SIDEQ: Nightlife & Meet people

Know which spot's going off before you go, then match with someone who's actually there.

SideQ is where nightlife meets real connection. SideQ helps you meet real people, in real life, at the places you're already going out to tonight.

HOW IT WORKS

• Open the map and find SideQ venues near you — bars, clubs, and event spaces where people are out and about.
• Head to a SideQ hotspot and tap "Meet Someone New" to get matched in real time with someone nearby who wants to connect right now.
• Follow the in-app arrow to find each other in the crowd, then confirm with a quick emoji check when you're face to face.
• At any venue, open its chat to talk with people who are there with you.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Every venue on the map shows an activity level, so you can decide where to head:

• Be the first here — nobody's arrived yet. Make it your spot.
• Warming up — a few people are starting to gather.
• Lively — things are picking up.
• Packed — peak crowd, the place to be.
