gathering place
Where people congregate
A gathering place is a location where people come together, whether regularly or for specific purposes.
The term emphasizes the social function of a space rather than its physical features—a park, pub, town square, or someone's kitchen can all serve as gathering places.
The coffee shop became a gathering place for local artists.
