Speed Dating Fitzroy

Fitzroy’s dating scene is as eclectic as its street art, so dress to impress while staying true to your vibe. Gents, you can’t go wrong with a smart casual look, think a crisp button-down from Pickings & Parry on Gertrude Street, paired with well-fitted jeans. Ladies, a vintage dress from Hunter Gatherer on Brunswick Street, accessorized with some funky jewelry, will turn heads. For both, comfortable shoes are a must, you’ll be mingling! Want to freshen up your ‘do? Pop into Dr. Follicles on Johnston Street for their signature messy quiff. Remember, confidence is your best accessory. Wear something that makes you feel like a million bucks, and your dates will surely take notice.

Let’s talk turkey about our refund policy, it’s as firm as the espresso at Industry Beans. We don’t offer refunds, but we’re not heartless! If life throws you a curveball and you can’t make it, give us a shout at matches@speeddatingsocial.com (not on socials, we’re old school like that) at least 7 days before the event. If we’re feeling the love, we’ll transfer your ticket to another event in the same age range. But remember, it’s not an open-ended rain check, you’ll need to pick a specific date. Think of it like a relationship status, it’s complicated, but we make it work!
