Open Love + Cocktails Launch EVENT
Join us as we close out a massive year with Open Love + Cocktails—an event that’s all about connection, community, and celebration. Unlike our usual play events, this one’s a relaxed social catch-up, perfect for reconnecting and catching up with lifestyle friends (or making new ones!) before we jump into another year of big dance events.
Hosted by our team of vibrant solo femmes, ranging from their late 20s to mid 40s, Open Love + Cocktails aims to gather a like-minded, diverse group of poly folks, swingers, kinksters, and queer individuals, plus anyone else looking to join a welcoming, open-minded crew. Everyone’s invited to join us at our King Street rooftop beer garden, just a short walk from Southern Cross Station in Melbourne (location is sent automatically post ticket purchase to ensure we don’t have unticketed or unvetted single/ solo male presenting guests turn up).
Choose from our bottomless drink packages for those looking to indulge, or grab an entry only ticket to keep it casual and buy as you go. There’s also a range of delicious food options if you’re feeling peckish.
Arch Angel Carly (she/her) will be our MC for the night, leading the fun alongside our team of friendly femmes. And, of course, we’ve got a DJ spinning tunes to keep the vibe just right. Let’s celebrate a year of connections, fun, and community in a relaxed setting and in style—come unwind, connect, and toast to an incredible 2025 together! Guests who are yet to attend a dance event such as KRAVE or BERLIN XXX are most welcome and encouraged to attend.
Why You Can’t Miss Open Love + Cocktails
- Build Meaningful and Fun Connections: Whether you’re a swinger, polyamorous, kinky, or just exploring ethical non-monogamy (ENM), this event provides a safe space to connect, share, and grow within a like-minded community.
- Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion: Our community is built on a shared approach to relationships, welcoming everyone—swingers, kinksters, polyamorous folks, queer people, and beyond. No matter where you are on your ENM path – beginner or the more experienced, this event is for you.
- Strengthen Your Sense of Belonging: Building relationships within a non-monogamous community can enhance your emotional well-being. These connections offer a space to share experiences, offer advice, and celebrate joy together, contributing to your growth and thriving.
- Creating Lifelong Friendships: This is a space where you can meet others who are just as passionate about living outside the traditional relationship model. From deep conversations to thrilling adventures, you’ll leave this event with friendships that will last beyond the night.
- Celebrate Your Authentic Self: The ENM community thrives on acceptance, and this event is a reminder that it’s okay to be who you are—no secrets, no shame, just open, authentic connections.
Open Love + Cocktails Timings
- Event Duration: The event will run for around four hours, providing plenty of time to mix with guests, relax, and make new connections before we dive into the fun games.
- After the Event: Once the event concludes at 8:30 PM, you’re welcome to stay at the venue to continue socialising or meet with new connections somewhere outside the venue. Otherwise, for those who want to keep the night going, some of the crew will head to a nearby swingers play venue ‘Between Friends Wine Bar’ . Here, you can choose to socialise, explore, or both in a laid-back, welcoming space. It’s the perfect chance to deepen connections made earlier and, perhaps, spark some exciting new ones. You can book ahead via HERE or you can opt to wait until the event to see if you meet someone to attend with. It is better to book in advance so you don’t miss out on a spot.
- Bottomless Packages: These 90-minute packages start at 7 PM, right after the games conclude, and run until the end of the event.
- Event Entry Close: Entry will close at 5:30 PM, just before the games kick off. This ensures everyone is there, ready to maximise the opportunity to connect with others.
- Games: From 5:30PM, we’ll have NSFW-themed icebreakers with some breaks in-between to keep the energy lively—think naughty trivia, “Never Have I Ever,” and a spicy spin-the-wheel game, all sponsored by Red Hot Pie, with cheeky prizes up for grabs! At approximately 6:45 PM, we’ll hand out a nut or a bolt to each attendee. Your goal is to find the person with the matching half and have at least a two-minute conversation with them. This icebreaker encourages mingling and sparks new connections!
