Queer Speed Dating & Friend-making at LGBTQ+ Bar in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles

Click Here to Get Tickets

Are you tired of endless swiping, only to get ghosted again? Or how about trying to meet a new friend, but your schedules never match up?

If you can relate, this event is for you. All you have to do is show up! And there's even free parking. ;)

Plus, you won't have to shout over the music just to hear someone's name or peer through the dark to see their face. (Been there, done that)

Expect this event to be well-lit, laidback, and fun!

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Come in, get a drink (optional), and settle in. You’ll receive a quick and easy form to fill out with info you’d like to share with other attendees.

2. Before we start the rounds, I'll gather everyone to meet and go over some guidelines and tips. Then it’s time for the main event.

3. At the start of each 7-minute round, everyone will share what they're looking for (dating, casual hookup, friendship, etc.).

4. After 7 minutes, I will announce the time and you'll pick another section to check out. There will be 3 minutes between each round to catch your breath, visit the bathroom, or find a new table with ease. There will be up to 7 rounds.
