FAQ
What if I've never done speed dating before?
Perfect - neither had anyone else at their first event. H & Mads host throughout the night, explain everything as you go, and make sure nobody's awkwardly standing alone. This is facilitated fun, not sink-or-swim chaos.
Will I actually meet quality people?
That's the whole point. Our pricing and format naturally attract people who are serious about meeting someone (or at minimum, serious about good food and a fun Thursday night). Plus we actively balance the gender ratio so the experience is fair for everyone.
Is this just for people looking for relationships?
Most people come open to possibilities - whether that's a relationship, dating casually, or just expanding their social circle. The vibe is "quality connections" not "ring shopping." Come with an open mind and see what happens.
What's the dress code?
Cocktail party vibes. Think date-night outfit, not trackies, but also not black tie. Look good, feel confident, don't overthink it. Pincho Disco is moody and gorgeous - you'll fit right in.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely! Just make sure you both buy your own tickets. We find people who come with a friend often feel more comfortable, especially first-timers. Just remember you'll be split up during speed dating (that's the whole point).
I'm attending solo and feeling nervous - is that normal?
Totally normal and you're definitely not alone. Most people come solo. H & Mads are there the whole time specifically to make sure nobody feels left out or awkward. Plus the facilitated activities mean you're never just standing around wondering what to do next.
What if one ticket type sells out?
We balance male and female tickets to ensure a good experience for everyone. If your gender/ticket type sells out, join the waitlist - we sometimes release additional spots or can notify you about future events.
Can I get a refund if I can't make it?
Tickets are non-refundable but are transferable. If you can't attend, you can transfer your ticket to someone else - just email us at hello@steakbabes.com.au with the new attendee's details at least 48 hours before the event.
Will there be vegetarian/dietary options?
The menu features premium beef canapes as hero items (this is Steakbabes after all), but also includes seafood options. If you have serious dietary restrictions, email hello@steakbabes.com.au and we'll see what we can arrange with the venue. No promises, but we'll try.
What's different about this vs your usual speed dating events?
This is bigger (100 people vs 30), more casual, and cocktail-party style rather than structured 8-course dining. You'll still get speed dating and hosted activities, but with more freedom to mingle, move around, and control your own pace. Perfect if you want to dip your toes in before committing to our full 8-course events.
I loved the intimate Steak & Date format - will those still happen?
Absolutely! Our traditional 8-course speed dating events will continue in 2026. This Singles Soirée is a special year-end celebration with a different vibe - both have their place.
