Event details

Tired of swiping and ghosting on dating apps? This speed dating evening at The Bootlegger in Covent Garden lets you meet face-to-face with up to 15 single people in one night. Short rounds of around four to five minutes give you enough time to see whether there is a spark, and the atmosphere stays light and relaxed.

The Bootlegger is a stylish cocktail bar inspired by the glamour and speakeasy spirit of the 1920s, so the setting feels intimate and easy to settle into. A host from DateinaDash guides the evening and explains how everything works, whether it is your first event or you are a returning guest. Afterwards you can stay on for drinks and keep chatting. Places are limited and popular nights can sell out, so booking early is a good idea.
