You don’t just attend. You belong, more each season.
Most clubs end when the night ends. Here, every season you go deeper, from a face at the table to someone who shapes the whole thing.

How it works
Pods, not parties.
A typical season
What 6 months looks like.
Two gatherings every month. Different formats. Different parts of the city. Same 8 faces across all of them.
Each pod picks its rhythm within the tracks members chose. You’ll know your calendar 2 weeks ahead, every time.
* Monthly membership covers matching and organization. Food, drinks, and activity costs at each gathering are paid by members individually — not by thesame8.

A rule, not a slogan
A third of every pod is Portuguese.
Most expat circles in Lisbon run 90% foreign. Not here. Every pod is at least 30% Portuguese. Portuguese get 10% off.
