“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
Ever tried explaining your dating app algorithm theories to your married friends? Speed dating is the refreshingly analog answer to digital dating fatigue – think of it as “Tinder in real life” but with actual conversation and zero ghosting! If you’re 30-55 and navigating Brisbane’s dating scene (which can feel like trying to cross the Story Bridge during rush hour), this event at The Mix Bar (765 Stanley St, Woolloongabba QLD 4102) is your chance to meet genuine singles face-to-face. With the venue just a 5-minute walk from Woolloongabba busway station (routes 111 and 222) and Park Road train station nearby, getting there is easier than finding someone who actually looks like their profile pic! For outfit inspiration, keep it smart-casual – the ladies boutiques at South Bank Markets offer perfect first impression outfits, while guys can find great options at James Street’s menswear stores. Whether you’re coming from hipster West End where everyone’s too cool to admit they’re looking for love, or from Kangaroo Point where the views are stunning but the dating prospects sometimes aren’t, this central location brings together Brisbane’s most eligible singles from across the river divide.
How It Works
When you arrive, our friendly hosts will welcome you with name tags and register you on our Matching App 4.0 (no downloads required – we handle everything). Ladies will be seated at numbered tables while gentlemen rotate every five minutes when you hear the bell – like musical chairs but with potential soulmates! Between 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with conversation starter cards at each table to banish awkward silences faster than a Brisbane summer storm appears. We’ll have an intermission at 8pm where you can mingle freely, refresh your drink, and chat with anyone you didn’t get to meet during the rotations. After each mini-date, you’ll discreetly mark on your card who you’d like to connect with further – much more civilized than frantically swiping right at midnight! The next morning at 8am, our system will email you the contact details of anyone who also selected you – no rejection notifications, just positive matches. With 40 attendees (20 men, 20 women) carefully balanced for even numbers, you’re guaranteed more quality conversations in one night than six months on dating apps where “looking for something casual” usually means “emotionally unavailable.”
Who You’ll Meet
Our 30-55 age group events attract Brisbane’s most interesting professionals who’ve built lives they love but are missing that special someone to share Sunday mornings at Davies Park Market or Friday sunset drinks at Howard Smith Wharves. These are people with established careers who know what they want – no more wasting time on dates where someone claims to be “adventurous” but their idea of risk is ordering something new at their regular café. Brisbane singles in this age range often struggle with limited social circles as friends couple up and disappear into suburbia faster than parking spots vanish in the CBD. Our events break through these barriers by creating a space where being single isn’t awkward – it’s celebrated! For successful speed dating, remember to ask questions that reveal values rather than résumés, listen more than you speak, and bring your authentic self (leave the interview persona at work). For second date ideas, the nearby Queensland Art Gallery offers perfect conversation opportunities without the pressure of a full dinner commitment – nothing reveals compatibility like discovering whether you both find the same installation profound or pretentious.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social was founded by Darcy Todd in 2020 after one too many dating app disasters convinced him there had to be a better way to connect. Since then, we’ve hosted 787 events across Australia, introducing 37,423 singles to potential matches with our signature equal-ratio policy that ensures nobody’s time is wasted. Tickets for this premium experience are just $29.90 for early birds or $34.90 for last-minute romantics (no refunds, but we do offer transfers to future events if your plans change – much like your dating status hopefully will after attending!). Special requests or questions? Our dedicated matchmakers can be reached at matches@speeddatingsocial.com, where we respond faster than most dating app matches – usually within hours, not the “three days later when they remember you exist” timeline so common in online dating.
The Venue
The Mix Bar is Brisbane’s hidden gem – a sophisticated but unstuffy cocktail lounge housed in a renovated 1920s warehouse with exposed brick walls, velvet booths, and ambient lighting that flatters everyone (the dating world’s equivalent of an Instagram filter in real life). Owned by Brisbane hospitality veterans Mia and James Chen since 2018, this Woolloongabba hotspot balances intimate conversation spaces with enough ambient buzz to keep awkward silences at bay. Their signature “Meet Cute” cocktail – a passionfruit and ginger concoction with a splash of prosecco – makes the perfect ice-breaker order when you’re trying to appear both sophisticated and approachable. The venue’s semi-private mezzanine area where we host our events offers the perfect balance of intimacy and space, with city views that give first-time speed daters something to comment on when conversation momentarily lags. Just blocks away from the iconic Gabba cricket ground, you’ll have the perfect conversation starter about whether you attended the last Ashes series or if you’re more of a cultural enthusiast than sports fan – either way, a stroll through the nearby Woolloongabba Antique Quarter makes for an excellent second date where browsing vintage treasures reveals more about someone’s taste than any dating profile ever could.
