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 Melbourne’s most talked-about speed dating night, where real connections happen faster than you can say “coffee on Degraves Street.” If you’re between 32-55 and tired of navigating the Melbourne dating scene solo, we’ve got something special brewing at the iconic Diesel Bar & Eatery in the heart of the CBD. Just hop off at Melbourne Central Station or catch the 30 tram to your next adventure – we’re perfectly positioned at 202 Little Lonsdale Street.
Coming from trendy Brunswick or sophisticated South Yarra? You’ll fit right in with our diverse crowd. Ladies, throw on that cute outfit from Alpha60 on Flinders Lane, and gents, Chapel Street’s boutiques have got you covered for a sharp but casual look that says “I made an effort, but I’m totally chill about it.”
How It Works
Here’s how the magic unfolds: arrive at 7 PM for a welcome drink and your special name tag (way better than your dating app profile, trust us). Ladies, you’ll be seated at our carefully arranged tables, while gents, you’ll be rotating every five minutes – just enough time to discover if you share a passion for hidden laneway bars or debate whether Manchester Press or Hash Specialty Coffee makes the better brew.
Our streamlined Matching App 4.0 makes selecting your connections as easy as ordering a flat white, and you’ll receive your matches’ contact details at 8 AM the next morning – perfect timing for planning that weekend brunch date. With 20 lovely ladies and 20 dashing gents, plus our tried-and-tested conversation cards to break the ice, you’ll enjoy 12 mini-dates that blow your dating app experiences out of the Yarra.
Who You’ll Meet
Our crowd? Think successful professionals who know their sourdough from their ciabatta and can navigate both a wine list and a quarterly report with equal confidence. These are people who’ve established themselves in their careers but recognize that finding love in Melbourne can be trickier than getting a table at Chin Chin on a Saturday night.
They’re the kind who spend their weekends at the NGV, brunching in Fitzroy, or hiking the Dandenong Ranges, and they’re looking for someone to share those adventures with. Pro tip: mentioning the latest exhibition at ACMI or suggesting a future walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens can be great conversation starters – much better than the weather (though Melbourne gives us plenty to talk about there too).
Your Host
Since our founding by local matchmaker Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has brought together over 37,423 singles across 787 events, with more success stories than there are trams in the CBD. We maintain strict equal ratios and keep our prices accessible at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for last-minute decision-makers (like booking your favourite restaurant during MFWF, the early bird gets the best seats). Questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we’re as responsive as a barista during morning coffee rush.
The Venue
Diesel Bar & Eatery isn’t just another Melbourne venue; it’s a heritage-listed gem that’s seen more romantic connections than Federation Square has seen tourists. The exposed brick walls and ambient lighting create the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations, while the expert mixologists can whip up their signature “First Impression” espresso martini to help calm those pre-date jitters.
The venue’s central location means you’re just steps away from some of Melbourne’s most iconic date spots – perhaps your speed dating success could lead to a romantic evening stroll through the fairy-lit trees at Birrarung Marr or a nightcap at one of Chinatown’s secret bars. After all, the best Melbourne love stories start with a chance meeting in the city’s beating heart.
