Just a pub, everyone single, with matchmaking powered by Matchbox, and a night that’s all about meeting IRL.
Known for its warm "neighborhood pub" atmosphere, Kârciuma is more than just a place to eat, it’s a social hub where community and comfort food meet.
❤️🔥 MATCHING POWERED BY MATCHBOX
Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries.
The algorithm optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you click.
🧠 HOW IT WORKS
1. Upon arrival, you’ll take a short matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s research team and curated by your host.
2. The Matchbox algorithm uses relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economics to identify your optimal match in the room.
3. After mingling with the whole group, a series of clues brings you closer.
4. Matches are revealed later in the night.
🌟 WHO IT’S FOR
This event is for straight singles 25-45.
👀 WHAT TO EXPECT
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.

❓ FAQs
Q: What if I don’t get a match?
We aim to maintain a balanced event but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically. These people receive a complimentary ticket to a future Thursday event, valid for 60 days after this event.
Q: What is your refund policy?
No refunds will be granted.
