The Event What to expect?

Stop the press! CitySwoon's unique Matched Speed Dating for Gay Men has arrived in Oakland! We are excited to invite you to experience the modern take on traditional speed dating, in a great bar - this event will be the perfect way to relax and meet a few singles throughout the evening.

Fill out a profile in under 5 minutes and be matched on a series of 6-8 quick-fire date rounds to THE most compatible singles in the room.

Check-in is on your phone, with NO match cards, drink tokens, paper or pens required - just bring your phone and your great attitude! So, please ensure it's fully charged.

The Venue

Baggy's By The Lake is one of Oakland's oldest bars. Opened in the 1930's, just after prohibition ended, it has become a neighbourhood legend, and with a welcoming & friendly atmosphere, a relaxed ambience and great cocktails, it's the perfect place for a date...or eight! To celebrate our launch in Oakland, there will be drink specials and maybe even a special CitySwoon cocktail available for attendees to savor!

The Event:

- You will experience a series of relaxed mini-dates selected for you each round by an intelligent algorithm live at the event.
- Hosted by a friendly and professional team.
- Handpicked, top bar with a welcoming atmosphere.
- Connect freely with your mutual matches the next day on CitySwoon.
- Opportunity to connect with the other participants you don't date on the night.
