Question 1

Can I come alone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most people actually show up solo. Everyone is there for the same reason, so it stops feeling “solo” pretty fast. You’ll settle in quicker than you think.

Question 2

Is this a dating event?

Accepted Answer

No. IRL isn’t built just for matchmaking (though our SINGLES salons are).
People come for conversation, not romance.
If two people are romantically available and end up clicking, that’s cool, but its not the event’s purpose. You can be in any kind of relationship situation or none at all.

Question 3

What if I’m shy or introverted?

Accepted Answer

This event is perfect for you. We put you with 2-3 friendly people who want to connect. We provide the structure that makes it easy to talk.
And if you need a moment, there’s a quiet Social Battery Recharge Station where you can step away and reset.

Question 4

Is this a safe space?

Accepted Answer

Yes - fully. IRL is intentionally open, inclusive, and welcoming to everyone.

All genders, sexualities, races, and identities belong here. We don’t tolerate disrespect, exclusion, or anything that makes someone feel small.

Question 5

Is there food and/or alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Food will not be available during the event (you can’t talk while chewing!), but there is a bar with alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks for purchase.

Question 6

Do I need to bring or prepare anything?

Accepted Answer

Just bring yourself and an open mind. We’ll do the rest.

Question 7

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Most people dress “casual but I might meet someone cool tonight.” Wear whatever that means to you.

Question 8

Is it accessible?

Accepted Answer

This event is on the second floor of Armada Brewery, there is not an elevator.
