Natural Selection 🍷A Matchbox Singles Night at Sidewalk Bottleshop
📍 Sidewalk Bottleshop🗓 Thur Aug 13⏰ 8PM–12AM 🍷 Couples who match receive a discount off wine bottles
Just a natural wine bar and romantic outdoor courtyard, everyone single 😉 Because the world in 2026 is about meeting IRL, not dating apps!
Looking for THE most charming hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale? Sidewalk Bottleshop has it all:
✅ Incredible natural wine selection✅ Cozy indoor bar for lingering conversations✅ Spacious candlelit courtyard✅ Delicious bites + rotating popups from all of South Florida's favorites✅ A bar full of singles actually open to meeting
This isn’t speed dating.It’s not an app in real life.It’s a wine-fueled social experiment.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Check in + take the Matchbox compatibility quiz via QR code by 10pm.A short matchmaking questionnaire rooted in real relationship psychology. No swiping. No bios. No questions about pineapple on pizza.
2️⃣ Mingle freelyGrab a glass. Drift between conversations. Pretend you’re in Europe for a few hours. This is still a party first.
3️⃣ The revealLater in the night, your match is revealed via text message to your phone.
👀 Maybe it’s the person you’ve been talking to all night👀 Maybe it’s someone you completely overlooked👀 Maybe it turns into discounted wine for two and a story you tell your friends later
No awkward icebreakers.No forced chemistry.Just the right room, the right energy, and a little natural selection.
Q: What if I don’t get a match?A: We aim for a 50/50 gender ratio, but hey—life happens. If the night ends with an uneven split, you'll still get a platonic match and a free ticket to a future Thursday event of your choice. You're always taken care of.
⚠️ THIS WILL SELL OUT.
See you there!
⏰ PLEASE AIM TO ARRIVE FOR 8PM to be in the matchup! Matches are drawn at 10PM. 
🪪 PHYSICAL I.D. REQUIRED. NO REFUNDS. 21+
🥰 Many attendees (40%) come by themselves, so even if you’re the only single in your friendship group, don’t hesitate to join us solo. You’ll find yourself in great company.
