If you know what\u2019s good for you this holiday, you won\u2019t be setting foot anywhere near Katz\u2019s or Serendipity.

\n<\/strong><\/a>Tuesday, February 10, 7:30pm
\nPark Slope Ale House, 356 6th Avenue, Park Slope
\n$7
\n21+<\/p>\n

Strangely, pets of any kind are unlikely to be allowed at this mixer for pet-lovers since it\u2019ll be inside of a service establishment. Which means the only way you can convey your pet-loving nature is by, like, TALKING to other people about it. Ewww! But I guess there\u2019s no shortage of ways to flirt about chinchillas. An easy, early evening to share in the wonders of modern domestication over a few beers. Raffle, too! The mixer\u2019s organizers are no strangers to\u00a0the gender disparity of singles\u2019 nights<\/a>: looks like ladies can bring up to 2 single males for free. Yeesh.<\/p>\n

\n21+<\/p>\n

The only self-proclaimed \u201canti-Valentine\u2019s day\u201d party on this list slides in just before the clock strikes midnight, in order to remind you that love may stink, but you should still probably fuck somebody! Makes sense, since the party is sponsored in part by Glimpse, the new dating app where you judge people by their Instagram accounts. The night promises to be just as reprehensible as the app itself, with a two-part affair that starts you off on tearful breakup music and then grinds down into the heavy hookup beats. Prepare to sweat on somebody\u2014and then apologize by taking them home.<\/p>\n
