“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
Speed dating is like the perfect middle ground between endless app swiping and leaving your love life to chance—it’s structured serendipity for singles aged 30-47 looking to make genuine connections in Sydney’s bustling dating scene. Being single in the Harbour City can feel paradoxical; surrounded by millions yet somehow isolated in your quest for meaningful romance. Our event at the charming Crows Nest Hotel (1 Willoughby Rd, Crows Nest NSW 2065) offers a refreshing alternative, conveniently located just minutes from St. Leonards Station on the T1 North Shore Line or a quick ride on the 143 bus. For this sophisticated evening, smart casual attire strikes the perfect balance—gents might find something suitable at Platinum Menswear on Willoughby Road, while ladies could browse the boutiques at Westfield Chatswood just up the road. Whether you’re coming from neighboring Neutral Bay with its waterfront energy or laid-back Artarmon with its village feel, you’ll find yourself among like-minded locals ready to leave the dating apps behind for a night of real-world chemistry.
How It Works
When you arrive at our event, you’ll be warmly welcomed, provided with a name tag, and introduced to our Matching App 4.0 system that makes digital connections after real-world interactions. Ladies will be seated at numbered tables while gentlemen rotate every five minutes when our bell chimes—giving you 12 five-minute dates between 7-9pm with a strategic intermission at 8pm to catch your breath and perhaps chat more with someone who caught your eye. No need to awkwardly ask for numbers; our system handles that delicately by sharing contact details at 8am the following morning, but only when there’s mutual interest. Conversation starter cards at each table help banish those first-date jitters, ensuring the dialogue flows more naturally than those stilted Hinge exchanges. With exactly 20 men and 20 women attending, we’ve eliminated the gender imbalance that plagues other singles events, giving everyone equal opportunities to find that spark among the 40 attendees carefully curated for this age group.
Who You’ll Meet
Our 30-47 crowd represents Sydney’s most interesting singles—established professionals who’ve navigated their career paths but are still searching for that special someone to share life’s adventures. Many are homeowners in Sydney’s competitive market, financially stable but time-poor, making traditional dating challenging in a city where everyone seems perpetually busy. The Harbour City’s work-hard-play-hard mentality often leaves little energy for meaningful connection, which is why our structured format proves so effective. The key to success lies in authenticity; come prepared with genuine questions that go beyond the surface and remember that listening is as important as speaking. For those connections that warrant a second meeting, nearby Crows Nest offers the perfect follow-up date venue in Annata, the intimate wine bar just down Willoughby Road where you can continue conversations over a shared charcuterie board and Australian wines.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social was founded by matchmaking enthusiast Darcy Todd in 2020, and we’ve proudly hosted 787 events, introducing 37,423 singles across Australia with countless success stories. Our equal ratio booking policy ensures balanced events—once one gender sells out, we close registrations unless more spots become available. Tickets for this premium experience are priced at $29.90 for early birds, with last-release tickets at $34.90 (no refunds, but transfers possible with 72 hours’ notice). For any questions about our events or the matching process, our team is readily available at matches@speeddatingsocial.com, typically responding within hours to help guide you through your speed dating journey.
The Venue
The Crows Nest Hotel itself provides the perfect backdrop for romantic beginnings—a lovingly renovated heritage pub dating back to 1926, now under management of the respected Iris Capital group who’ve maintained its classic charm while adding contemporary touches. The dedicated function space upstairs features warm lighting, comfortable seating, and acoustic treatments that allow for intimate conversations even in a room full of fellow daters. Their signature Negroni with Four Pillars Sydney Dry Gin comes highly recommended as a confidence-boosting aperitif before your dating adventure begins. What makes speed dating particularly magical at this venue is the combination of historic character and modern elegance—many participants comment on how the space somehow manages to feel both energetic and intimate simultaneously. After your event, you might mention nearby Lavender Bay’s sunset views to someone special—a short drive away, it offers one of Sydney’s most romantic vantage points for watching the sun set behind the Harbour Bridge, potentially the perfect setting for that anticipated second date where you can explore your connection further.
