Speed dating rounds (second half)
? Skip the swiping and come meet real people in person! ?
Need a break from the dating app grind? We hear you. Join us for an evening where you can actually look someone in the eye, share a laugh, and see where the chemistry takes you. Our mini-date setup keeps things relaxed and flowing… no awkward silences or pressure.
? We kick things off with some mingling time before the dating rounds begin. Grab a drink if you'd like (not included, but definitely helps with those first-date butterflies!), and ease into the evening at your own pace.
Hungry? The Souvlaki City Food Truck will be parked outside from 1-6pm serving up amazing Greek food! Feel free to wander over and treat yourself to some souvlaki or gyros before or during the event. Trust us… Almost Famous Brewing's craft beer pairs perfectly with those Mediterranean flavors.
? Worried about what to say? Don't be! We've got fun conversation starters for each round, and our host has a knack for creating a comfortable vibe where conversation just happens naturally. Even the most introverted guests tell us how easy it feels.
The room might get a bit lively as the night goes on and that's actually our favorite part! There's something special about a space filled with people connecting and laughing. When you hear the bell, you'll move on to meet someone new, taking all that good energy with you.
⏰ A friendly heads-up: Try to arrive about 15-30 minutes early to get settled in. We like to start on time so everyone gets the full experience.
? How our matching works: After chatting with each person, you'll simply mark "friend," "date," or "pass" on our easy matching system. If you both feel a spark, we'll share your contact details the next day. We even have paper forms if you're not a smartphone person!
This whole evening is really about genuine connections, whatever form they take. Some people meet romantic partners, others make great friends, and everyone walks away having had interesting conversations. The magic happens when you just relax and enjoy meeting new people without putting too much pressure on the outcome.
Looking forward to welcoming you!
