hangouts
Regular gathering places
Hangouts are places where people regularly spend time in a casual, relaxed way: The coffee shop became our usual hangout.
The word suggests informality and familiarity—a neighborhood bar, a friend's basement, a park bench.
To hang out is to spend time without particular purpose: We just hung out and watched TV.
