About us
We are ditching dating apps and going in person!
The people who attend are the ones who made the effort to get out of the house and meet someone new. That alone changes the room.
We get together at bars around Vancouver. Small groups, good venues, and conversations that happen naturally.
Some people come to meet new friends. Some are new to Vancouver and want to build a social circle. Some are looking to connect with other professionals outside of work. Everyone has their own reason for being here.
We think it is getting harder to meet people as adults. Most social circles become smaller over time, and making new connections often gets pushed aside by work, routines, and everyday life.
This group exists to make that a little easier.
If you've been meaning to get out more, meet new people, or make this summer count, we'd love to have you join us.
Who comes: Professionals aged 25 to 45 in Vancouver. Individual events may have narrower age ranges.
What we do: Casual evenings at heritage bars in Vancouver.
How often: Usually twice a month throughout the summer. The schedule may change during World Cup matches.
Cost: $21 to $45 CAD per event. Keep an eye out for special offers.

2. What’s the deadline to cancel?
Full refunds are available up to 5 days before your assigned event date. After that, tickets can be transferred to someone of the same gender.
3. Is my number safe?
Yes. Contact information is only shared when two people mutually select each other. No exceptions.
4. We are a group (more than 2), can we get a special offer?
Yes. If Eventbrite doesn’t work for your group booking, buy tickets first and send screenshots to @newcircle.bc on Instagram. We’ll arrange the group offer.
Essentially: buy one, bring one free — meaning roughly half the group attends free or each person pays around $20.
5. My friend wants to come free. What do they need to do?
They need to purchase a 2-person ticket on Eventbrite so one person attends free.
6. How do matches work?
At the end of the night, participants open the app and select who they would like to connect with. If interest is mutual, contact details are shared. If not, nothing is exchanged.
7. What’s the free mingle for?
A 20-minute open social period to talk freely. If you connected with someone earlier or missed someone, this is your chance to reconnect.
8. How do the speed dating rounds work?
There are 10 rounds of 6-minute conversations. Participants rotate between seats for structured, real conversations.
9. How does the pitching part work?
After ordering food and drinks, each person gives a 1-minute introduction. If you came with a friend, you can introduce each other.
10. How does the app work?
You sign up and answer a short set of questions designed around relationship psychology. The app is used to record your preferences, manage contact sharing, and support matching after the event.
11. What if I’m shy?
By the time the structured rounds begin, you’ll already have broken the ice during the pitching segment, so conversations feel more natural.
