Any recommendations for free or inexpensive place?
Places I can think of:
Coffee shops
Breweries and pubs
Libraries
Parks
Small scale music concerts
Axe throwing
Malls
University campuses



Parcs are a good one!
Depending on where you are, you might be able to add: sport associations, church yards, museums.
I like how you added University campuses, because I think most universities understood quite well that students need sons chill spaces to socialize and relax. Unfortunately, the rest of the world has mostly been eroding those places and aim to turn a profit out of them.
Are there museums people regularly go to and just chill and chat? I’ve never seen that.
