On February 13—traditionally known as Galentine’s Day—dating gets a bold and unique upgrade in Downtown Los Angeles. At the stylish Bike Shed Moto Co. in the Arts District, “All Hands on Deck” turns the spotlight away from dating apps and hands the microphone to the real MVPs: best friends.
Here’s how it works: instead of pitching themselves, singles are nominated by their girlfriends. Each friend gets four minutes on stage to make the case—why she’s the ultimate catch, what makes her special, and exactly why someone in the crowd should step forward and claim the date.
Think less awkward small talk, more full-blown hype squad energy.
The format is fast, funny, and refreshingly real. No filtered selfies. No bios crafted at midnight. Just authentic testimonials from the people who know you best. When a pitch hits the right note, potential matches are invited to literally step forward. It’s part matchmaking, part live entertainment, and entirely unpredictable.
Set inside the industrial-chic atmosphere of the Arts District hotspot, the evening blends cocktails, community, and a little courage. Whether you’re on stage, being pitched, or scanning the room for someone whose friend just delivered a mic-drop endorsement, everyone is there for the same reason: genuine connection.
Galentine’s Day has always been about celebrating friendship. This year, it might just spark a love story too.
