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

Are you ready to mingle, Brisbane singles? If you’re between 30-55 and looking for love, our “Prime Time Romance” speed dating event at The Mix Bar is just the ticket! Let’s face it, being single in Brissy can be tough – you’ve tried swiping through Tinder faster than you can down a XXXX at the Gabba, but still haven’t found that special someone. Well, put down your phone and join us for a night of face-to-face connections at one of Woolloongabba’s hottest spots.Β 

The Mix BarΒ at 765 Stanley St is easy to reach – just hop on the 180 bus and get off at the Woolloongabba stop. Not sure what to wear? Keep it smart casual – ladies, you can’t go wrong with a cute outfit from Living Silk in Woolloongabba. And don’t worry, you won’t just be meeting locals – we get singles from neighboring Coorparoo and Kangaroo Point too!

How It Works

Here’s how our speed dating social works: When you arrive, you’ll get a name tag and scan a QR code to access our nifty Matching App 4.0. This lets you see who else is attending and keeps track of your matches. After some mingling at the bar, the ladies take their seats and our hosts rotate the gents every 5 minutes. You’ll have 12 mini-dates in total, running from 7-9pm. Don’t stress if you’re feeling tongue-tied – we’ve got ice breaker games and conversation cards to keep things flowing.Β 

With 20 guys and 20 gals, you’re guaranteed equal ratios – no wallflowers here! Trust us, it beats endlessly swiping on Bumble or trying to decipher cryptic OkCupid profiles. At the end of the night, just select who you’d like to “Match” or “Friend” on the app, and you’ll get your mutual matches’ contact details at 8am the next day. Pro tip: Be open-minded and give everyone a fair chance!

Who You’ll Meet

So who’ll you meet at “Prime Time Romance”? These are Brisbane professionals in their prime – established in their careers but still young at heart. They’re juggling busy work schedules with trying to find time for love, and they’re tired of the dating app grind. Many have tried everything from salsa classes at West End to joining sports leagues in New Farm, but they’re ready for a more direct approach to meeting potential partners.Β 

The challenge for this group is often finding someone who’s on the same page – ready to settle down, but still fun and adventurous. Our advice? Be genuine, ask thoughtful questions, and don’t be afraid to show your playful side. If you hit it off with someone, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Southbank Parklands? A romantic stroll along the river is the perfect way to continue getting to know each other.

Your Host

Speed Dating Social has been playing Cupid since 2020 when founder Darcy Todd realized Brisbane needed more opportunities for quality face-to-face connections. We’ve hosted over 787 events and introduced more than 37,423 singles – that’s a lot of potential love connections! We always ensure equal ratios of men and women, so you’re guaranteed to have someone to chat with. Tickets start at just $29.90 for early birds, or $34.90 if you’re a last-minute decider. While we can’t offer refunds, we can promise a fun night out! Got questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.

The Venue

The Mix Bar is more than just a venue – it’s part of the Woolloongabba dating experience. This trendy spot, opened in 2018 in what used to be an old auto shop, is owned by local restaurateur Sarah Chen. The industrial-chic decor, with its exposed brick and hanging plants, creates a relaxed vibe that’s perfect for breaking the ice. The bar’s signature cocktail, the “Gabba Sunset,” is a great conversation starter – why not order one for your date?Β 

One unique feature is the vintage jukebox in the corner – our speed daters love using their song choices as a way to express their personality. The Mix Bar’s cozy booths are ideal for those moments between rotations when you want to jot down notes or catch your breath. And here’s a pro tip: arrive a bit early to snag a seat at the horseshoe-shaped bar – it’s the best spot for scoping out your fellow daters before the event kicks off!
