How to hang out with friends and just chill?

I’m friends with a couple of my flatmates etc. and some course mates but whenever we go out esp my flatmates we just drink at bars or clubs. I just wanna hang out but chill like watch tv or smth.

One of the closer friends I have here had a bf so she’s always with him so if I ask her to hang out he’ll be there too n idk I’m friends with him too but it’s more awkward. It’s less awkward when I hang out with just her but it’d be odd to ask her only if he’s there or smth.

I think I’ll join a society just to hang out with some different ppl.

I have only known these ppl for 3 months so I’m aware it may grow into more casually chilling out w each other but yeah- any advice pls!

Have you tried going to places where the core activity isn't drinking, a barcade or bowling alley might shift thw attention from drinking to socialising while still offering the ability to have a drink

I’ll try that! I just realised there might be a nearby sports bar
