Love IRL: Unplug and Connect at Ruby Emma

On June 11th, Ruby Emma Hotel & Bar Amsterdam buzzed with excitement as we hosted the unforgettable Love IRL dating night. Hosted by the charming Noah Millman, this evening was all about ditching the digital and embracing good old-fashioned face-to-face fun.


In our world of endless swipes and likes, Love IRL was a breath of fresh air. It was the perfect chance for everyone to put away their screens and rediscover the magic of genuine, heart-to-heart connections. And wow, did it deliver.


The moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. We kicked off the night with some fantastic icebreaker games that quickly had everyone laughing and mingling. The highlight of the evening was an amazing drag performance that got everyone cheering and dancing along.

A big shoutout to all the wonderful love-seekers who showed up ready to mingle and make sparks fly. Whether they were hunting for a soulmate or just looking to meet some cool new people, Love IRL was the place to be. The vibe was friendly, flirty, and downright fabulous, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.


But the fun didn't stop when the clock struck nine. Some of our guests decided to stay the night at Ruby Emma Hotel & Bar, turning an awesome evening into an overnight adventure in the heart of the city.


Thank you to everyone who made Love IRL such a great success. It was a night filled with laughter, connection, and memories that will keep us smiling for a long time. We can't wait to do it all again and keep bringing people together for more amazing nights like this one.
