Let’s be honest: making new friends isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Especially in a big city jungle with countless strangers around you, it’s easy to feel small and anonymous in the crowd without knowing where to start. The First Round in Berlin offers you the ideal solution to this problem. At an exclusive dinner, you will be brought together with like-minded people who are similar to you. Look forward to playful icebreakers, exciting conversations and who knows – you might even meet your new best friends!
What is The First Round?
At its core, it is a unique social dining experience that brings guests together using a clever matching algorithm – with the aim of initiating real conversations. Everyone answers a short questionnaire in advance so that the system can put together groups based on shared interests and personalities. Supplemented by small icebreakers and games, this transforms a regular dinner into an uncomplicated opportunity to get to know new people – in the lively atmosphere of a trendy spot.
Who can take part?
All adults aged 18 and over who are curious and open to new contacts are invited. You will meet a colorful mix of different people with diverse backgrounds – united by a shared desire to exchange ideas in a relaxed, informal setting. Whether you are more introverted and hoping for deeper conversations or simply want to make a few new acquaintances: The First Round offers you the perfect space to strike up an uncomplicated and authentic conversation.
What else you should know
The ticket only covers admission – you pay for your own food and drinks. The exact location remains a secret until 24 hours before the start, which adds an exciting touch. To make you feel comfortable right from the start, each table is given its own password, which matches guests according to language and interests. This creates genuine connections while keeping the atmosphere lively and relaxed.
Meeting new people doesn’t have to be forced or awkward. The First Round ‘s sophisticated matching system puts you at a table with exactly the right people for you – and a simple dinner could become the start of new friendships.

The event takes place on selected dates from September and starts at 8 pm. Anyone who is interested in making new acquaintances and real connections away from the digital social media world is welcome to register – but don’t wait too long, as places are limited!
