DesignMyNight
Crunchbase Website Twitter Facebook Linkedin
We were two best friends from university, on a trip to New York in 2009, blown away with the amazing nightlife knowledge of our hotel concierge. After a few (too many) ice-cold Margaritas a business idea was born.
We decided we’d had enough of the half-baked nightlife websites and the constant hassle of planning a night out in our favourite city in the world… What London needed was a site where you could discover and unlock the best, the new, the wallet-friendly and the secret nightlife on offer. But also a website to help plan and book online and let the site do all the hard work so you could simply enjoy a cracking night out! That was our mission.
So…a few more frozen margaritas later (what can we say!), the corporate jobs were binned and a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week cycle of work, work, drink (research!), pizza and a little bit of sleep was the name of game until finally DesignMyNight.com was born. We are now delighted to share our website with you and we have a passionate, hard-working team of Nightlife Designers all dedicated to sharing their knowledge and experience with you, to design your night out to perfection..
