Good to know

Your questions, answered

Can I come alone?
Yes — and most people do. Around 80% of guests arrive solo. We greet you at the door and make introductions, so you're never standing in a corner on your own.
Who actually shows up?
A friendly mix of young professionals, students, newcomers and locals in their 20s and 30s. Everyone's there for the same reason: to meet new people in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
Is this a dating event?
No. These are social mixers about making friends and connections — everyone is welcome, singles and couples alike. The vibe is always relaxed and low-pressure, never a cheesy dating event.
What if I don't know anyone or feel shy?
Perfect — that's exactly who these events are built for. Hosted introductions and light icebreakers do the hard part for you. Within 15 minutes most people forget they came alone.
What if I can't make it?
Refunds are available if you cancel at least 7 days before the event. Inside that 7-day window we can't refund, since your spot is already held — so pick a date you're confident about.
Do events sell out?
Often, yes — spots are limited and the popular ones fill up fast. If you see an event you like, grab your ticket early so you don't miss it.
What does it cost?
Most tickets are a small cover (often around $15–$25) that helps us host a great night. You'll see live pricing and remaining spots on each event above.
