Cherry, On Top 🍒 the anti-networking launch party

This event is over, it happened on

October 2, 2026 at Novela in SF, CA

662 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94105
A launch party with one rule: don’t ask anyone what they do for work. San Francisco has enough networking events. This is not one of them. On Friday, October 2, Cherry is taking over Novela for our official launch: 300 people, female DJs, dancing, drinks, and absolutely no networking. The only rule: don’t ask anyone what they do for work. You can ask about sex, money, dating, periods, divorce, kids, bad decisions, whether you should text them back, or the meaning of life. Just no small talk. Come with your friends. Come on a date. Come alone. Just come ready to actually talk to someone you don’t know. Expect female DJs, dancing, cocktails, anonymous confessions, questions you’d normally only ask the group chat, unexpected conversation starters, and a few things we’re not telling you about yet. Cherry has always been about the things we’re actually thinking about but somehow still whispering about. This is a party about saying them out loud. But mostly, we want you to leave thinking: that was a really f*cking fun night. MUSIC 🎶 Local female DJs, to be announced. WHAT TO WEAR 🍒 Dress code: disco decadence. Think sequins, satin, sheer, metallics, feathers, fur, cherry red, excellent tailoring and sunglasses after dark. If you'd wear it to dinner, go one step further. Simply put? Wear the thing you never have anywhere to wear. Still staring at your closet? Cherie made you the full Cherry, On Top moodboard 🪩 DRINKS 🍸 Drinks are not included in the purchase of your ticket. Drinks (including special Cherry cocktails!) available at the bar for purchase 🫶🏼 TICKETS Founding 100: $15 Early Bird: $20 General Admission: $25 Day of: $30 Prices increase as each release sells out. Tickets include entry to our private buyout of Novela, DJs, dancing, and everything happening inside the Cherry universe that night. Drinks available for purchase. COMING ALONE? Please do. A lot of the Cherry community started with people showing up to events by themselves. We’ll make finding your people significantly less awkward than standing by the bar pretending to text someone. ABOUT CHERRY Cherry is a new women’s health brand working across period care and sexual wellness, making the things we usually whisper about easier to talk about. We’re building products, experiences, and a community around the messy, funny, intimate realities of being a person in a body. Our first product is coming soon. This party is just the beginning. This event will be photographed and filmed. Let us know when you RSVP if you prefer not to be featured. See you on top. 🍒

Novela is a literary-themed cocktail bar in San Francisco’s SoMa / Yerba Buena area, a short walk from the downtown offices and transit. The space is built around tall, color-organized bookshelves and a long central bar, with a mix of bar stools, low couches, and small tables. Lighting is on the dim side and leans more toward lounge than restaurant, and most people are there for drinks rather than a full sit-down meal, though there are bar snacks and small plates on the menu. more...
