BODA Porto Launch - Drinks Singles Night

🇵🇹 Bored of Dating Apps Presents: Corks + Covers with FUNQ + Rosebud Bookshop

Bored of Dating Apps? So are we.

After hosting sold-out events across London, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto and beyond, BODA is finally coming to Porto.

Join us for an evening designed to make meeting people feel human again. No awkward speed dating, no forced games, no endless swiping. Just natural wine, great music, a colourful, cosy atmosphere, a beautiful outdoor space, and a room full of people who want to meet IRL.

BODA exists to make dating feel human again. Since launching, our events have led to multiple weddings, BODA babies, thousands of friendships and countless relationships.

BODA is founded on kindness, courage and respect. We’re an anti-ghosting community, have zero tolerance for creepy behaviour, and encourage you to date outside of your ‘swipe type’.

Whether you meet your future partner, a new friend, or simply leave feeling a little more hopeful, our goal is simple: to create a space where meeting people in real life feels romantic again, so everyone has the chance to experience their own meet-cute.

✨ What to expect:

• 95% of guests come solo
• BODA hosts who’ll act as your official wingwomen + wingmen
• Natural wine, great music and conversation in FUNQ’s vibrant, cosy space
• A relaxed evening with zero pressure — move at your own pace
• We’re teaming up with Rosebud Bookshop, so bring a pre-loved book to gift to someone you’d love to continue the conversation with - something that’s made you laugh, cry or think! Write a personalised handwritten note in the front of the book to the person you’re gifting it too about why you’ve brought the book + what you liked about it. You can gift the book to anyone in the room who you’d like to see again, it doesn’t have to be romantic! The evening is all about connections and community.

Please note:

This event is exclusively for singles.

Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person of the same gender.

By attending, you acknowledge that photography and short-form video content may be captured during the event for BODA’s marketing and social media channels. If you’d prefer not to appear in any content, simply let a member of our team know when you arrive and we’ll happily accommodate this.

Please drink responsibly and treat everyone with kindness and respect. BODA has a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment or inappropriate behaviour, and anyone making others feel uncomfortable may be asked to leave.

Put the apps away for one evening. You never know who you’ll meet when you simply show up.

We can’t wait to meet you.
