Book Crush: Meet-cute at Liz's Book Bar Brooklyn

Someone's already interested. We make the introductions.

Sapphic Book Crush is a singles night for queer women and nonbinary readers at Book Club Bar — everyone in the room is single, everyone came to meet someone, and the shelves break the ice.

Before the night, you'll tell us who you want to meet and what you love reading. At the event, Asaya introduces you to 4–6 people you're already excited about — ten-minute conversations, one at a time, with plenty of open time to browse, drink, and mingle afterwards. No clipboards, no musical chairs, no shouting your handle across a bar. You'll know in ten minutes, not ten texts.

How the night goes (this event is hosted)

8:00 — Doors. Grab a drink, check in with one tap, and your evening unlocks. Say hi to the event host and mingle.

8:20 — Round one. Your phone shows exactly who you're meeting and where — you'll never wonder who to approach. The event host will let everyone know when Round 2 happens.

8:30–9:45 — More introductions, about ten minutes each, with browsing and mingling between rounds. Want an opener? We'll hand you one.

9:45 — Last round. By now the room is loud.

10:00 — Send likes on Asaya, or just trade numbers. Chats from tonight are free to open for 7 days.

You'll always know who to meet next. The rest feels like a party.

Before the night — three things (6 minutes, tops)

1. Buy your ticket. Enter your phone number at checkout so we can link it to your account.
2. Download Asaya on the App Store The app + event host handles the awkward parts so the night can feel like a party.
3. Create your profile. 3 photos. 2 questions. Done. Your responses help the right people find you, and for us to help you meet people who love what you love.
Your ticket will already be linked to your Asaya account -- we match your ticket to your phone number.
You help choose who you meet. Before the event, tell us who you’re most excited about, and we’ll use everyone’s choices to shape your introductions.
Then just show up!

Good to know

Can I come with a friend? Yes — grab separate tickets. You each get your own introductions, and there's open mingling all night.

What if a match doesn't show? No drama — you're paired with someone else who's free, and the host makes it easy.

Do I have to be a serious reader? Not at all. One book that stayed with you is plenty.

What should I bring? Yourself, your phone, and ID — it's a 21+ venue. Come as you are.
