Solo or with a friend: we make it easy to sign up either way
Unforgettable: new people, new places, the evenings quickly take on an exciting and friendly vibe
Unconstrained: talk to whomever you want, and listen or join in on the conversation whenever you choose
Unique: the only way to meet so many new people, while enjoying a night out
No speed or online dates: enjoy one cozy group for the evening, and real face-to-face conversations

Want to meet new people? At HopToDate, that happens all by itself, just during a fun night out.

Why HopToDate?

Six great reasons to join our next bar-hopping event!

WE ARRANGE EVERYTHING
All guests are provided with a personal schedule, with details about where to go and which teams to join at each location. We always have tables and seats reserved to make for an easy, stress-free experience.
NO 1-ON-1
Forget the awkward silences and grasps for conversation. Do you click with someone a little less? No problem! There are always several other people at the table to keep the conversation moving.
REAL ENCOUNTERS
Networking apps and social media are full of canned personal statements coupled with old and doctored photos. HopToDate events bring you into live contact with motivated single people.
AFFORDABLE
The chance to meet so many new people for the price of a few drinks is a great value.
3 LOCATIONS
At each location, you will meet 4 to 8 new singles for 60–90 minutes. Enough time for real conversations and impressions.
INCLUDING AFTERDRINK
For some guests the AfterDrink is the best part of the evening. All the teams come together at the last location for another chance to meet more singles & to catch-up with new friends from the previous locations.
Secure online registration and payment

Sign up: solo or with a friend

We welcome single people especially, but some people prefer to join with a friend, that’s great! We can ensure that you are placed on the same team, or not, if you prefer to mix it up.

Meet new people at 3 to 4 locations

We provide a schedule for the evening and also reserve a table at the various locations. In each bar, you and your team will meet two other teams so there’s no shortage of fun conversations!

Meet all participants at the final location

You will of course end the evening in style! At the end of the evening, all participants come together for an after drink. You’ll probably meet a lot more people here, because it’s impossible to meet everyone while bar hopping. An after drink with 50 people is great fun, but 200 participants or more is certainly not uncommon!

Let us know who you want to see again

For such cases, we provide the option to indicate afterward who you would like to see again. We will only disclose your contact details to each other if this is also mutual.

Meeting singles in Chicago, IL

Let’s face it—swiping, blind dating, and speed dating are often not the most natural way to meet new singles. Many people find it unnatural and difficult to have a pleasant conversation during such encounters. HopToDate is a good alternative to the traditional speed date or blind date:

You'll meet other singles in a casual and relaxed atmosphere
In each bar, you'll meet new people and have 60–90 minutes to get to know them better
No awkward silences or awkward conversations
No 1-on-1 situations; just 6–8 other participants per bar sitting together at one table
It almost feels like going out with your group of friends

In short, HopToDate has a lot of advantages compared to other dating forms! It’s just super social and fun to do. So be sure to check out our upcoming events in Chicago, IL.

Going out in Chicago, IL with a friend

Not everyone likes to meet up alone with a stranger at a location you often don’t know. And what if the date doesn’t go so well? It’s a lost evening you could better spend with friends.

What if there is a single dating activity you could also do with your BFF? When registering for a HopToDate event, you will be asked whether you want to participate alone or with a friend. This means you can take someone else with you to go from bar to bar! This way you will always have a nice evening together with other singles! Double fun guaranteed!
