Anti dating app social - Amsterdam Singles BODA night

The original anti- dating app socials are hitting Bar Blij. 

Looking for your own meet-cute moment?  Welcome to BODA (Bored of Dating Apps) – the offline dating community bringing thousands of singles together across the UK, North America, and now Amsterdam.

For one evening, we're taking over Bar Blij for a singles night designed to make meeting people feel effortless. 

Inspired by the charm of a 90s rom-com, expect organic conversations over cocktails, wine, beers and good music in a relaxed neighbourhood bar filled with genuinely interesting single people.

No apps. No algorithms. No catfishing. No speed dating. No awkward name tags or forced rotations.

Just good energy, meaningful conversations, and a space designed to make meeting people feel easy again.

Our hosts (think professional wingwomen and wingmen) will be there throughout the evening to welcome you, introduce you to new people if you'd like, and ensure the atmosphere stays warm, respectful and fun for everyone.

Whether you're hoping to meet someone romantically, make new friends, or simply enjoy a brilliant night out, this is your invitation to do something different.

After all, the best stories rarely begin with "we matched on an app."

What to expect

✨ A room full of single people who are actually looking to meet in real life
🍸 A beautiful neighbourhood bar with cocktails, wine, beer and music
💬 Conversation starters to help break the ice naturally

At its core, BODA is about creating spaces where people feel comfortable enough to put their phones away and talk to someone new.

No pressure. No expectations.
