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 ditch the endless swiping and meet genuine singles face-to-face? Welcome to Brisbane’s most talked-about speed dating night for singles aged 30-55, where real connections happen at the iconic Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar & Grill in the heart of South Brisbane. If you’re tired of ghosting and situationships, you’re not alone – Brisbane’s dating scene can feel as unpredictable as its summer storms, but that’s about to change.
Just hop on the South Eastern Busway to South Bank station (a breezy 3-minute walk away), or catch the Gold Coast train to South Brisbane station. Coming from trendy West End or bustling Kangaroo Point? You’re practically neighbors! For outfit inspiration, swing by Queens Plaza or James Street for something that says “successful professional who still knows how to have fun” – think smart casual that works for both boardroom and bar.
How It Works
Your evening of potential romance unfolds like a well-crafted cocktail – smooth, exciting, and with just the right kick. Armed with your name tag and our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0, you’ll enjoy twelve 5-minute dates between 7-9pm, with ladies staying seated while gents move between tables (much more civilized than your last attempted pub crawl down Caxton Street!). Around 8pm, we’ll break for intermission – perfect timing to grab one of Fourth Monkey’s famous espresso martinis and compare notes with your newfound friends.
Our conversation cards keep the chat flowing smoother than the Brisbane River, and unlike dating apps where you’re competing with countless profiles, you’ll meet exactly 20 potential matches face-to-face. The best part? No awkward number exchanges – at 8am the next morning, you’ll receive the contact details of everyone who picked you as a match.
Who You’ll Meet
Our crowd typically includes successful professionals who’ve mastered their careers but are looking for that missing piece. These are people who frequent the Davies Park Markets on weekends, know their way around South Bank’s best restaurants, and probably have strong opinions about which coffee shop in Brisbane Square serves the best flat white. They’re past the backpacker party phase but not ready for retirement – think active professionals who might enjoy a Saturday morning kayak to Breakfast Creek or a twilight climb at Kangaroo Point Cliffs.
The biggest dating challenge in Brisbane? Finding time to meet like-minded singles between career commitments and weekend brunches. Our tip: treat each 5-minute date like a coffee chat at Merlo – be genuine, ask questions about their favorite spots in Brisbane, and maybe suggest a follow-up date at GOMA’s latest exhibition.
Your Host
Since our founding by Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has brought together over 37,423 singles across 787 events nationwide. We maintain strict equal gender ratios through our booking system – no more awkward imbalances like at your local Valley nightclub on a Saturday night. Early birds snag tickets for $29.90, while last-release tickets are $34.90 (no refunds, but you can transfer to another event). Questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we respond faster than a green light on Coronation Drive.
The Venue
The Fourth Monkey isn’t your average Brisbane venue – this South Brisbane gem occupies a beautifully restored heritage building with exposed brick walls and vintage chandeliers that create the perfect backdrop for romance. The private space we use features intimate lighting and the perfect acoustics for conversation (unlike trying to chat at The Beat on a Friday night). Start your evening with their signature Brisbane Sunset cocktail – a locally inspired blend of Queensland rum, mango, and passionfruit that’s the perfect ice-breaker.
The venue’s proximity to South Bank Parklands means you can easily suggest a moonlit stroll along the river for date number two, perhaps ending at the iconic Streets Beach – because where else in the world can you find a beach in the middle of a city? Between the venue’s charm and Brisbane’s balmy evening weather, you might just find yourself writing your own love story in the river city.
