EX MARKS THE SPOT
A GOLD Coast bar is holding a swanky party for Valentine’s Day, but you’re only invited if you bring along your ex for others to meet for a night of “romantic recycling”. Security is on that night.
A GOLD Coast bar is taking a Valentine’s Day party to the ex-treme with a wild singles mixer that could break more than the ice.
Surfers Paradise’s Stingray Lounge, at QT Gold Coast, is hosting a “BYO-Ex Party” on February 14 where singles bring along former flames for others to meet for a night of “romantic recycling”.
QT food and beverage director Jared Thibault said the concept came through from QT head office as a quirky twist on the traditional hook-up event.
“It’s something we’re doing at every QT – we like to do things a little different,” Mr Thibault said. “A lot of people do singles party, we’ll do something with a twist.
“Just think of it more like a laidback singles party you can bring your ex to. It’s not going to be for everyone who has an ex. Plenty of people are still friendly with their exes, I feel like those are the people that are going to come.”
But Mr Thibault has prepared for some instances where trauma is yet to heal.
“We will have security on that night,” he said.
The party begins at 6pm and entry is free.
