Thursday | Salazar Singles Pop the balloon (Live Edition) 🎈 | Washington D.C.

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

DC next up we are descending into Salazar’s sultry underbelly, where the basement bar flirtatiously whispers, ‘Lose your worries and shake your hips.’ It’s a shadow-drenched playground crowned by red-hued lighting and that commanding DJ booth that practically seduces you to dance on the banquettes—yes, climbing is not just allowed, it’s expected. Five TVs flicker with beats, the bar keeps your tequila refills flowing, and the vibe is cheekily intimate, like a knowing wink only you can decode. It’s going to be the perfect location for our Thursday nights with over 150 singles!

This one’s not your usual singles night – this one’s live, and brutally honest.

Here’s how it works:
We bring up six brave volunteers – five holding balloons, and one stepping up to pitch themselves as a potential match.

As the person up front reveals things about themselves – height, habits, values, maybe even a few red flags – the balloon-holders listen closely.
And when someone hears a dealbreaker?
💥 They pop their own balloon.
No drama, no explanations – just “nope, I’m out.”

Then we flip it – woman in front, guys holding balloons. Same game.
It’s real, it’s raw, it’s ridiculously fun.

Whoever still has a balloon at the end? That’s your match – or at least someone who passed your personal vibe check.

Way more real than swiping. Way more fun than pretending. Just you, some balloons – and the truth

See you there!
