girls' night out

Women's social outing

A girls' night out is an evening of socializing where women go out together without male partners—typically to bars, restaurants, or clubs.

The phrase emphasizes female bonding and temporary escape from domestic or romantic obligations: The moms planned a girls' night out while their husbands watched the kids.

Sometimes shortened to GNO.
