Success Stories πŸ’‘

Many have already found love ❀️

β€œWhen I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations

– less than zero actually.
But yup, when I walked into that bar, I saw him and went all nervous.
I wouldn’t say our first conversation was scintillating. I don’t even remember what small talk we made – maybe our jobs.
At the end of the event, I saw him sitting alone and asked whether I could sit next to him. He said he wanted to see me again and I said the same.
We are now happily and exclusively together. If I have any advice to give anyone, it would be to give speed dating a try. I was lucky to have found my person the first time around. But I had been online dating for a year with no success.

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 attended one of your speed dating nights in Hardware Lane and met the most beautiful girl. We connected and you sent our numbers to us.
We met up again the next day and have been on many dates and have spoken every day, for hours It’s been 6 weeks + and going strong.
Just wanted to let you know of one of your success stories. The future looks bright.
We recommend your speed dating nights to every single person we speak to. It was so much fun. Thank you.”

β€œI just wanted to let you know…

That I won’t been attending your next event. I had already purchased the ticket earlier… I attended the last event and had a wonderful time… after I worked up the courage to actually walk in…
I was so nervous and almost didn’t go in but I am really glad I did I have made a connection with a great guy and am looking forward to pursuing that and seeing how we go.

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

Looking for love in Brisbane? Ditch the endless swiping and join us for an evening of real connections at The Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar & Grill’s speed dating event for singles aged 30-47. As a local who’s navigated South Brisbane’s dating scene, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to meet genuine people between career commitments and weekend markets at West End. Located at 58 Mollison St, you’re just a 5-minute walk from South Bank station (take the Gold Coast line), or catch the 196 bus that stops right outside. For outfit inspiration, swing by Queen Street Mall or browse the boutiques at James Street – think smart casual that says “I made an effort” without trying too hard. Whether you’re coming from trendy West End or making the trek from New Farm, you’ll find yourself among like-minded locals ready to take a chance on love.

How It Works

Your evening kicks off at 7 PM sharp with our signature Speed Dating Social experience. Ladies, you’ll be seated at numbered tables while gents rotate every five minutes – just enough time to spark interest without awkward silences. Our Matching App 4.0 and conversation cards keep things flowing naturally, no “what do you do?” on repeat here. You’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with an 8 PM intermission to catch your breath and grab a drink. The best part? No awkward number exchanges – matches are revealed at 8 AM the next morning through our secure system. With 20 men and 20 women carefully selected to ensure equal ratios, you’re guaranteed quality conversations without the usual dating app fatigue.

Who You’ll Meet

Our typical crowd includes professionals who’ve outgrown the Valley scene but aren’t ready for settling in the suburbs. Think teachers unwinding after prep, IT professionals taking a break from their screens, and creative types from West End’s art scene. Many are juggling demanding careers with finding meaningful connections, tired of explaining their job title on Hinge or why they’re still single at family BBQs. Success tip: skip the resume-style chat and share what lights you up outside work – maybe your secret spot for sunrise at Kangaroo Point Cliffs or your go-to coffee order at Morning After. Those genuine moments often lead to second dates exploring the South Bank Parklands or sharing plates at Eat Street Markets.

Your Host

Speed Dating Social, founded by Brisbane local Darcy Todd in 2020, has successfully introduced 37,423 singles across 787 events. Our strict equal ratio policy ensures a balanced experience – no awkward gender imbalances here. Grab your early bird ticket for $29.90 (last release $34.90) and invest in real connection. Questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.

The Venue

The Fourth Monkey‘s art deco-inspired space sets the perfect scene for romance, with its mood lighting and intimate booth seating creating natural conversation spots. Originally a 1920s warehouse, this family-owned venue perfectly balances sophisticated charm with laid-back Brisbane vibes. Try their signature Monkey Business cocktail – a tropical twist on an espresso martini that’s perfect for breaking the ice. The venue’s riverside location means you can suggest a romantic stroll along South Bank’s arbour walk for date number two, or bond over shared childhood memories at the nearby Queensland Museum. Between the venue’s character and Brisbane’s balmy evening air, you might just find yourself writing your own love story in the river city.
