About this event
Welcome to The MatchLab
Let's be honest: dating is hard.
Between the apps, endless texting, ghosting, and trying to judge chemistry through a handful of photos, meeting someone genuine can feel harder than ever.
That's why we created The MatchLab.
We're bringing singles together the old-fashioned way: face-to-face, in a relaxed bar setting, with real conversations and zero pressure.
Over the course of the evening, you'll meet a series of local singles through a series of short one-on-one dates. If you both decide you'd like to see each other again, we'll exchange your details after the event.
No awkward approaches. No wondering whether someone's interested. No spending weeks messaging someone you'll never meet.
Just good people, genuine conversations, and the opportunity to see whether there's a real connection.
What to Expect
✔ Meet multiple local singles in one evening
✔ One complimentary drink voucher on arrival
✔ Relaxed, friendly bar atmosphere
✔ Match privately after the event
✔ Stay afterwards for drinks and mingling
Who Is This Event For?
This event is designed for singles who are genuinely open to meeting someone.
Whether you're tired of dating apps, new to the dating scene, or simply looking to meet people in a more natural way, you'll be in good company.
How Matching Works
During the event you'll submit your desired matches on a private website. (Link is provided after ticket purchase).
Please note that you will need a smartphone in order to participate.
If two people select each other, we'll send through contact details the following day so you can continue the conversation.
Simple.
A Note From The MatchLab
We're based in Melbourne's South East and understand how difficult it can be to meet new people on this side of town outside of work, existing friendship circles, or dating apps.
Our goal is simple: create fun, welcoming events where genuine connections have a chance to happen.
We can't promise you'll meet the love of your life.
But we can promise you'll have better odds than another night of swiping.
