What actually happens on the night.

Before: book, vote, reveal

Browse What’s on, pick a night that sounds like you, and tap Save my seat — 12 credits from your wallet, and founding members start with 50 free. That’s the admin done.

Booked members then vote on where the night happens, from a club-vetted shortlist. The exact venue stays secret until 24 hours before, when it’s revealed by email and on your bookings page. It’s a small bit of theatre — and it means nobody spends three weeks worrying about logistics.

Arriving: the first ninety seconds

Your host is there fifteen minutes early — that’s their job. You walk in, give your first name, and hear “G’day, you must be Sam” back. First names only, always: no surnames, no name tags, no lanyards.

You’re shown to the table, introduced to whoever’s already there, and the nervous part is over before your drink arrives. Coming alone is the design, not the risk — most of the table did exactly the same thing.

The shape of the night

Every get-together has a conversation menu — a short set of prompts in three courses, written for the activity and the crew. The host uses it lightly: a question to open, a deeper one once everyone’s warmed up, something playful to finish.

There are no speeches, no “fun facts bingo”, and no pressure to perform. Dinner runs about two hours; coffees and breakfasts are shorter; sport and walks end with the important part — coffee or brunch after.

Who you’ll meet

The club matches each table by city, generation, interests and intent — social, open to love, or a bit of both — and a human reviews every new group before invites go out. Six at dinner, more for sport and walks.

Intent is printed on every seat, so the vibe is never a guessing game: a social night stays social, and an open-to-love table is there for the same reason you are.

After: the follow-up

That evening the app asks who you’d happily see again — no, yes, or in a heartbeat. Your answers stay secret unless two people pick each other; then surnames, contact details and chat unlock, and the club invites you both into a circle.

Nothing mutual? Nothing awkward. Nobody knows who picked what, and your next get-together is already on the board. How feedback and circles work.

What it costs

The seat: 12 credits — about $6 from the $25 pack of 50, and free while founding memberships last. The venue: whatever you order, at venue prices, settled with them directly. We never mark up a bill, and credits never expire.
