North Kerry After Work Social - Tralee

What to Expect

The North Kerry After Work Social is a monthly meetup organised by Grow Remote for people who work remotely or in hybrid roles around Tralee and the surrounding area, held at McCaffrey’s Bar on Bridge Street. It runs on the last Thursday of every month, giving remote workers who might otherwise have little regular contact with colleagues a fixed, informal chance to meet others in similar working arrangements over a drink. There is no set agenda or speaker slot; it is a straightforward social gathering aimed at building a local network for people whose day-to-day work doesn’t involve a shared office.

Grow Remote also runs a WhatsApp community for attendees to stay in touch between meetups and to share the exact monthly date and any updates, since the social’s timing follows the calendar rather than a fixed date each month. The group welcomes newcomers who are new to remote work or new to North Kerry and looking to meet people, and it has become one of the more consistent recurring social fixtures for the area’s growing remote workforce. Photos and videos may be taken during the event for the organiser’s social media channels.

The North Kerry group is part of a wider network of Grow Remote local chapters set up across Ireland’s towns and rural areas, aimed at countering the isolation that can come with fully remote work outside a city. McCaffrey’s Bar on Bridge Street was chosen as a central, easy-to-find venue in Tralee, and the informal setting keeps the bar to a low commitment: no sign-up required beyond turning up on the night.
