 19:00, and since no end time is given we assume about 20:45. «"Venceremos"» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:45.

Museo San Telmo

On Tuesday 17 November the San Telmo Museum in Donostia / San Sebastián hosts a talk by Xabier Erkizia about Memoria de Montevideo, recorded in 1961 by the Basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza.

After a detailed study of Oteiza's theories on sound and of the original document, Erkizia traces the sonic universe behind the piece and explains why it stands as a milestone in the artist's career. Entry is free, with no booking mentioned in the listing. The language is Basque. The talk starts at 19:00 and the source gives no end time, so we assume about 20:30.

Free talk on the far right and Silicon Valley, Museo San Telmo

Museo San Telmo

On Wednesday 18 November 2026 the Museo San Telmo in San Sebastián hosts a free talk titled Epidemia Ultra, from European fascism to Silicon Valley. The listing says the far right is no longer an electoral anomaly, that it governs and shapes public policy, and that in Silicon Valley it has found new intellectual and financial patrons. The speaker is Franco Delle Donne, a doctor in communication from the Freie Universität Berlin, analyst and popular explainer, who offers a map of how this phenomenon works and what room for action remains. The talk is in Spanish, the listing says it will also be streamed, and entry is free. The listing gives no end time, so about an hour and a half is assumed. A public talk in a museum is an easy way to spend an evening alone, since the discussion gives you plenty to think about and to share afterwards. «"Epidemia Ultra.

Whodunnit? murder-mystery game, Archaeological Museum, Bilbao

On Saturday 14 November the Arkeologi Museoa in Bilbao hosts Whodunnit?, a mystery game designed for the museum as part of the Musekintza programme. Only the writer Mikel Santiago knows who committed the murder in the museum, and he is present as host of the game. The story to be solved is told by three actors who play the main suspects, and the audience explores parts of the museum that are not usually visited while searching for the culprit. The listing shows two sessions, at 18:00 and 20:00, and this entry covers the first one. Entry is free, with prior registration required through the link on the page. The language is Spanish.

Three sessions and three books make up the series, and Alaine Agirre leads the group. This evening's book is Barne zerbitzuak by the Basque writer Katixa Agirre.

Film dialogue on Cría cuervos at AZ Azkuna Zentroa, Bilbao

On Tuesday 24 November 2026 AZ Azkuna Zentroa in Bilbao holds the November session of Diálogos de cine, linked to the Zinemateka cycle on the filmmakers of the Spanish transition, 1976 to 1984, tales of a country in transformation. This month the conversation centres on Cría cuervos, the 1976 film by Carlos Saura, which uses the story of an affluent Madrid family to offer a critical and symbolic look at Spanish society in the last years of the Franco era. The listing calls it one of the most representative films of the period. Kulturklik lists the price as 3 euros, and the session is in Spanish. The listing gives no end time, so about two hours is assumed. A guided film conversation is a good evening to attend alone, since everyone has just watched or discussed the same film and has plenty to say. «DIÁLOGOS DE CINE.

Persepolis film screening, Resistance Museum, Toulouse

Musée départemental de la Résistance et de la Déportation

On Wednesday 30 December the departmental Museum of the Resistance and Deportation in Toulouse, on allée des Demoiselles, shows the animated film Persepolis in a screening with a snack. The 97-minute French film of 2007, by Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi, follows Marjane as she prepares to fly back to her native city and remembers her past, plunging into the difficult and chaotic history of Iran through war, repression and dictatorship. The museum recommends it from the age of eleven. Entry is free, subject to the number of places available, and no booking is mentioned. The announcement is in French. The screening starts at 15:00 and ends at about 16:30, an easy afternoon outing that works equally well if you come alone and want to discuss the film afterwards. «Persepolis» Starts 15:00, ends about 16:30.

Free poetry recital by Felipe Juaristi in Zarautz

Sala Modelo

On Thursday 5 November 2026 at 19:00 the Sala Modelo, a cultural hall on Zigordia street in Zarautz on the Basque coast, hosts a poetry recital by the writer Felipe Juaristi titled Eurialdi. The Kulturklik agenda lists the event as free and gives the language as Basque, so it suits readers and listeners who follow Euskara or who simply like to hear the sound of poetry read aloud. The page publishes no more detail about the programme, so treat it as a short evening reading rather than a full show, and expect around an hour. Recitals are among the easiest cultural events to attend alone because the audience comes to listen, and a small town hall tends to be welcoming. Zarautz is also known for its long beach, so you can combine the visit with a walk by the sea beforehand. «Recital de poesía: Felipe Juaristi "EURIALDI"» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:00.

Book circle on «Punto bobo» by Itxaso Martin, Zarautz library

Biblioteca Municipal de Zarauz Sanz Enea

The municipal library of Zarautz, a seaside town in Gipuzkoa, organises a literary gathering around the novel Punto bobo by the writer Itxaso Martin Zapirain. The book weaves together family relationships, tensions, motherhood, silences and communication, in an intimate style of writing. The conversation is led by Nerea Loiola. The Kulturklik listing gives the time as 18:30 to 20:00 on a Thursday and states that admission is free. It gives the language as Basque, so the discussion is aimed at readers comfortable in that language. The event is held in the Sanz Enea municipal library on Nafarroa street. The listing does not say whether registration is needed. A small reading circle around one book is a relaxed way to meet other readers of the town and to hear how different people respond to the same story. «Tertulia literaria: "Punto bobo" (Itxaso Martin Zapirain)» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

The language is Spanish. The session runs from 18:30 to 20:00. Because the novel is a challenging classic with a difficult subject, the circle suits adults who like to discuss how a book is written, as well as what it says. Anyone joining will naturally want to have read the book first. «Tertulia literaria: "Lolita" (Vladimir Nabokov)» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

Katakrak Liburuak

On Wednesday evening 9 December the bookshop Katakrak on Calle Mayor in Pamplona holds the presentation of a poetry collection by the writer Xabier Etxarri, Buscando en las cenizas huellas. The synopsis describes a poem as an intuition, a glimpse of something captured in a sketch of words that sets off another intuition in the reader. The poems, it says, grow from an old rural world hidden in the cracks of time, from solitude and its rituals, from aching music, from wild and serene nature and from endless nostalgia. Entry is free and the language is Spanish. The listing gives no end time, so we assume the evening ends around 20:30. It starts at 19:00.

On Saturday 31 October 2026 at 19:00 the Filmoteca de Zaragoza holds a special Halloween session within its Zaragoza Fear Fest folk-horror programme. The evening is a double bill. First comes Aterrados, an Argentine supernatural horror in which three paranormal investigators try to explain strange events in a Buenos Aires neighbourhood, directed by Demián Rugna. After it comes Trick 'r Treat, a Halloween night in which old traditions have consequences. The listing invites the public to come in costume and bring sweets. Admission is listed as free with no reservation, seating is by order of arrival, and doors open fifteen minutes before the session. Because it is a shared cinema evening rather than a party, it suits someone coming alone, and the festive dress-up gives strangers an easy reason to talk during the break between the two films. «Aterrados.

Going out without a drink: how it works

  1. Pick your city and an event above; open the official page and check the date, price and booking.
  2. Open Meet & Mint to see who else is going and say hi in the event chat. Not there yet? Tap "+" to add it and gather a group.
  3. Join alone, say hi: every event has its own chat, and each group going together gets its own room.
  4. Order what you like. At any event with a bar, a tea or a soda is a normal order.

Questions people ask

What counts as an alcohol-free friendly event here?

Events where the activity is the point: talks, library socials, walks, board games, crafts, language cafés, daytime events, concerts in churches or libraries, and sport. We leave out anything whose title, description or venue is about drinking, such as bar crawls, tastings or apéros.

Are bars and pubs hidden on Come Alone?

No. This is an extra tag, not a filter. Every pub, bar and tasting stays in the main feed and on every city page; this page only gathers the events where nobody will notice what is in your glass.

Can I be sure an event serves no alcohol?

No. The tag means alcohol is not what the event is about, not that none is sold. Some venues have a bar. Check the official page of the event if it matters to you.
