Success Stories πŸ’‘

Many have already found love ❀️

β€œWhen I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations

– less than zero actually.
But yup, when I walked into that bar, I saw him and went all nervous.
I wouldn’t say our first conversation was scintillating. I don’t even remember what small talk we made – maybe our jobs.
At the end of the event, I saw him sitting alone and asked whether I could sit next to him. He said he wanted to see me again and I said the same.
We are now happily and exclusively together. If I have any advice to give anyone, it would be to give speed dating a try. I was lucky to have found my person the first time around. But I had been online dating for a year with no success.

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 attended one of your speed dating nights in Hardware Lane and met the most beautiful girl. We connected and you sent our numbers to us.
We met up again the next day and have been on many dates and have spoken every day, for hours It’s been 6 weeks + and going strong.
Just wanted to let you know of one of your success stories. The future looks bright.
We recommend your speed dating nights to every single person we speak to. It was so much fun. Thank you.”

β€œI just wanted to let you know…

That I won’t been attending your next event. I had already purchased the ticket earlier… I attended the last event and had a wonderful time… after I worked up the courage to actually walk in…
I was so nervous and almost didn’t go in but I am really glad I did I have made a connection with a great guy and am looking forward to pursuing that and seeing how we go.

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 swipe right on real-life connections? Leave the endless scrolling behind and join us for an evening of authentic conversations at Hideout Bar, where Sydney’s most eligible singles (aged 32-55) are trading their dating apps for meaningful face-to-face connections. Located in the heart of Neutral Bay at 41 Grosvenor Lane, this hidden gem is easily accessible via the 225 bus from North Sydney station or a scenic 10-minute walk from Military Road. Looking sharp is half the battle – gentlemen can find the perfect smart casual ensemble at MJ Bale in Mosman, while ladies might want to check out the boutiques along Military Road in Cremorne. Whether you’re coming from the bustling streets of Kirribilli or the leafy lanes of Cammeray, you’ll find yourself in good company with other North Shore professionals looking for love.

How It Works

Your evening of potential romance unfolds over two engaging hours, featuring our streamlined Matching App 4.0 system that takes the awkwardness out of traditional speed dating. Starting at 7 PM sharp, you’ll enjoy twelve five-minute dates – just enough time to spark interest without the pressure of a long commitment. Ladies remain seated while gentlemen rotate, creating a comfortable flow throughout the evening. Our signature conversation cards keep the chat flowing naturally, and there’s a refreshing intermission at 8 PM to recharge. Unlike the endless void of dating apps, you’ll know by 8 AM the next morning if your connections were mutual, receiving contact details only for your matches – no ghosting required! With a carefully curated group of 20 men and 20 women, we ensure equal ratios and maximum opportunity for connection.

Who You’ll Meet

The typical Hideout crowd brings together accomplished professionals who’ve mastered their careers but are looking to fill that relationship-shaped void in their lives. These are people who know their pinot noir from their shiraz, have strong opinions about Sydney’s best breakfast spots, and can navigate a conversation from climate change to the latest binge-worthy Netflix series. Many are time-poor professionals facing the unique challenges of dating in Sydney’s fast-paced environment, where meaningful connections can be as rare as finding a parking spot in Neutral Bay Junction. Our speed dating format helps overcome these hurdles by creating efficient, genuine opportunities to connect. Pro tip: arrive early and grab a drink to settle those nerves – and if things click, suggest a follow-up date at the nearby Neutral Bay Wharf for sunset views that rival any dating profile picture.

The Venue

Step intoΒ Hideout Bar, where exposed brick walls and ambient lighting create the perfect backdrop for romantic possibilities. This former wool store, now a sophisticated small bar, offers intimate seating arrangements and a carefully curated atmosphere that’s both relaxed and refined. The venue’s signature espresso martinis are legendary (and might just give you that extra confidence boost), while the thoughtfully designed layout ensures private conversations can flow naturally. Each dating station is positioned to maximize comfort and minimize distractions, with the historic Neutral Bay Post Office visible through the window – a perfect conversation starter about the area’s heritage. After the event, why not suggest a second date exploring the hidden gems of the nearby Sub Base Platypus precinct, where industrial history meets harborside charm?
