Love on Draft: Singles Takeover at Mercado Gonzalez, Costa Mesa, CA
Join us for the first Love on Draft Singles Takeover at Mercado Gonzalez, where you shop, sip, and meet people along the way, with live music playing all night.
Your evening includes: ❤️ Wear red and grab your name badge and wristband at check in so other singles know you're part of the event 🎶 Live music all night 🎟️ Your choice of a $10 Mercado gift card or a drink ticket for our special drink menu sponsored by Kilinga 🌮 A relaxed, no pressure way to meet people while you browse the puestos
Why Choose Love on Draft? We specialize in hosting unique singles events at local hotspots including breweries and coffee shops, and now, a grocery hall. This event is inspired by a viral, unofficial singles mixer that took over a Trader Joe's in San Francisco, and we're bringing that same energy to Mercado Gonzalez.
Come experience meeting people the way it should feel. Authentic, low pressure, and centered on real interactions in a space you'd already want to be in.
How It Works This is not a speed dating event. There are no scheduled rotations or timed dates. Wear red, and pick up your name badge and wristband at check in. Everyone attending is free to approach anyone else wearing one throughout the store. Meet people the way you would if you happened to bump into someone while grocery shopping, all set to live music playing throughout the night.
Ticket Options General Admission $15, $20 at the door. Choose one option at checkout: 🎁 Gift Card Ticket: includes a $10 Mercado Gonzalez gift card to use at any of the puestos inside the store, during the event or on a future visit 🍹 Drink Ticket: includes one drink from our special menu, sponsored by Kilinga, for guests who would rather use their credit at the bar instead
