UnlimitedTHE INFINITE EXPERIENCE

Not a room to wander through.
A night to get lost in.

Music, low light, a bar that stays open and counters cooking until late. Several domes, seven chairs, one very large floor, and not a single instruction about where you should be standing.

02COMING ALONESEVEN STAGES, ONE NIGHT

COME ALONE!!!SERIOUSLY!!!

Most of the room does, which is exactly why nobody finds it strange. Here is how the first few minutes go, from the car park to the moment you stop thinking about it.

  1. 01

    YOU PULL IN

    Number plate noted, car checked in. Nothing else to sort.

  2. 02

    YOU WALK IN

    Pass out, ID out, done. Nobody makes an announcement about you.

  3. 03

    A HOST FINDS YOU

    Someone whose whole job is making sure you are not standing on your own at 7:40.

  4. 04

    YOU GET A DRINK

    Something in your hand within a minute. It helps more than it should.

  5. 05

    YOU PICK A SPOT

    Counters are the easiest place to start. Food gives everybody something to say.

  6. 06

    IT STARTS ITSELF

    Somebody asks what you are eating. That is a conversation. You are in.

  7. 07

    YOU ARE FREE TO WANDER

    Stay an hour, stay until three, or leave at ten without explaining. Your night.

01

STAGE 01 OF 07

YOU PULL IN

Number plate noted, car checked in. Nothing else to sort.

YOU ARE FREETO WANDER.

Nobody is seated, nobody is sent anywhere and nobody has a route. Walk up to whoever you want to meet, stay as long as it is good, and move on whenever you feel like it. Or don’t.

04WHERE AND WHENSEVEN CITIES, SEVEN DATES

SEVEN CITIES.ONE NIGHT EACH.

The night travels, and it changes with every city: its own date, its own chapter, its own kitchens, and its own moment when everybody suddenly relaxes.

Our first Seven Chairs night begins in Jaipur on 18 November. The season closes in Pune on 30 December.

05WHAT A PASS INCLUDESONE TICKET, THE WHOLE NIGHT

ONE PASS.EIGHT HOURS.

You are not buying a seat at a table. You are buying the whole floor for the night: the food, the bar, the music, the people, and everything that happens in between.

SANGRIA + SNACKS

Poured the moment you walk in, with plates going round all evening.

LIVE MUSIC
CONCERT

A full live set on a real stage, somewhere in the middle of the night.

LUCKY DRAW, EVERY PASS

Every pass is an entry into the draw for trips for two to Paris and Port Blair.

DJ UNTIL
THREE

The dance floor opens around eleven and stays open until the lights come up.

PARTY
ALL NIGHT

Eight hours, and how you spend them is entirely up to you.

06MULTIPLE DOMESONE NIGHT, SEVERAL ATMOSPHERES

MULTIPLE DOMES.GLOBAL CUISINES. Live food counters.

One venue, several atmospheres. A loud dome and a quiet one, a kitchen from somewhere else entirely, and counters cooking in front of you all night. Walk between them as often as you like. That is what they are for.

01

THE LOUD ONE

The DJ, the lights and the floor that fills up around eleven and never quite empties.

02

THE SHARED TABLE

Global counters cooking in front of you, and somewhere to sit while you eat.

03

THE SLOW ONE

Low light, low volume, and the conversations that need to hear themselves.

07WHAT IS ON THE TABLELIVE COUNTERS, NOT A BUFFET TRAY

FIVE KITCHENS.ONE LONG NIGHT.

Somebody is cooking in front of you all night, and the queue at a counter is where a lot of the night’s conversations start. Nobody has ever needed an opening line while holding a plate.

DUMPLINGS + DIM SUM

Folded in front of you. Chopsticks are a social skill, and everybody fumbles at first.

FRESH PASTA

Carbs, chemistry, and a plate slow enough that you have to talk to whoever is waiting.

TACOS + SALSA

Salsas ranked by how much you are willing to suffer. Napkins provided, dignity not guaranteed.

KOREAN SHARED PLATES

Arrives sizzling with the sides in the middle, made for sharing across the table with someone new.

JAPANESE SMALL PLATES

One plate at a time, at a counter you sit at. Where the quiet conversations happen.

Vegetarian options run at every counter all night. Tell us about any allergy when you book, and the kitchens will have it before the doors open. There is a full bar, Sangria with every pass, and an à la carte menu until close.

WHICH KITCHEN, WHICH CITY

THE UNANNOUNCED BIT

SECRET SUPERSTAR

Your favourite trending star could be walking in.
You won’t know until the night does.

LIVEUNANNOUNCEDUNGOOGLEABLE

Nothing is announced before the night: no names, no teasers, no promises. Just a set the whole room hears for the first time, together.

?
08HOW THE NIGHT SOUNDSSEVEN TILL THREE

ONE ROOM.FIVE DIFFERENTNIGHTS.

The room does not stay the same shape for eight hours. It gets louder, then it gets honest, then it stops checking the time. Some people dance, some keep talking through it, and nobody is ever made to choose.

7 PM

DOORS

Early people get the good spots and a host with nothing else to do yet.

9 PM

THE ROOM FILLS

Nobody is introducing themselves any more. The volume goes up on its own.

11 PM

THE FLOOR OPENS

The DJ takes it. Half the room dances, half keeps talking through it. Both correct.

1 AM

NOBODY IS CHECKING

The hour when conversations stop being small talk. This is the good part.

3 AM

LIGHTS

Somebody suggests breakfast. Somebody always does.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, a live set by a name nobody announced.

DJ UNTIL 3 AMONE LIVE SETDANCE FLOORBAR OPEN ALL NIGHT
10THE SEVEN PROMISESSEVEN CHAIRS · SEVEN PROMISES

SEVEN THINGSWE WILL NOTGET WRONG.

The name is not a seating plan. It is a list of seven things this night owes you, and the first two are the reason the whole thing exists.

01

NO COUNTDOWNS

Nobody rings a bell. Talk for five minutes or five hours; that is entirely between the two of you.

02

NO ASSIGNED SEATS

Seven chairs, and every one of them is a choice. Walk up to whoever you actually want to meet.

03

THE FIRST DRINK IS ALREADY YOURS

Sangria on arrival, snacks all evening and live counters running until late.

04

MUSIC THAT EARNS THE NIGHT

A DJ until three, and one live set by a name nobody is told in advance.

05

NOBODY IS POSTED WITHOUT CONSENT

No photograph of you leaves this floor unless you said yes out loud. That is the whole rule.

06

A DOOR THAT IS ACTUALLY WATCHED

Licensed security, name-checked entry and hosts on the floor from the first guest to the last.

07

A CHANCE TO FLY OUT OF IT

Find someone worth remembering, drop both names in the box by the bar, and you could be flying to Paris or Port Blair.

11SAFETY & SECURITYNON-NEGOTIABLE

YOUR COMFORTBEATS THE VIBE.

Come to talk. Come to dance. Come to leave at ten without explaining yourself to anybody. It is still your night, and nothing on this floor gets to decide that for you.

Every rule below exists because somebody, somewhere, had a bad night out. We would rather be boring about this than sorry about it.

THE FULL HOUSE RULES
01

LICENSED SECURITY

Trained, licensed door and floor security all night. Uniformed outside, discreet inside.

02

CONTROLLED ENTRY

Name-checked against the pass list, photo ID every time. No plus-ones at the door.

03

HOSTS ON THE FLOOR

Hosts work the room all night. They are easy to spot, and there the moment you raise a hand.

04

WALKING AWAY IS FINE

Any guest can end any conversation at any moment. No reason needed, given or recorded.

05

CONSENT-FIRST FLOOR

Nobody is touched, followed or photographed without a yes. Anyone who ignores that is asked to leave.

06

PRIVACY IS A HIGH PRIORITY

Guest details are never public. Other guests see only the essentials, and nothing else leaves our list.

07

RIDE ASSIST

A verified cab or a valet drop from the desk, with the number plate noted. A host will walk you out if you like.

08

18+, CHECKED

Eighteen and over, photo ID at the door, every time. Nobody is inside who should not be.

09

SKIP ANY QUESTION

You can skip any question you would rather not answer.

Privacy is a high priority.

Nothing about a guest goes on this website. Ever.

12WHO IS IN THE ROOMREAL PEOPLE, INTRODUCED PROPERLY

REAL PEOPLE.NOT PROFILES.

A week before the night, you receive a PDF introducing the people you are going to meet: their occupation, their age and a short paragraph about each of them. The night before, you get to see who else is coming.

  1. A WEEK BEFOREThe introductions PDFOccupation, age and a short paragraph about each person you are going to meet.
  2. ONE NIGHT BEFOREWho else is comingThe rest of the room, so the night starts with a few names you already know.
  3. ON THE NIGHTThe real thingEverything else, you find out the old-fashioned way.
SEVEN CHAIRS · INTRODUCTIONSJAIPUR · 18 NOV

The people you are
going to meet.

ARCHITECT27

Will judge your café choice, lovingly. Spends weekends sketching buildings nobody else notices, and has strong opinions about where the light should fall in a room.

CERAMICIST26

Cannot sit still while talking. Runs a small studio, teaches on Sundays, and will probably leave the night having promised somebody a mug.

CHEF31

Has opinions about the counters and no plan to keep them quiet. Happiest feeding a table of strangers and finding out what they would cook for him.

13WHAT OTHER GUESTS SEEAND WHAT THEY DO NOT

YOUR PROFILE ISNOT A PUBLICPROFILE.

You answer a few questions, and we turn them into a short introduction in the PDF that goes to guests of your night, a week before. Nothing about you ever goes on this website.

Privacy is a high priority.

  • ✓Your age
  • ✓A short paragraph about you — written from your own answers
  • ✓The interests you picked

NOBODY SEES

Not in the PDF, not on the site, not at the door.

  • ×Your photograph — door hosts only, so they can check you in. Never in the PDF.
  • ×Your deal breakers — said once, kept private, honoured on the night
  • ×Your surname

  • ×Your payment details
You can skip any question you would rather not answer.

A little chit-chat, a pen on the box, and introductions you’ll actually remember.

14THE LUCKY DRAWONE NIGHT OUT, ONE FLIGHT OUT

MEET SOMEBODY.WIN A FLIGHT.

Find a connection worth remembering. Write both names on a chit, drop it in the box by the bar, and a Wednesday night could turn into a departure gate.

HOW TO ENTER

01

FIND YOUR CONNECTION

Somebody you would actually text tomorrow. That is the only qualification there is.

02

WRITE BOTH NAMES

A chit and a pen sit on the box. It takes ten seconds, and there is no form anywhere.

03

DROP IT IN THE BOX

The box stands by the bar, in the open, all night. Drawn before the last hour.

A chance, not a promise. One chit per connection, drawn in front of the room, because a draw nobody watches isn’t a draw. Full terms, eligibility and trip details are sent with your pass and posted at the door, and nothing about the trips is final until it is confirmed in writing.

BUILD YOURINTRODUCTION.

A few questions, one at a time, and none of them feels like a form. What comes out is a short paragraph about how you are in a room: not a rating, not a type, not a result. It becomes your introduction in the PDF for your night, and nothing else about you ever leaves this site.

None of it is about how you look.

Come single. Come with four friends and lose them by nine. Come having never done anything like this, with no intention of pretending otherwise. If you are here to meet people, and you are decent to the people you meet, you are our guest.

Passes are sold as women’s and men’s passes because we hold the room balance at the door. If neither of those describes you, write to us and we will sort your pass out by hand. A real person answers, not a form.

PAYMENT

Pick a pass. Pay in a minute.

  1. 01Choose your city and pass
  2. 02Add your details
  3. 03Pay the ₹500 profiling fee securely. The remaining pass amount is collected later

SECURE ONLINE PAYMENT

Only the profiling fee of ₹500 is payable now. The remaining event/pass payment will be collected later. Pay through Razorpay with UPI, card or netbanking. Inclusive of all taxes.

WHY ARE THE PASSES PRICED DIFFERENTLY?

Because a balanced room is the entire product. We sell passes in matched numbers so the floor never tilts one way, and pricing is how we hold that line as the lists fill up at different speeds.

It is not a judgement about anybody in the room. It is arithmetic about a room.

Every pass is priced per person. The ₹500 profiling fee is charged once per person and shown next to every price. It is the only amount payable now, and it pays for the questions, the balancing of the guest list and the PDF that introduces the people you are going to meet. The remaining event/pass payment will be collected later. All prices are inclusive of all taxes.

Not included: the à la carte menu (ordered on the night and charged to your table), the valet drop home (bookable at the desk) and getting yourself to the city. Full refund up to 72 hours before doors; after that, one free transfer to any future night in any city.

18THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ROOMWHY THIS EXISTS

WE BUILT THENIGHT WE WANTEDTO GO TO.

Every one of us had the same two evenings on repeat. The one where you go out, talk to nobody and come home having scrolled. And the one where you finally meet somebody interesting and a timer goes off.

So we built the third evening. Good food, good music, a door that is actually watched, and nothing in the room with a timer on it.

01

APPS SOLVED DISCOVERY AND BROKE EVERYTHING ELSE

You can find a thousand people and still have nowhere to actually meet one of them.

02

YOU CANNOT READ A PERSON OFF A GRID

Whether you like somebody gets decided in the first minute of talking, not the first second of looking.

03

A TIMER RUINS A CONVERSATION

Anything that tells you a good conversation is over has misunderstood the assignment.

04

THE DOOR IS THE PRODUCT

Who is in the room, and who is watching it, matters more than anything on the menu.

Names and faces go up before our first night in Jaipur. Until then, WhatsApp is the front door, answered by the same people who will be standing at the real one.
