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
Tired of swiping left and right on dating apps like Tinder and Bumble? Ready to meet real people face-to-face? Well, buckle up, Melburnians, because Speed Dating Social is bringing the romance back to Brunswick! If you’re single and ready to mingle in the 40-65 age range, this event is your ticket to potential love connections.
Picture this: You’re at the historic Hotel Railway Brunswick, a gem nestled at 291 Albert St, Brunswick VIC 3056. The venue’s exposed brick walls and vintage railway memorabilia set the perfect mood for a night of romantic possibilities. Getting there is a breeze – hop on the 19 tram and get off at the Brunswick Road/Sydney Road stop, or take a short stroll from Brunswick station. Not sure what to wear? Pop into Dejour Jeans on Sydney Road for a pair of perfectly fitted denim that’ll make you feel like a million bucks.
As you enter the buzzing atmosphere, you’ll be greeted by our friendly hosts who’ll hand you a name tag and guide you through the process of scanning the QR code for our nifty Matching App 4.0. This little beauty lets you see all the attendees on your phone – no more awkward “Is that my date?” moments! You’ll have time to mingle at the bar, perhaps sipping on Hotel Railway’s signature espresso martini to calm those first-date jitters.
How It Works
When the bell rings, ladies take their seats while the gents rotate every five minutes. It’s like musical chairs, but with the potential for a love story! You’ll enjoy 12 mini-dates, each lasting five minutes – just enough time to decide if there’s a spark without the pressure of a long, awkward silence. At the end of each date, discreetly select ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ on your app. The best part? You’ll receive your matches’ contact details at 8 am the next day – giving you time to sleep on it and avoid any wine-induced decisions!
So, who’ll you meet at this shindig? Well, you’re likely to bump into successful professionals from Brunswick, Coburg, and Fitzroy who’ve mastered their careers but are still searching for that special someone. You might chat with a craft beer enthusiast who knows GABS Festival like the back of their hand, or a yoga instructor who can recommend the best spots in Princes Park for a romantic picnic. These aren’t your average 20-somethings looking for a hookup – these are mature singles seeking genuine connections.
Many attendees have tried online dating but found it lacking that personal touch. They’re ready to put down their phones and engage in real conversations. And let’s face it, navigating the dating scene in your 40s, 50s, and 60s can be trickier than finding parking on Lygon Street during peak hour. But fear not! Our events are designed to break the ice and get the conversation flowing. Pro tip: use our conversation cards if you’re feeling stuck – they’re better than asking “So, do you come here often?”
Who You’ll Meet
At our Midlife Mingle, you’ll meet a diverse group of professionals who are at similar stages in life. Many are established in their careers, perhaps divorced or single parents, and looking for meaningful connections. They might frequent local hotspots like Elizabeth Quay or Kings Park for outdoor activities, but struggle to meet potential partners organically.
Some have tried online dating without success, while others are dipping their toes into the dating pool after long-term relationships. The challenges of balancing work, family, and a social life are common, but our event provides a dedicated space to focus on romance. To make the most of your speed dating experience, come with an open mind and a few conversation starters up your sleeve. And if you hit it off with someone, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Perth Zoo? It’s a perfect spot for a fun, relaxed outing to get to know each other better.
Your Host
Founded by the matchmaking maestro Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has played Cupid at over 787 events, introducing more than 37,423 singles. We always ensure equal ratios of men and women, so you’re guaranteed someone to chat with – unlike that time you got stood up at Brunetti’s. Tickets are a steal at $29.90 for early birds and $34.90 for last-minute love-seekers. No refunds, but can you really put a price on potential happiness? For any queries, drop a line to matches@speeddatingsocial.com.
The Venue
Now, let’s talk about the venue. Hotel Railway Brunswick isn’t just any old pub. Built in 1890, this former railway hotel has seen more romantic encounters than a Jane Austen novel. Current owner, local legend Jimmy O’Brien, has preserved its charm while adding modern touches that make it perfect for our events. The cozy booths provide just enough privacy for intimate chats, while the bustling main bar area offers a great spot for post-event mingling. And if you’re lucky enough to score a second date, why not suggest a romantic stroll through the nearby CERES Community Environment Park? Nothing says “I’m environmentally conscious and totally dateable” like admiring sustainable gardens together.
So, Melburnians, are you ready to trade in your dating apps for some face-to-face flirting? Come join us at Hotel Railway Brunswick and who knows – you might just find yourself on the fast track to love. After all, in the words of a wise Brunswick barista, “Life’s too short for bad coffee and missed connections.” See you there, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
