Are You Joining Us for Dinner?

Hamilton has a food scene that keeps getting better. Often the best part of a meal is the people you share it with.
We have launched The Vibe Hamilton Dinner Club, a fun, low-pressure way to connect with people who share similar values and interests.
Here’s how it works;
1. You take the dinner quiz and get matched with 5 other dinner guests based on your personality, food preferences, budget, etc. You can even book a plus 1 if you prefer.
2. The morning of the dinner, you’ll find out what restaurant in central Hamilton the six of you will be meeting at. After dinner, all dinner groups will be invited to meet up at a nearby spot to continue the evening and meet other diners.
3. Booking is $15 - a portion of which we are donating to local food banks and the rest goes to supporting The Vibe to run the dinner. Each guest pays for their own meal and drinks.
Tables are filling up so come and join us

While we are a digital company, we work and live in the city of Hamilton, acknowledging that it stands on the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas peoples. This land is part of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant — an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources of the Great Lakes region. It is also covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, signed between the British Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Today, Hamilton is home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island (North America). We recognize our responsibility to learn more about the rich histories and ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities, so we can better honour our roles as residents, neighbours, partners, and caretakers of this land
