What would a more inclusive event look like?
Going to a bar and having people socialize with a no-alcohol policy? That gives off a weird puritan vibe.
More formal/structured activities are likely to be more exclusionary since people have different ideas about what is fun. Or may not feel comfortable participating in things because of disabilities etc. In a bar at least people are free to make their own fun and come and go as they please.
- mtrimpe 13y agoSomething that would quickly come to mind is something like dim-sum or high-tea adapted to evenings and crowds of varying size. Probably just changing the focal point from the bar to the buffet and encouraging seating instead of standing would create a completely different atmosphere. Another variable you could consider playing with is moving from self-service to being served; where the waiters are instructed to dial down the frequency when guests get too far along. Ironically enough unlimited drinks is something that could work fairly well in this context, as long as the implication that excessive boozing is discouraged and will not be enabled by the waiting staff.
