Our popular social Singles Party attracts a growing crowd of guests aged 30–45 each month. Meet up to 160 eligible Londoners in a fun, relaxed setting built for great conversation and easy introductions.
A few moments from King’s Cross station you will find Drake & Morgan, a trendy and cosmopolitan bar spread over two floors with a great atmosphere and eclectic crowd.

For those who like a bit of dance floor action, the venue has a DJ keeping the energy high and good times flowing in the basement bar until late.
Your hosts will be at the venue ready to welcome you at 19:30. They will be wearing a big smile and easy to spot, but if you’re uncertain just ask one of the friendly bar team.
Hosts will indicate the area reserved exclusively for our event, offer you an optional name sticker, and direct you to where to leave your jacket. A complimentary welcome drink is offered to guests arriving before 20:00 – no better reason to arrive in good time!
When comfortable, your hosts will introduce you to other guests and aid group mingling. Singles parties are more casual and informal in structure – a great opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded single people in a relaxed and fun environment. Our hosts will be there from start to finish to ensure you have the chance to meet everyone and make any special introductions at your request.
With around 160 guests at every party, there is heaps of opportunity to make new connections, enjoy a couple of drinks, and soak up the atmosphere.
After the evening concludes, you can access the event listing in your dashboard to enter feedback on those you have met and await your matches. A match is struck when two guests reciprocate identical feedback; indicating mutual intent to reconnect and enabling messaging via our online platform.

Singles Cocktail Chemistry Masterclass | Ages 30 to 45
The Alchemist, 16-18 Eastcheap, EC3M 1BD, United Kingdom, GBBOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 HERE.
Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! Shake up your dating game with 24 high-spirited singles at this unique mixology masterclass, led by the cocktail magicians at The Alchemist.
Learn step-by-step how to create one of The Alchemist’s classic cocktails in a lively, interactive session — with the occasional surprise along the way! Whether you’re a little Old Fashioned or more Cosmopolitan, you’re sure to find something (and possibly someone) that stirs your senses. So, don’t be a Moscow Mule — come along and enjoy the best fun you’ve had mixing and mingling in a Long (Island Iced Tea) time.
Arrive at 19:30 to be welcomed by your host, who will direct you to the private event area, provide a name sticker, and give you a quick low-down on how the evening will run.
During the masterclass, you’ll be split into mixed groups designed to break (or crush?) the ice, spark conversation, and discover shared passions — perhaps a love of the perfect Fruit Martini! Between sessions, mingle with other guests or relax and discuss the art of the perfect Negroni with a newfound connection.
The cocktail you create is yours to enjoy, and additional drinks are available to purchase from the bar. Your host — affectionately dubbed ‘pretty fly for a Mai Tai’ — will be on-hand throughout to keep the cocktails and good times flowing. After the class, a resident DJ will take over for anyone in the party mood.
Following the event, post-event matching will be available via your It’s a Date dashboard, so you can continue the conversation or schedule a second date at your own pace.
If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with James on 07517 065 492 or james@itsadate.club.
