Industry Singles Night

If you work in hospitality, you know the struggle of trying to date when your schedule is completely out of sync with the rest of the world. It is difficult to explain to someone with a standard nine-to-five why you are exhausted on a Tuesday morning or why you cannot reply to messages on a Saturday night. That is the gap the Industry Singles Night is trying to bridge. It is a mixer specifically for people in the trade—whether you are a bartender, chef, front-of-house staff, or working in events and security—who are looking to meet others who actually understand the reality of shift work.

The event is happening on 5 July 2026 at Barbara's Bier Haus on West Street. Doors open at 19:00, and the mixer takes place in the venue's 'Sala 2'. It is a straightforward setup: a space for people with similar lifestyles to connect without the usual friction of explaining why you are busy when everyone else is off. The official event runs until 22:00, but the venue remains open afterwards, so you can stick around if you want to make a longer night of it.

Once the mixer wraps up, the facilities at Barbara's Bier Haus are available for the rest of the evening. This includes karaoke, their 'Disco Toilets' for women, and the usual selection of beer towers and cocktails. If you are already a regular or just planning to grab a drink, it is worth noting that the industry discount remains valid throughout the night. Tickets are priced at £5.00, though it is always worth keeping in mind that prices can fluctuate. It is a simple, practical way to meet people who share your working hours in a setting that is already familiar to those of us in the industry.
