The Social Experiment

You never know who you’ll meet…

We’re trying something a little different at The Patio. An interactive evening designed to make meeting new people feel natural, playful, and low pressure.

After tickets are purchased, each attending couple or single will be randomly assigned one of four theme-wear colors:

Black • Red • White • Gray

Work your assigned color into your evening look however you’d like. Go all in from head to toe, coordinate as a couple, or keep it subtle with a shirt, dress, or accent piece.

Throughout the night, we’ll share a few playful prompts inviting different color groups to mix, mingle, and strike up conversations with people they may not have met otherwise. Think of your color as an easy little nudge to step outside your usual circle, say hello to someone new, and see where the conversation leads.

Participation is not required, but it is highly suggested and encouraged for the full Social Experiment experience.

Come enjoy cocktails, music, conversation, and a relaxed evening at The Patio Lounge.
