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
Ready to swipe right on real-life connections? Forget the endless scrolling and catfish conundrums of Tinder and Bumble – it’s time to dive into the world of speed dating, Brisbane style! If you’re a single Brisbanite aged 29-47, buckle up for a night of rapid-fire romance at Bar Gusto, the swanky hotspot at 601 Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills. Being single in the River City can feel like navigating the winding Brisbane River itself – full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, fellow romance-seekers!
Our speed dating social is here to help you find your perfect match faster than you can say “Brisvegas.” Nestled in the heart of Bowen Hills, Bar Gusto is easily accessible by public transport – just hop on the 196 bus and get off at the RNA Showgrounds stop. You’ll be rubbing shoulders with singles from neighboring New Farm and Fortitude Valley, so dress to impress! For a killer outfit that screams “dateable,” swing by James Street in Fortitude Valley – your potential soulmate will thank you.
How It Works
As you step into Bar Gusto, you’ll be greeted with a name card and a QR code that unlocks the magic of our Matching App 4.0. This little beauty lets you see all the attendees on your phone, so you can start scoping out potential matches before the official mingling begins. Once the bell rings, ladies take their seats while the gents rotate every five minutes, giving you 12 bite-sized dates throughout the evening. It’s like speed-running through a season of “The Bachelor,” but with less drama and more genuine connections.
You’ll decide who to “Match” or “Friend” directly from your phone, with contact details for mutual matches hitting your inbox at 8am the next day. Pro tip: come armed with your best conversation starters, or grab one of our handy ice-breaker cards if you find yourself tongue-tied. With 20 guys and 20 gals in attendance, the odds are ever in your favor – unlike the unpredictable world of dating apps where the ratio can be more skewed than a Queenslander house on a hill.
Who You’ll Meet
So, who are these fabulous singles you’ll be meeting? Picture a room full of young professionals and established career-climbers, all navigating the tricky terrain of adulting while searching for their perfect plus-one. These are folks who’ve swiped their thumbs sore on dating apps and are ready for something more tangible. They’re the ones you see brunching at Café63, hiking up Mount Coot-tha, or cheering on the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. Many are juggling demanding careers with the desire for a meaningful relationship, facing challenges like limited time for dating or difficulty meeting like-minded individuals outside their social circles.
But here’s the kicker – they’re all taking a chance on love, just like you! To make the most of your speed dating experience, remember to be yourself, ask open-ended questions, and listen as much as you talk. And if sparks fly, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Roma Street Parkland? Nothing says romance like a leisurely stroll through the lush gardens, followed by a cheeky picnic overlooking the city skyline.
Your Host
Founded by the matchmaking maestro Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has been playing Cupid for Brisbanites with over 787 events under their belt. They’ve introduced more than 37,423 singles, always ensuring an equal ratio of men to women – because nobody likes being the odd one out at a party.
Tickets start at a wallet-friendly $29.90 for early birds, with last-release tickets at $34.90. That’s less than the cost of a fancy cocktail for a chance at love – talk about a bargain! Just remember, like a bad Tinder date, there are no refunds. If you’ve got questions or just want to chat, drop a line to matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – Bar Gusto itself. This architectural gem, originally built in the 1920s as a wool store, has been lovingly transformed into a chic urban oasis by local hospitality guru Sarah Thompson. The exposed brick walls and soaring ceilings create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and impressive – perfect for making those crucial first impressions. The venue’s unique “conversation nooks” scattered throughout the space offer cozy spots for more private chats during the mingling sessions.
And let’s not forget the piece de resistance – the central bar, crafted from reclaimed Queenslander timber, where you can grab liquid courage in the form of Bar Gusto’s signature “Love Potion #9” cocktail. The venue’s blend of historical charm and modern flair mirrors the speed dating experience itself – a timeless concept with a contemporary twist. So, as you navigate through your mini-dates, remember to take in the ambiance – it might just be the backdrop to the beginning of your own love story. And here’s a final tip: arrive a few minutes early to soak in the atmosphere and calm those pre-date jitters. After all, in the words of a true Brisbanite, “She’ll be right, mate!” – especially when it comes to finding love at Bar Gusto.
