Simply ask for a red straw (entirely optional), drink and let some gorgeous Lovestrucker spot your straw and chat you up. (Or chat up someone with a straw, if you’re feeling proactive.)
Hidden on a backstreet near St Paul’s Cathedral, Patch Bar is a stylish cocktail bar, spread over two floors with loads of drink offers on the night.
Tell all your single friends/colleagues and bring them with you. They don’t have to be a Lovestrucker. They don’t even have to be single. Hell, they don’t even have to be your friend. That’s the beauty of this night, baby. It’s all about fun.
