Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

Join us for Mystery Matchmaking — a night of good drinks, great food, and meeting new people IRL. We're taking over Best of Kin for the evening, so come ready to mingle.

Here's how it works: when you arrive, you'll fill out a quick survey on your phone, and we'll match you with your best match at the event. Then it's up to you to find them and see where the night goes.

Come solo, bring a single friend, grab a drink, and see who you meet.

❤️‍🔥 👀 WHAT TO EXPECT

Matching will be powered by Matchbox.

Upon arrival, you’ll take a short matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s research team and curated by your host. The Matchbox algorithm uses relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning behavioural economics to identify your optimal match in the room.

You’ll meet a great group of singles.

Your match is designed to be values-aligned, not love-at-first-sight.

There’s zero pressure — be curious, have fun, and be kind.

If there is an imbalance, you may receive a platonic match. If that is the case, talk to your Thursday rep who will give you a code for a future Thursday ticket on us!
