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
Ever wondered what happens when you take the endless swiping out of dating and replace it with actual face-to-face connections? Speed dating is like Tinder in real life, but without the misleading filters and outdated profile pics. If you’re between 30-47 and tired of navigating Brisbane’s notoriously tricky dating scene (where everyone either seems to be paired up or perpetually at Eat Street Markets with their mates), this event at Milky Lane Bar (76 Skyring Terrace, Newstead QLD 4006) is your chance to change the narrative. Getting there is a breeze – hop off at the Gasworks Plaza stop if you’re taking the 196 bus, or park at the nearby Gasworks complex if you’re driving. Dress to impress but keep it casual-chic – think what you’d wear to a nice dinner at Howard Smith Wharves. Ladies, Camargue in Fortitude Valley has some gorgeous date-night options, while guys can’t go wrong with something from Assembly Label at James Street. Whether you’re commuting from New Farm (where the riverside singles tend to be more laid-back) or Teneriffe (home to the career-focused professionals who know their wine), you’ll fit right in with our diverse crowd of Brisbane singles ready to take a chance on chemistry.
How It Works
Our speed dating format is designed to eliminate the awkwardness and maximize your chances of making genuine connections. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a name card and access to our exclusive Matching App 4.0, where the magic happens behind the scenes. Ladies will be seated at numbered tables while gentlemen rotate every five minutes when you hear the bell – just enough time to determine if there’s a spark worth pursuing. Between 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with conversation cards provided to banish those first-date jitters. At 8pm, we’ll have a brief intermission where you can grab another drink and chat more with anyone who caught your eye. The beauty of our system? No awkward rejections – simply indicate your interest on the app, and if there’s mutual chemistry, you’ll receive each other’s contact details at 8am the next morning. With 40 attendees (20 men and 20 women) carefully balanced for equal ratios, your chances of finding a match are infinitely better than another night of disappointing right swipes where the conversation fizzles after “Hey, how’s your week going?”
Who You’ll Meet
The 30-47 crowd at our Brisbane events tends to be a fascinating mix of established professionals, creative entrepreneurs, and those enjoying their second chapter after early marriages. These are people who know what they want – they’re past the games but not past the butterflies. Many are navigating careers at Brisbane’s growing tech companies in Fortitude Valley or the financial district, while others are thriving in the city’s booming health and education sectors. The unique challenge for this age group in Brisbane? Many quality singles are hidden in plain sight, busy building careers or recovering from past relationships, making it hard to connect organically in a city where social circles tend to solidify early. Our advice: come prepared with stories about your favorite hidden Brisbane spots (South Bank’s nighttime cityscape views never fail as conversation starters) and ask genuine questions that go beyond the surface. The most successful participants approach each five-minute date with authenticity rather than a rehearsed pitch. And for that potential second date? The Brisbane Powerhouse offers the perfect blend of culture and riverside charm – casual enough for comfort but interesting enough to keep the conversation flowing.
Your Host
Speed Dating Social was founded by Brisbane local Darcy Todd in 2020 after his own frustrating experiences with dating apps, and we’ve since hosted 787 events, introducing 37,423 singles across Australia. Our strict equal ratio booking policy ensures balance and maximizes your potential matches – one reason why our success rate runs circles around the apps. Tickets are affordable at $29.90 for early birds, with last-release tickets at $34.90 (non-refundable, but transferable with 48 hours’ notice). Any questions before taking the plunge? Our dedicated team is just an email away at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we typically respond faster than your last Bumble match.
The Venue
Milky Lane Bar isn’t just another Brisbane venue; it’s the ultimate conversation starter with its striking industrial-chic design that perfectly balances edgy with elegant. Located at 76 Skyring Terrace in Newstead’s vibrant Gasworks precinct, this relative newcomer (established 2019) has quickly become a hotspot for Brisbane’s discerning social crowd. Owned by hospitality veterans The James Group, the venue features Instagram-worthy neon signs, plush booth seating arranged specifically for our events to ensure privacy during your mini-dates, and a specially curated playlist that hits the sweet spot between energetic and intimate. When ordering drinks, you can’t go wrong with their signature “Meet Cute Martini” – a passionfruit-infused concoction that’s the perfect icebreaker (and conversation piece). Speed dating at Milky Lane feels different from our other venues – the riverside location adds a certain romantic energy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Brisbane River create a spectacular backdrop as twilight turns to evening during the event. For that second date suggestion, mention the nearby New Farm Park rotunda and riverside walk – it’s been the setting for countless second dates and even a few Speed Dating Social-inspired proposals over the years.
