Thursday | Lock 91 (30+) | Manchester

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

You guys asked. We listened. Thursday presents the first of many 30+ events; because it’s never too late to find your person, your situationship or your partner in crime for overpriced tapas and impulse city breaks.

We are taking over Lock 91 in Deansgate – a tucked away gem that’s cosy, classy and effortlessly cool to bring you a night of relaxed, low-pressure mingling with people who actually get your references (yes, we remember LimeWire too).

Hidden just off Deansgate Locks, Lock 91 brings speakeasy vibes with a twist  and yes, there’s a gorgeous canal-side terrace for that golden hour flirt sesh 🍸🌇

📍 Lock 91 Lounge Bar, Deansgate

🗓️ Thursday, 31st of July, 2025

👥 Singles 30+ only

🎟️ On the door & advance tickets available

What to expect:

• A room full of over-30s who are done with swiping and just want a drink and a decent convo
• Music, energy, and real connection, without any of the weird speed-dating pressure
• Outdoor terrace, cocktails, and just enough candlelight to romanticise your life
• A totally casual vibe, come solo or bring your single crew

Let’s face it, dating apps are exhausting.

This is Thursday. It’s easy. It’s human. And it might just be your favourite night out this summer.

Just a bar, everyone single 😉

See you there!
