phrase-requestssingle-word-requests

Is there a word or phrase that describes the time you take off from your home or family to do an activity for your own pleasure, but not alone, such as a beer at the pub with old friends, going to the movies with a neighbor?

"Own time" would suggest spending time on your own, which is not exactly what I'm looking for.
