What's On Tap
// Live from our Eventbrite
Real people. Real venues. Real connection.
We got tired of swiping too, so we built something better: a room full of people who actually showed up. We started hosting nights at local breweries — but connection doesn't only happen over a pint, so we've grown into coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, and more.
Wherever we're set up, the format stays the same: no apps, no algorithms, just good company and a night that might just change your love life.
What people are saying
"Went in expecting awkward silence, left with three second dates lined up. The rotating format actually works."
"I don't drink, so I was glad to see a coffee shop event on the calendar. Same great format, totally my speed."
"The bookstore night was such a good match for my personality. Quieter setting, still met some great people."

How does the rotation actually work?
You'll get a scorecard at check-in. Each "date" lasts a few minutes — when the bell rings, you move to the next seat. By the end of the night you'll have met everyone in your group.
Do I have to drink to come to an event?
Not at all. We host at breweries as well as coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, and more — check the venue listed on each event if you'd prefer a non-alcohol setting.
What if I match with someone?
Write down your top picks on the scorecard before you leave. If it's mutual, we email you both the next day so you can take it from there.
Is this LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes — every event welcomes singles of all orientations and identities. Each event has a specific demographic, and the lineup changes every month, so please double check that you're signing up for the right one before you book.
What's your cancellation policy?
We offer refunds up until 7 days before your event date. If you're unable to attend, you're welcome to roll your ticket over to a future event, as long as you let us know before your original event has started.
