Built for real conversation, not swiping
Four promises, written for the women in the room first. A good night for them is a good night for everyone.
How an evening works
The full evening, minute by minuteBook your seat
Choose an evening in your age bracket. Venue details arrive by email.
Meet your host
A drink at the bar, your name card, a reserved room. Your host keeps time so you can just talk.
Twelve conversations
Women stay seated, men move along. Six minutes each, then a gentle bell and a fresh seat.
Matches by morning
Tick who you'd see again. If it's mutual, you'll both have an email at 9am.
Your card, your call
At the end of the night you tick the seats you'd like to see again. Nobody sees your ticks. Only mutual ones turn into an introduction.
Six minutes is longer than you think.
and shorter than a bad first dateFind your room
Every evening is one age bracket, so you're meeting people at the same stage of life. Brackets overlap so nobody falls between two.
Weeknight evenings in the inner west. Relaxed, a little louder.
Our busiest bracket. City and east, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
North Shore and city. Calmer rooms, earlier finishes.
Earlier starts at 6:30pm and quieter rooms where you can hear yourself think.
Unhurried and sociable. Seated the whole evening, no shouting over music.
Close to the train home
We host in reserved rooms at good bars, picked for three things: you can hear each other, it feels safe arriving alone, and it's easy to get home.
Never run out of things to say

Good questions
Can I bring a friend?
Yes. Book two seats at the same evening. You won't be seated together, but you'll have someone to debrief with at the interval.
What should I wear?
Whatever you'd wear to drinks with a friend. Comfortable beats impressive.
What if I don't match anyone?
Nothing is shared and nobody knows. You've still had twelve real conversations and a good night out.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Cancel any time before the evening and the full amount goes back to your card automatically, from the link in your booking email or your account page.
