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

Are you ready to spice up your love life in the City of Angels? Welcome to the world of speed dating for the 29-47 crowd, affectionately known as the “Millennial-to-Gen X Minglers.” If you’re single in Los Angeles, you know the struggle is real. Between navigating the Hollywood hustle and dodging traffic on the 405, finding time for romance can feel like Mission: Impossible. But fear not, because Prank Bar at 1100 S Hope St is about to become your personal Cupid’s playground. 

This hip spot in DTLA is where the magic happens, and trust me, it’s easier to get to than scoring Lakers tickets. Hop on the Metro Red Line to 7th Street/Metro Center Station, and you’re just a short walk away from potentially meeting your soulmate. Not sure what to wear? Channel your inner LA cool with a sleek outfit from The Grove – because nothing says “date me” like a touch of retail therapy. And don’t worry, you’ll be mingling with singles from neighboring hotspots like Silver Lake and Echo Park, so get ready to expand your dating horizons faster than you can say “green juice.”

How It Works

Now, let’s break down the speed dating experience at Prank Bar. You’ll start by grabbing your name tag and scanning a QR code that unlocks the Matching App 4.0 – it’s like Tinder, but in real life and way less awkward. After some pre-game mingling (liquid courage, anyone?), the ladies take their seats while the gents play musical chairs every five minutes. 

It’s like a real-life version of The Bachelor, minus the roses and plus actual conversation. You’ll have 12 mini-dates, each lasting five minutes – just enough time to decide if you want to “Match” or “Friend” your potential paramour via the app. The best part? You’ll get your matches’ contact info at 8 am the next day, giving you plenty of time to craft the perfect “Hey, remember me?” text. With 20 guys and 20 gals, the odds are ever in your favor – unlike those dating apps where you’re competing with every photoshopped selfie in a 50-mile radius.

Who You’ll Meet

Let’s talk about who you’ll meet at these events. We’re talking about the cream of the LA crop – ambitious professionals who’ve swiped left on settling and right on finding real connections. These are folks who’ve traded in their quarter-life crisis for a game plan, but still can’t quite figure out how to balance a thriving career with a love life. They’ve tried everything from yoga retreats in Malibu to networking events in Silicon Beach, all in the name of finding “the one.” 

The challenge? Breaking through the LA cool facade and making genuine connections in a city where everyone’s got their guard up higher than the Hollywood sign. But here’s a pro tip: be yourself, ask quirky questions, and if all else fails, bond over your mutual hatred of LA traffic. And when you do find that special someone, why not suggest a second date at The Broad? Nothing says “I’m cultured and cool” like contemporary art and existential conversations.

Your Host

Speed Dating Social isn’t just another flash-in-the-pan dating trend. Founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, we’ve played Cupid for over 37,423 singles across 787 events. We’re all about equal ratios, so you’re guaranteed a full dance card. Early bird tickets are a steal at $29.90, or splurge on last-minute admission for $34.90. Just remember, like that impulse purchase from Rodeo Drive, there are no refunds. Got questions? Hit up matches@speeddatingsocial.com faster than you can say “swipe right.”

The Venue

Now, let’s talk about our venue, Prank Bar. This isn’t your average watering hole – it’s a craft cocktail paradise with a twist. Built in 2017 on the site of a former auto repair shop, Prank Bar is the brainchild of Dave Whitton, who wanted to create a space as unique as an LA sunset. The industrial-chic vibe, with its exposed brick and neon signs, sets the perfect mood for flirting. 

The bar’s signature feature? A state-of-the-art air filtration system that allows for cannabis terpene-infused cocktails – talk about breaking the ice! And let’s not forget the rooftop patio, offering views that’ll make your heart race (or maybe that’s just your date). For the full Prank experience, order their signature “Up in Smoke” cocktail – it’s the perfect conversation starter. Speed dating here feels less like an interview and more like a party where everyone just happens to be single. Pro tip: arrive early to snag a spot by the windows – nothing says “I’m interested” like good lighting and a killer backdrop.
