Gay Speed Dating for Gay Men 25 & Over in Chelsea | Queer Speed Dating

Gay Men Speed Dating

Meet up to 15 gay men in one evening — with mutual matches sent that same night.
This is a partner-hosted event, separate from PlentyofParties.

Join our partners for an in-person Speed Dating for Gay Men 25+ at Bar Avant, the vibrant cocktail bar inside Olly Olly Market in Chelsea. It’s a relaxed, social way to meet other single gay men who are also looking to connect — just in time for Valentine’s season.

Whether you're hoping to make new friends, spark something romantic, or simply enjoy a fun night out, this event creates an easy atmosphere for genuine conversation.

Each guest is kindly asked to make at least one food or drink purchase to support our host venue.

A Modern Speed Dating Format
No paper, no pencils — just smooth, simple matching powered by our partner SpeedMatchApp. No downloads needed; everything is done through a quick link.

Up to 15 Mini Dates
Enjoy a series of 3–5 minute conversations with other gay men 25 and older. Our hosts will guide the flow and keep the energy light, friendly, and fun.

Before the Event
You’ll receive an email with a link to set up your SpeedMatchApp profile (takes under 2 minutes).

During the Event
Use your phone to mark each date as “friend,” “date,” or “none.”

After the Event
If you and someone choose each other, you’ll get a text with your mutual matches later that night — no guesswork.

Bar Avant is bright, colorful, and the centerpiece of Olly Olly Market. With aperitifs and low-ABV cocktails, it’s an ideal setting to meet new people while soaking in the buzz of Chelsea’s lively food hall.
