Visit at Bar Bandini at Night

Location: Echo Park

Bar Bandini is the place to be this fall. It’s cozy. It’s sexy. It has the best wine in town. And there’s programming most nights out of the week so you can show up solo and find something (or maybe someone) to keep you occupied. Trivia on Tuesdays. Comedy on Wednesdays. Sunset sounds on Sundays. And about once a month they host ‘Skin Contact’ (a night for Men Seeking Men to mingle and connect).

Backyard Sessions at Brennan's

Location: Marina Del Rey

We're testing a new concept called 'Backyard Sessions at Brennan's' on October 25th. This event will feature discounted drinks, a structured line dancing portion of the night (to help everyone break the ice a bit), followed by live acoustic tunes. While this isn’t a ‘singles’ event, the majority of the people who attend our events arrive solo, so you're bound to meet new people dancing and singing along in the lawn at Brennan's (a bar in Marina Del Rey).

Co-Working at MUD/WTR

Location: Santa Monica

MUD/WTR is an ideal spot for getting work done while soaking in the ambiance and enjoying some people-watching. Just two blocks from the beach in Santa Monica, this inviting space offers a coffee alternative in a mindfulness studio without the noise, along with fast Wi-Fi. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by wellness enthusiasts (at least based on the crowd we know). While there's no guarantee that everyone is single, it’s likely they have single friends!

Saturdaze in the Park with Skyduster Beer

Location: Echo Park

PikNik is hosting a weekly event with live bands playing beautiful music dockside at Echo Park Lake. Enjoy the sounds of Albert and his dreamboats, and enjoy beer and wine in the prettiest setting in Los Angeles. There’s something about live music, swan boats, and a picnic blanket that creates the perfect start to any rom-com moment IRL.

Westfield Century City during lunch

Location: Century City

Westfield Century City is a fantastic spot to potentially meet singles, thanks to its diverse array of stores that attract a wide range of visitors. While there's no guarantee, the lively atmosphere creates plenty of opportunities for casual encounters. Plus, with free parking for an hour with validation, you can easily stroll around, get some steps in, and enjoy window shopping both the stores and the people.

Hiking with Rescue Dogs

Location: Chino Hills + Burbank

This is adorable, for a good cause, and maybe you’ll meet another single with a big heart on the hiking trail. If not? Well you just made a lil pups day. There are a few rescues and shelters that offer this service. Two top of mind include Priceless Pet Rescue in Chino Hills and the Burbank Animal Shelter.

Read a new book at Vroman’s Bookstore

Location: Pasadena

Vroman’s, the largest independent bookstore in Southern California, has been a beloved fixture for over a century, offering a charming alternative to big-box retailers in the San Gabriel Valley. With an extensive selection of books and a helpful staff, it’s a perfect spot for finding your next read. But Vroman’s has so much more than just books—think music, luggage, jewelry, cookware, and candles. Plus, with a cozy coffee shop and a wine bar on-site, it’s an ideal place to unwind. You might even spot another single cutie engrossed in a novel.
