Success Stories 💑
Many have already found love ❤️
“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations
You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”
“I would like to let you know that last month,
“I just wanted to let you know…
So thank you for all the effort in putting these events together… don’t worry about giving me a refund on the ticket, maybe you can give that to someone that rocks up on the night without a ticket as I know how hard They are to get. thanks so much again.”

Event Details
Are you ready to swipe right on real-life connections? Put down your phone and join us for an exhilarating evening of speed dating at Diesel Bar, nestled in the heart of Melbourne’s bustling CBD at 202 Little Lonsdale St. This isn’t your average singles’ night – it’s a chance for 31-47 year olds to escape the digital dating doldrums and meet potential partners face-to-face. Being single in Melbourne can feel like navigating a labyrinth of laneways, but our event is your shortcut to meaningful connections.
Hop on the 86 or 96 tram and alight at the Melbourne Central stop, or take a short stroll from Parliament Station. Not sure what to wear? Channel your inner hipster with a quick visit to Brunswick Street in Fitzroy for some vintage finds, or go sleek and chic with a boutique number from Chapel Street in South Yarra. Whether you’re a Northcote night owl or a St Kilda beach bum, this central location levels the playing field for love.
How It Works
Get ready for a whirlwind romance marathon as we guide you through our tried-and-true speed dating process. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name tag and access to our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0. Ladies, take your seats and prepare to be wooed, while gents, limber up those legs for some musical chairs action. You’ll have 12 five-minute dates between 7-9pm, with conversation cards to keep the banter flowing smoother than a flat white from your favorite laneway cafe.
At 8pm, we’ll call a cheeky intermission – perfect for a bathroom break or liquid courage top-up. No need to stress about awkward number exchanges; our app takes care of the matchmaking magic. If you’ve both clicked ‘yes’, you’ll wake up to new contact details at 8am, like a dating app but with real-life chemistry. With 20 men and 20 women in attendance, we’ve got the gender balance more perfectly aligned than a St Kilda Road tram track.
Who You’ll Meet
So, who are these fantastic 40 singles? Picture a melting pot of Melbourne’s finest – from corporate high-flyers unwinding after a day in the Docklands to creative types fresh from their Carlton co-working spaces. They’re at that sweet spot in life where they’ve got their shit together (mostly) but are ready to share their world with someone special. Maybe they’re tired of swiping through more profiles than there are cafes in Melbourne, or perhaps they’re looking for someone who appreciates a good smashed avo as much as they do.
Our best tip for success? Be yourself, but be your best self – the one who knows all the hidden bars in the city and can debate the merits of North vs South of the Yarra with passion. And if sparks fly, why not suggest a second date at the nearby State Library Victoria? Nothing says “I’m cultured and mysterious” like whispering sweet nothings in the La Trobe Reading Room.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social isn’t just another flash-in-the-pan dating scheme. Founded by love guru Darcy Todd in 2020 (talk about perfect timing), we’ve hosted a staggering 787 events and introduced 37,423 singles. That’s more matches than you’d find at a footy final! We’re serious about finding you love, which is why we maintain a strict equal ratio policy – no sausage fests here, folks.
Tickets start at a bargain $29.90 for early birds, with last-release tickets at $34.90. And while we can’t guarantee you’ll find ‘the one’, we can promise a night out that’s cheaper than your average Melbourne cocktail (and potentially much more intoxicating). Got questions? Slide into our DMs at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Now, let’s talk about our venue, the legendary Diesel Bar. This Little Lonsdale Street gem has been a fixture of Melbourne nightlife since the days when Federation Square was just a twinkle in an architect’s eye. With its exposed brick walls, moody lighting, and a bar longer than your list of ex’s, it’s the perfect backdrop for your romantic endeavors. The intimate booths and strategically placed high tables create an atmosphere that’s part speakeasy, part love laboratory. We recommend kicking off your night with their signature ‘Diesel Fuel’ cocktail – it’s got more kick than a kangaroo and might just give you the Dutch courage to drop your best pick-up line.
And as you’re rotating between potential matches faster than a Melbourne weather forecast changes, take a moment to appreciate the venue’s unique blend of industrial chic and cozy charm. Who knows, you might even bond with someone over your shared appreciation of the historic Coop’s Shot Tower visible from the bar’s window – a perfect segue into suggesting a Melbourne Central shopping date if things go well. So, what are you waiting for, Melbourne singles? It’s time to fuel up your love life at Diesel Bar – where speed dating is less about racing hearts and more about racing to find your perfect match in the world’s most liveable city.
