About Melbourne Singles Events
Singles Events Built for Melbourne
Melbourne has always been Australia’s cultural capital — and that extends to its social scene. The city’s singles deserve events that match Melbourne’s quality of venue, diversity of community, and love of genuine human connection.
Merge Dating hosts events at Melbourne’s best inner-city venues: Fitzroy, Collingwood, South Yarra, Brunswick, St Kilda, Richmond, and beyond. No speed dating, no timers, no awkward questionnaires — just a great evening in a great bar with interesting people who are genuinely single and there to meet someone.
Age brackets, LGBTQ+ events, cultural community nights — Melbourne’s Merge calendar is growing every month.
And while we love Melbourne’s inner suburbs, our events welcome singles from all over Melbourne — north, south, east, west, and outer suburbs. Wherever you’re coming from, you’re welcome.

"I'd been on Grindr for three years and met exactly no one worth dating. Came to one Merge event on a whim — met my boyfriend that same night. Still together eight months later."
