Speed Dating Newtown | Ages 22–30 | Tue 17 Nov 20267pm–9pm · Newtown Hotel (The Supper Club), 174 King Street
from $45
Newtown is the obvious place to run speed dating in the inner west: it's on the train line, it's full of pubs with back rooms, and half of Sydney's single people under thirty-five seem to live within walking distance of King Street. Oh Hi runs a twenties night there, and an LGBTQ+ night with one open room and no sides. The next one is Tuesday 17 November 2026 in Newtown.

Speed dating in Newtown
Oh Hi has 2 evenings coming up on the inner west, in Newtown, for ages 22–30 and 25–45. Each evening is one age bracket: twelve women and twelve men at the standard nights, or one open room at the LGBTQ+ night, twelve six-minute conversations, an interval, and mutual matches by email at 9am the next morning. A twenties bracket, 22–30, because the inner west skews young, plus Sydney's queer nightlife is clustered around Newtown and Enmore, which is why our first LGBTQ+ night is here.
Evenings on the inner west
All of Sydney
Getting there
Newtown: the venue is a short walk from Newtown station, on the Inner West line a few stops from Central. Buses run the length of King Street from the city and from the Enmore and Marrickville side.
If you're coming from Leichhardt, Balmain or Annandale, buses to Newtown are easier than the train.
Every evening finishes by about 9pm, so the trip home is easy. Arrive fifteen minutes early; your host will be at the door.
the format, in brief
- One age bracket per evening, so the room is people at a similar point in life.
- Twelve six-minute conversations, with a minute between to change seats and a short interval at halfway.
- A host keeping time. You never have to end a conversation yourself.
- Matches by morning: mutual ticks get each other's first name and email at 9am. Nothing else is shared.
- Full refund if you cancel any time before the evening. Refund policy.
The venues
We book a reserved area at a pub, never a function room, picked so you can hear each other. On the inner west that is Newtown Hotel (The Supper Club), plus a venue in Newtown that ticket holders hear about a week before the evening. Street addresses are on each evening's page. Know a bar that should host one? Tell us.
