The pandemic has been tough for singletons.

But if you’re vaccinated, boosted and ready to get out there and mingle again, one Cork pub has just the event.

The Franciscan Well is hosting a socially distant dating night for Valentines, allowing love-seekers to eye up the talent safely, then send a secret message or buy the object of their affections a drink to say hello.

“Just book a table with us on Sunday the 13th of February and let us know your age and gender.” a spokesperson for the bar explained.

“Everyone will remain seated at their table, on arrival you will receive a map of the bar table numbers, your server for the night will be your messenger; see someone you like? Buy them a drink or pass them your number, let us do the work!”

The romance!

Fun games and giveaways will also run throughout the night so there’ll be plenty of activity to help you break the ice.

Intrigued? Book your table for February 13th here and let fate take care of the rest.
