Thursday | Meet a Cutie at The Craft (30-45) | Washington D.C.

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

One of our favorite speakeasy's in D.C. is hosting the biggest real-life dating brand – and this time, it’s all about 30+ singles. Join us on June 11th, for an evening of great conversation, good vibes, and even better cocktails.

Whether you're new to the city or just tired of swiping, this is your chance to meet like-minded people offline in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Imagine slipping into the shadows of your most sexy fantasies - except this fantasy has a knack for curating some really interesting cocktails. That’s the Craft. The Craft holds many truths at once: the craft of cocktails, the craft of art, the craft of poetry and film, the craft of honest work, and the whisper of witchcraft that ties them all together. It is a word layered with intention, much like the nights that unfold within these walls, where every detail, every drink, and every moment is, quite deliberately… crafted.

The Craft is being gracious enough to offer us happy hour for the duration of the event. $6 beer and wine. $10 classic cocktails

Sip, chat, and maybe even spark a connection. See you there!

Just a cocktail bar, everyone single 😉

See you there!

✨ Ticket includes access to Matchbox matching!

🍸 Drinks and mingling with 50+ singles, 30+

We're teaming up with Matchbox Parties for an unforgettable night of matchmaking at Vera Cocina!

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. It optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click.

More about Match Box

• The matching process is highly intentional - come with an open mind!
• If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.
• At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind 💘

Event Structure:

• This event is highly intentional and the matching will proceed on schedule. Please be on time to avoid missing out.
• 6:45pm - the event begins on time, grab a drink, fill in the survey and start mingling
• 7:30pm - The Algorithm begins computing matches

FAQs:

Q: What if I don’t get a match?
A: We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio 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 free ticket to a future event of their choice, valid for 60 days after this event.
