"Boy's Night" In Person Speed Dating for Gay Men (25 & Over)

No swiping endlessly, just real dates with real men.

Whether you’re looking for a fling, a long-term relationship, or new friendships, this gay speed-dating event for men 25 and over is for you. You won’t romantically mesh with everyone — that’s okay, all it takes is "one."

You’ll connect one-on-one for short 3-5 minute “dates,” and receive any matches within 24 hours of attending the event (no guarantee you'll be selected as a match).

If you are a gay man looking to find love, then look no further. You may meet the future love of your life, make a great new friend, or even meet a future business partner. This event caters to NYC's most eligible bachelors, and has proven to be a huge success making lots and lots of couples. This is one of the top NYC gay dating events in the city.

Each dater must make at least one food or drink purchase to support our host venue.

Efficiency Meets Romance: We’ve ditched the old-school pamphlets and pencils. Instead, we’re powering matches with our partner, SpeedMatchApp. No app downloads required—just a simple link click!

Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of up to (15) 3-5 minute speed dates with other single gay men ages 25+. Remember, our hosts are like human Cupids—working overtime to sprinkle romance and awkward laughter into your evening.

Pre-Event Prep: Before the big day, you'll receive an email prompting you to create a matching profile on SpeedMatchApp (takes 2 minutes). Think of it as your digital wingman/woman, making life easier for you!

Charged Up: Charge that cell phone, my friend! At the event, your phone becomes your secret weapon. As you “date,” you’ll use it to select your matches in real time.

Match Magic: Feeling a connection? Fantastic! You’ve got options baby! Select “friend,” or “date." or "none." And guess what? If the feeling’s mutual, the universe (well, our servers) will work their magic. By the time you get home from the event, you’ll receive a text with all your sizzling matches.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make new connections & potentially find your perfect match!

Avant is bright and colorful, a focal point of the market, offering a wide selection of aperitifs and low ABV cocktails – a perfect space to take in the hustle and bustle of Olly Olly.
