Bay Area Bruins: Welcome to the Bay

Welcome to the Bay! UCLA Alumni Happy Hour Hey Bay Area Bruins! Is it just us, or do you kind of miss the buzz of True Bruin Welcome and Fall Quarter starting up? While we might not be heading back to Westwood this autumn, we can bring a little bit of that blue and gold magic right here to the South Bay! Whether you’re a fresh 2026 graduate looking to find your local crew, or a seasoned alum who just wants to swap stories about Kerckhoff coffee and Pauley Pavilion, you are so welcome here. Let’s raise a glass, swap business cards (or just social handles), and kick off the season together. We can’t wait to welcome you to the neighborhood!

Where: Loma Brewing Company (130 N Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos) What to expect: Light bites are on us???? and great conversations will be flowing.
Drinks: Buy-your-own drinks Loma has an amazing lineup of fresh craft beers, draft cocktails, and non-alcoholic options.
Attire: Casual! Feel free to throw on your favorite UCLA gear if you want to show some school pride.
RSVP: Let us know you're coming so we can get an accurate headcount for the snacks!
