The Venue

The Waterloo Hotel is undoubtedly a Brisbane landmark, with spectacular Art Deco architecture and the proud facade dominating the busy intersection of Ann & Commercial in Fortitude Valley. This event will take place in the Terrace Bar.

Why CitySwoon?

Established in 2014, we are the national leader in singles events and by far the most trusted.

- Over 95% receive a mutual match
- A closely-managed balance of men & women - we work very hard at it!
- Bigger events mean better events with a party atmosphere!
- You can contact other people on CitySwoon that you didn't date too
- Over 8 years of experience! Many thousands of events plus hundreds of thousands of matches, relationships and marriages!
- It works so well, we've taken it international
- Meticulously planned events - we don't want to waste your time with cancellations, so we only list the events we're very confident will run.
- Returning Customer? Don't worry! You will NEVER be matched to the same person twice and your post-date feedback is kept confidential. (This is for real life and virtual events too) So, book into several events with confidence.
