Just a bar. Everyone single.
Because in 2025, dating happens in real life, not through a screen.
We’re taking over Hoppers Garden Bar, the lush, open-air spot on Ponsonby that feels like a tropical escape in the middle of the city. Think greenery, fairy lights, cocktails that hit, and the kind of buzz you only get on a Thursday night.
Expect 100+ singles, zero small talk, and a night that feels more like a summer rooftop party than a dating event.
This isn’t speed dating. No name tags. No awkward icebreakers.
Just good drinks, great tunes, and real connections — under the stars at Hoppers.
If you want to see what our events look like, head to @thursdaydatingauckland.
Just a bar. Everyone single.
Because dating should be a vibe — not an algorithm.
See you in the garden.
xoxo
