“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
Get ready to swipe right on real-life connections at our 30-55yrs speed dating event at The Argyle, 18 Argyle St, The Rocks NSW 2000! If you’re tired of endlessly scrolling through dating apps and yearning for genuine face-to-face interactions, speed dating might just be your ticket to romance. Imagine meeting up to 20 potential matches in one night, spending five minutes with each to see if sparks fly – that’s speed dating in a nutshell, and it’s taking Sydney’s singles scene by storm. Being single in the Harbour City can be both exhilarating and exhausting, with so many fish in the sea but seemingly no time to cast your net.
That’s where we come in, bringing together Sydney’s most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes in the heart of The Rocks. Getting to The Argyle is a breeze – hop off at Circular Quay station and enjoy a short stroll through the historic district, or catch the 324 or 325 bus right to our doorstep. Not sure what to wear? Keep it classy yet casual – gentlemen, a smart shirt and jeans combo never fails, while ladies can’t go wrong with a chic cocktail dress. For last-minute outfit panic, swing by The Rocks Markets or dash over to Pitt Street Mall for some speed shopping before the main event. Whether you’re coming from trendy Surry Hills or beachy Bondi, you’ll find yourself in good company with other singles ready to mingle.
How It Works
Here’s how the night unfolds: upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a name tag and access to our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0. Ladies, you’ll be seated at your designated tables, while gents, prepare to rotate every five minutes at the sound of our bell. From 7-9pm, you’ll have 12 five-minute fast dates, with a much-needed intermission at 8pm to catch your breath and perhaps grab a cheeky drink to calm those nerves. Don’t worry about awkward silences – our conversation cards are there to keep the chat flowing smoother than a flat white from The Grounds.
At the end of each mini-date, you’ll discreetly note your interest on the app. The real magic happens at 8am the next day when you’ll receive the contact details of anyone who’s also keen on you – no more waiting by the phone! With 40 attendees (20 men and 20 women), we ensure equal ratios so everyone gets a fair shot at finding their perfect match. Trust us, it beats swiping through endless profiles and trying to decipher if that gym selfie is really them.
Who You’ll Meet
So, who’ll you meet at our events? Picture a room full of ambitious professionals, creative souls, and adventure seekers, all in their mid-40s to mid-50s. These are people juggling successful careers with a desire to find that special someone – they’re probably regulars at the local CrossFit box, weekend warriors exploring the Blue Mountains, or foodies always on the hunt for Sydney’s best dumplings. They understand the unique challenges of dating in a city where everyone’s always on the go – from long work hours to the paradox of choice in such a diverse metropolis.
Our advice? Be authentic, ask genuine questions, and remember that everyone’s in the same boat (or should we say, the same Harbor ferry?). Pro tip: brush up on your knowledge of Sydney’s latest rooftop bars or hidden beaches – it’s perfect fodder for conversation and potential second date ideas. Speaking of which, why not suggest a follow-up rendezvous at the nearby Museum of Contemporary Art? Nothing breaks the ice quite like debating the merits of modern art over a spectacular harbor view.
Your Host
Founded by matchmaking maestro Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has been playing Cupid for Sydneysiders ever since. With a track record of 787 events and 37,423 singles introduced, we’re not just throwing darts in the dark – we’re laser-focused on creating meaningful connections. Our equal ratio booking policy ensures a balanced playing field, so you won’t find yourself in a situation more lopsided than Luna Park’s Crazy House.
Tickets start at a wallet-friendly $29.90 for early birds, with last-release tickets at $34.90. And while we can’t guarantee you’ll find “the one,” we can promise a night of fun and potential – no refunds, but plenty of returns for second events! Got questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com, and we’ll get back to you faster than you can say “It’s a match!”
The Venue
Now, let’s talk about our stunning venue. The Argyle isn’t just any old watering hole – it’s a piece of Sydney history nestled in the cobblestone heart of The Rocks. This 1820s former wool store has been transformed into a multi-level wonderland of bars, lounges, and courtyards, owned by the Merivale group (yes, the same folks behind some of Sydney’s most iconic venues). The exposed sandstone walls and timber beams create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and impressive – perfect for making those crucial first impressions.
For our speed dating events, we set up in the cozy mezzanine level, offering just the right mix of privacy and buzz. Pro tip: order their signature Argyle Blush cocktail – it’s a delightful blend of gin, strawberry, and sparkling wine that’ll give you just enough Dutch courage without overdoing it. The unique layout of The Argyle means you might find yourself bonding over the venue’s quirks – like the hidden cocktail bar behind a bookcase (wink wink). And if things go well, why not suggest a second date exploring the nearby Sydney Observatory? Nothing says romance like stargazing over the city lights. So, are you ready to trade in your dating app fatigue for a night of real-life chemistry? Your perfect match could be just a few five-minute chats away!
