Success Stories 💑

Many have already found love ❤️

“When 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.”

“I 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

Alright, fellow New Yorkers, buckle up for a wild ride through the concrete jungle of love! If you’re a 25-36 year old single in the Big Apple, you know the struggle is real. We’ve all been there, swiping through Tinder faster than a Times Square pickpocket, hoping to find that special someone who doesn’t think Central Park is just a TV show. Well, put down your phone and pick up your social game, because Speed Dating Social is bringing the heat to St. Pat’s Bar & Grill in Midtown Manhattan!

Picture this: You’re strutting down 46th Street, fresh from a shopping spree at Macy’s Herald Square (because let’s face it, your “Netflix and chill” sweatpants aren’t gonna cut it tonight). You hop off the M7 bus at 5th Avenue, the smell of possibility (and maybe a hint of street cart halal) in the air. As you approach 22 W 46th St, you can already hear the buzz of potential love connections brewing inside St. Pat’s. This isn’t your grandma’s church social – this is where the “Young, Fun, and Done with Dating Apps” crowd comes to mingle!

How It Works

Now, let’s talk about what goes down at these shindigs. First things first, you’ll get your name tag (pro tip: use your real name, not your Reddit username). Then, you’ll scan a QR code faster than you can say “swipe right” to access the Matching App 4.0. This bad boy lets you see who’s who without any awkward “Hey, you look different from your profile pic” moments. After some pre-game mingling at the bar (liquid courage, anyone?), the ladies take their seats while the gents play musical chairs every 5 minutes. It’s like Tinder, but with actual human interaction – shocking, I know!

You’ll get 12 five-minute mini-dates, which is more action than you’ve seen since… well, let’s not go there. The event kicks off at 7 and wraps up at 9, giving you plenty of time to hit up Shake Shack afterwards for a post-date debrief with your bestie. During the intermission, there are ice breaker games that’ll make you wish you’d paid more attention in your improv class. And if you’re tongue-tied, there are conversation cards to save you from talking about the weather (again). With 40 attendees split evenly between guys and gals, the odds are better than trying to score Hamilton tickets on Broadway.

Who You’ll Meet

Now, let’s talk about who you’ll meet. These aren’t your average Joe Schmoes from Jersey Shore. We’re talking young professionals who’ve mastered the art of power walking in dress shoes, can navigate the subway system blindfolded, and know the best dollar slice joint in every borough. They’ve tried everything from coffee shop meet-cutes to joining obscure clubs (underwater basket weaving, anyone?). Their biggest challenge? 

Finding someone who doesn’t think “commitment” is just something you do to a Git repository. But fear not! At Speed Dating Social, you’ll meet folks who are ready to trade in their Bumble notifications for actual dinner reservations. And if things go well, why not suggest a second date at the Top of the Rock? Nothing says “I’m falling for you” like a view that’ll make your heart skip a beat (or maybe that’s just the vertigo).

Your Host

Founded by love guru Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has played cupid for over 37,423 singles across 787 events. They’re all about equality, so you’ll never be left high and dry without a chat partner. Early bird tickets are a steal at $29.90, or splurge on a last-minute ticket for $34.90 (still cheaper than that fancy cocktail you’ll inevitably spill on your date). No refunds, folks – consider it an investment in your love life! Got questions? Hit up matches@speeddatingsocial.com faster than you can say “It’s not you, it’s me.”

The Venue

Last but not least, let’s dish about the venue. St. Pat’s Bar & Grill isn’t just another Irish pub – it’s a Midtown institution that’s been serving up pints and possibilities since the Prohibition era. Legend has it, the place used to be a speakeasy run by none other than the infamous “Lucky” Luciano. These days, it’s owned by the O’Malley brothers, who’ve kept the vintage charm while adding modern touches perfect for our speed dating shenanigans. 

The exposed brick walls have witnessed more first meetings than a Starbucks barista, and the dim lighting is forgiving enough to hide that coffee stain on your shirt (we won’t tell). Don’t miss their signature “Love Potion No. 9” cocktail – it’s got more kick than a Rockette and might just give you the courage to bust out your best pick-up line. And here’s a hot tip: grab a seat at the vintage mahogany bar for the pre-event mingle. It’s the perfect spot to scope out the scene and maybe even snag a pre-match before the official festivities begin. Remember, in New York, love moves fast – so you better keep up!
