Get ready for a packed night of delicious drinks, tasty bites, and effortlessly good vibes — all in one of the city’s hottest restaurants. This isn’t your average night out. We’re bringing together a big crowd of fun, friendly people who actually want to meet and mingle (no wallflowers here).

Bistro Bar Les Soeurs Grises
An artisan microbrewery with unique, savory beers and local "smokehouse" inspired cuisine. Brewed in the heart of the Old Montreal, their beers were elaborated religiously for the past decade. Whether you choose traditional beers or more unorthodox ones, their cuisine will know how to match them, all in a chic and relaxed ambiance, enough for a sister to rescind her vows.

Intro Game: Let's Meet!
Start the evening with a fun twist on speed-friending. You’ll receive a list of personal achievements like "ran a marathon" or "visited Machu Picchu". Your mission: mingle and match the labels to fellow guests.Opening
We'll take a few moments for our host to welcome everyone and introduce the event.Meet and Mingle
The rest of the evening is yours to savour; meeting friends, having conversation, and enjoying fine food and drinks.Friending Tips
1. Show Up — Even If It Feels a Bit Awkward
Friendship begins with presence. Say yes to the event, join the game, show up for the convo. Even if you're nervous or a little tired, just being there puts you in the right place for connection to happen.2. Be Curious, Not Just Interesting
Ask real questions — not just “what do you do?” People light up when they talk about their passions, weird hobbies, or favorite TV villains. Listen with curiosity, and don’t forget to share a bit about yourself too. A great conversation is a two-way street, not a TED Talk.3. Help Others Feel Welcome
Lots of people come solo or with one friend, so keep your conversation circle open and inclusive. Invite others in, introduce people to each other, and make the space feel warm. When you help others connect, good energy comes right back to you.4. Take “No” Like a Pro
If you vibe with someone and want to keep in touch — awesome! But if they’re not feeling it or don’t want to share contact info, that’s totally okay. A gracious “no problem at all!” keeps the event safe, fun, and drama-free for everyone.5. Have Fun, No Pressure
You might not meet your new best friend (or soulmate) tonight — and that’s fine. Enjoy the moment, have great conversations, and know that just by showing up and having fun, you’re building the kind of energy that leads to real friendships over time.FAQs
