Thursday | Cocktails & Dreams + Live Matching | Narodni Bar & Books.

Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2025 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

Bar & Books says: "The Most Refreshingly Civilized Places to Meet. 

Founded in 1990 in New York City, BAR AND BOOKS set a new standard for Cigar Bars worldwide by redefining the concept of hospitality. Our signature is creating an inviting ambience along with a discerning selection of spirits and cigars with a style of service that is second to none.

In addition to our New York location Hudson Bar and Books, going back 35 years ago , Týnská Bar and Books - going back 23 years ago - was opened as sister bar in the Czech Republic, located in the heart of Prague's scenic Old Town."

Narodni Bar & Books is the newest location, and we invite to a classy evening of drinks & dating.

Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s 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.

How it works:

• Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.
• The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.
• After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!

Who it’s for:

• This event is for people 35+

What to expect:

• 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.

Note: Matches are not guaranteed, of course.

FAQs:

Q: What age range is the event for? A: This event is for mid-thirties+.

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. 

Q: What is your refund policy? A: We need to balance the party, and that involves planning! So, no refunds can be granted.

Just a bar, everyone (at the event) single 😉
