Weekday Lunch at Balboa Cafe

Singles Mingle @ Cali Club in Berkeley 21+ FREE ENTRY!

**Come join us for Singles Mingle @ Cali Club on Saturday, November 7th!** *Cali Club in Berkeley* offers a spacious downstairs entertainment area with comfy couches, pool table, giant Connect Four, TVs, food and drinks. This is a unique spot and we enjoyed it the first 3 times around, so lets do it again! * Check-in: 7–10pm * Wristbands provided * Icebreaker game * Free entry * Food and drinks available for purchase **Age Info:** This event is for ages 21 and up! If you’re curious about the typical age range, it can be hard to predict, as many attendees discover the event through online advertising and don’t RSVP in advance. Because of this, I don’t always know exactly who or what ages will be attending—this is also a big reason the event is free to attend. Based on my experience hosting 200+ events, the predominant age range tends to be 30–65, though each event is unique and attracts a diverse mix of people. ***Check-in information:*** Arrive whenever you'd like but wristband and icebreaker distribution is only from 7pm-10pm. After 10pm, the party will continue but the wristbands will be no longer available. Wristbands allow other members to identify you as a fellow party member. **Be sure to locate the host upon arrival and receive a wristband and an icebreaker game! I'll be right at the entrance, impossible to miss me!** **NO RSVP REQUIRED! JUST SHOW UP AND JOIN THE PARTY!** **A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE MALE-TO-FEMALE RATIO:** The male-to-female ratio you see on Meetup is not the whole story. These events are promoted across numerous platforms, social media, online advertising, shared by members, sent to friends, and discovered in countless other ways. Many people who attend never RSVP on Meetup at all. I’ve also been told by several women that they intentionally don’t RSVP because they prefer to attend more incognito, so please keep that in mind when looking at the RSVP ratio for any Singles Mingle event. There is simply no way for me to know or guarantee the gender ratio beforehand, especially since the vast majority of Singles Mingle events are FREE and open to singles from everywhere. On the rare occasion that an event does have a small entry fee, it’s typically only $10. Either way, you’re never committed to staying! Come check out the crowd, mingle for a bit, and if the event isn’t what you were hoping for, you’re always free to head out and continue with your evening. 😊 **⭐ A QUICK NOTE ABOUT RATINGS** Please keep in mind that **low ratings affect the entire Singles Mingle community, not just one event.** The higher the group’s overall rating, the more likely new singles are to join, which means **more people at events and more opportunities for everyone to make connections.** If you attend an event and don’t enjoy something about it, I strongly encourage you to **DM me or share your constructive feedback in your written review**, but please consider giving the overall group **5 stars.** Tell me what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d like to see improved. I do read the feedback and use it when planning future events. A few low ratings can bring down the overall group rating very quickly. If we fall into the **4.4 or 4.3 range**, it becomes much harder to attract new members, which ultimately hurts the same members who want bigger and better turnouts. There really aren’t many outlets like Singles Mingle in the Bay Area, and I’m trying to protect what we’ve built and keep it growing. ❤️ **Members who leave a 1 or 2 star rating may be removed from the Meetup group.** You are still welcome to find and attend Singles Mingle events through the other platforms where they’re advertised, but Meetup membership is reserved for those who want to support the continued growth of the group. **Every 5 star rating helps more singles find us.** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Thank you for helping keep this community going!** **DISCLAIMER:** This event is advertised on multiple social media platforms, so the RSVP count may not reflect the actual attendance. The host is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged belongings. Additionally, the host is not responsible for the DJ, live band, or any music played at the venue. **Please bring PHYSICAL ID \~** **ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER:** Food and drinks are available for purchase and not included with Singles Mingle. **Mission Statement:** Singles Mingle is on a mission to get singles off of dating apps and out meeting one another in person. Our goal is to offer a refreshing alternative to dating apps by providing monthly events where singles can meet, make friends, and enjoy a lively social atmosphere. We believe in the power of face-to-face connections and aim to create a space where individuals can step out of their comfort zones, delete the dating apps, and experience the genuine joy of mingling. Join us at Singles Mingle and let's redefine the way you approach meeting new people.
