What is Grub Club?

Ignite Your Young Professionals with an Engaging In-Person Educational Lunch Series

Grub Club is a unique and interactive event that activates your young professionals by bringing them together over lunch to learn about Hartford, HYPE, and how to maximize their downtown experience. Managed and presented by HYPE, each Grub Club event is curated for your young professional’s interests and needs. Companies provide onsite space to host the event and lunch for your staff while the HYPE team manages everything else.
