Circle: Single People of Color play Northern Pacific at The Raven Grill
Belonging gets easier with a shared starting point.
Ligare Circles are smaller groups and simpler nights for guests with a shared thread—shared backgrounds, shared interests, shared vibes, with each table matched for personality.
This Circle will be:
👤 Who should join: People of Color who are currently single single again (all orientations / open to friendship or more)
🍽️ Where we'll eat: The Raven Grill
🃏 Opening game: No Thanks!
🎲 Featured game: Northern Pacific
Circles are self-guided with your table; we match you at a table with folks we think you'll vibe with, set you up with 2 games, a clear plan for how to play over dinner, and guided prompts to spark connection that your table opens along the way.
If that sounds like a night for you, pull up a chair. If it doesn’t, there’s a different Circle in the works with your name on it.
We curate Circles so guests start from common ground--which gives us more room to match tables around personality. We believe that a good gathering starts with a shared purpose. We trust guests to self-identify honestly; if you think this is maybe for you, lean on the side of 'yes' or reach out and ask us.
How the night flows (self-led, still subject to change)
Arrival, introductions, light a candle – Grab a drink, meet your table, break the ice.
Act One / Opening Game: No Thanks! – We start with an easy to learn game while folks settle in and order to break the ice.
Act Two / Featured Game: Northern Pacific – After orders are in, the main game comes out. Think deeper strategy, deeper discussion, deeper connection.
Drinks / Dessert - Our reservation ends at 8:30, but feel free to stay and grab another drink and connect with folks from other tables, or move together to a second spot
