hangout
Where friends gather
A hangout is a place where someone spends leisure time regularly: The coffee shop became our hangout after school.
It suggests casual, repeated visits rather than formal occasions.
As a verb phrase, to hang out means to spend time idly or socially: We just hung out at her place all weekend.
