About this Event
This Social Salon follows the same format as our Social Salon events, but this one is just for singles.
Our social salons are small-group conversation nights for adults who want an evening out that is way more interesting than the usual bar scene.
You’ll be guided through thoughtful conversation starters in small groups (never one-on-one), with plenty of room for things to unfold however they do. If sparks fly, great. If you just meet some new people you like being around who are also single, also great!
All genders and orientations are welcome!
Come alone or with a friend. We start promptly at 6:45pm so show up a little early so you can settle in!

You're going to meet a lot of people tonight.
IRL Singles Salon is a structured social event for single adults who are done waiting for a good way to meet people. Its not speed dating or an unstructured bar night. And there won't be ANY swiping.
Here's what actually happens: you rotate through small groups of three to four people over the course of the night. Each group gets a creative conversation prompt — the kind that produces real stories and actual personality, not just job titles and hometowns.
By the time the night is over you'll have met most of the room. If you hang out for last call, you'll get a chance to meet the rest of them.
How it works
• You arrive, pick a bracelet (or multiple bracelets) indicating what you're open to — just friendship, romance, or something casual.
• You get a token — that determines how you move through the room for each round so you always know where you're going.
• You'll always be at a table with 2-3 other people, we don't do awkward one-on-one convos.
• Rounds are around 15 minutes each - long enough to relax into a fun conversation without getting stuck. A small light at your table tells you where you are in the round - and when its time to switch tables.
• At the end of each round everyone moves simultaneously.
• After the final seated round there's a standing bar round — a chance find someone you haven't met yet!
A few things worth knowing
• Coming alone is completely normal. Most people come on their own.
• We have a contact info rule: you can offer yours to anyone. Nobody can ask for yours.
• This is not speed dating. There's no buzzer. Nobody is evaluating you in 90 seconds.
• The prompts are good. They're designed to produce real conversation, not small talk. And if your convo happens to go in a completely different direction - thats great too!
What to expect
• Doors open 30 minutes before the event starts (6:15pm) — grab a drink, get settled
• Event starts on time. Always. If you're running late you'll be seated at the start of the next round.
• Dress code: whatever you'd wear to a night out at a nice brewery.
• Drinks available for purchase from the venue bar — not included in ticket price.
Parking
There is a private parking lot available, but if its full when you arrive - there's easy and free parking on the street also.
