The Parlour Bar at The Oaks Hotel, 118 Military Road, Neutral BayTwelve first dates in one unhurried early evening, and you never have to start a conversation cold.
Oh Hi is speed dating with a host who looks after the room. Twelve women and twelve men, all 45 to 60, in the Parlour Bar at The Oaks Hotel, 118 Military Road, Neutral Bay.
When: Thursday 19 November 2026, 6:30 to 8:30pm. Aim to arrive 15 minutes early. The earlier start means you're home by 9 or 9:30.
How the night works
- Your host meets you at the door, hands you your name card and introduces you to whoever's already there.
- Women stay seated. At each bell the men move to the next table: twelve conversations, six minutes each.
- At the end you tick the people you'd like to see again.
- 9am the next morning: if someone you ticked also ticked you, you both get an email with each other's first name and email address. No mutual tick, no contact. That's the rule.
Coming alone? The whole evening is designed for it. Your host introduces you, and the bell does the rest.
Bring a friend and save $10 each. Choose the "Bring a friend" ticket: two seats on the same side for $45 each, even after the early-bird seats are gone.
The fine print, kept short
- Full refund any time before the evening. No questions asked.
- Can't make it? Transfer your seat to a friend in the same age bracket and on the same side.
- Drinks aren't included; the bar is open all night.
- Smart casual: dress as you would for a good first date.
- Every ticket holder gets our free "Before the night" guide by email: what to wear, a few good first questions, and how the ticking works.
Questions
Do I need to bring anything? Just yourself. Your host has your name.
Running late? Come anyway. Your host will seat you at the next bell.
Know someone there? Tell the host and we'll skip that conversation.
Can I stay seated all evening? Yes. Tell us before the night and the conversations come to you, whichever side of the room you're on.
Do I have to drink alcohol? Not at all. Every venue has good non-alcoholic options and nobody will ask.
Is the room really even? Women's and men's seats are sold separately, so each side has its own tickets.
What do matches get? A first name and an email address, and only if you both ticked each other. We never share a phone number.
