- **Event Description**: Thursday | Matchmaking Wine Bar (30-45) | Washington D.C.
Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!
Our favorite wine bar in D.C. is back hosting the biggest real-life dating brand – and this time, it’s all about 30+ singles. Join us on MAY 7TH, for an evening of great conversation, good vibes, and even better wine.
Whether you're new to the city or just tired of swiping, this is your chance to meet like-minded people offline in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Imagine slipping into the warm embrace of your most cherished friend’s living room—except this friend has a knack for curating some really interesting wines. That’s Barkada. Perched right between the vibrant U Street nightlife and the charming rowhomes of Shaw, it feels like a snug oasis where laughter, low-key conversation, and excellent wine come together effortlessly 
The word barkada comes from Tagalog—meaning “a group of friends.” The vibe here absolutely honors that spirit—relaxed, friendly, and just slightly cheeky 
You’ll find yourself seated in plush, lounge-y banquettes, surrounded by a thoughtfully curated selection of small-batch, organic, and “natural” wines—many are low-intervention, meaning they're minimally processed and often organically grown 
Sip, chat, and maybe even spark a connection. See you there!
Just a wine bar, everyone single 😉
See you there!

Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party.
