Date night, planned.
Say where you're starting, when, and what you like. iKveld plans the whole evening: somewhere to eat, something to do after, what it'll cost, the weather, and when to leave. Then send it to your partner to pick, or to your friends to vote on.
Date nights, dinner with friends, pub crawls and weekends away, starting in Omagh, Enniskillen, Derry and Strabane.
Friday · table at 19:00
Nova, Italian

- Dry and mild that evening
- If it rains: the wine bar next door

An illustration, not a real place
“Where do you fancy?” “I don't mind, you pick.” iKveld picks, and tells you why.
A whole evening, not just a restaurant
Most of the work of a night out is the planning. iKveld does it, and shows its reasons.
1 · Tell it
Where, when, what you like
Your starting point, the date, a budget per person and how far you'll go. Add what you like (Italian, comedy, a walk, a film), or nothing at all.
2 · Get two or three plans
Each one complete
Somewhere to eat and something to do after, with the cost, the weather, a backup if it rains, and when to leave. Every place and event is real, with a link to its source.
3 · Agree and go
Send it, pick one, book it
Send the plans to your partner or your group. Pick together, add it to your calendar, and book with the restaurant.
The hard part of a night out was never the dinner. It was deciding where.
For the two of you, and for nights out with friends
Couples
Link up with your partner and plan for both of you.
- Plans use what you both like, and skip places either of you didn't.
- Take turns to pick; say why when you'd rather go somewhere else.
- Mark the evenings you're free and see when you both are.
Friends
Start a group, share the link, and let everyone vote.
- Plans for the whole group, with the cost for everyone.
- Dinner, drinks, or a pub crawl: three or four bars a short walk apart, with a time for each stop.
- Most of you saying yes makes it on.
- Everyone sees how many are free and how many voted, never who.
Going away?
Plan a weekend: the hotel, then dinner, drinks or a pub crawl for each night, never the same place twice. In Belfast, Dublin, Galway or further afield. Send it to your partner or the group to agree.
You bring the company. iKveld brings the plan.
What iKveld leaves out
-
Made-up places
Every restaurant, bar and event comes from a real source, with a link, and every plan shows why it was picked.
-
Ads and tracking
No adverts and no tracking. If a place ever pays to be shown, it's labelled, and paying never moves it up.
-
A record of your nights out
Your starting point is never stored, and what you share with a partner or a group is deleted once the evening has passed.
Just the night out, and the reasons for it.
For restaurants, venues and partners
Every iKveld plan sends people to a specific place on a specific evening. We'd like that to end in a booking: a table, tickets for after, or somewhere to stay on a weekend away. Booking and partner links are always labelled.
If you run a restaurant, a venue or a booking service in the UK or Ireland and would like to work with us, write to hello@ikveld.com.
You know your regulars. iKveld helps the next ones find you.
