About

Original Dating is proud to bring our unique brand of speed dating to Edinburgh.

If you're looking to meet new people on a fun night out and enjoy the best cocktails in town, then you've come to the right place! Our lively speed dating events at Manahatta deliver exactly that and we've hired the private downstairs room with it's own bar.

This trendy establishment is not your run of the mill venue and provides our events with an incredible dating experience, with a huge range of handcrafted cocktails.

You'll have the chance to meet a lot of people for short 4 minute dates, which is the perfect amount of time. There's also plenty of time before, during and after for a wee drink and a mingle.

After the event, you'll have access to our bespoke matching and messaging system where you'll be able to stay in touch with anyone you matched with and be lining up those dates before you know it.

If you want to meet loads of new people and have a cracking night out, book now!

Please make your way to the private downstairs room where the host will meet you on arrival.

- Doors open 7.00 pm

It’s essential that you arrive before 7.25 pm in order to take part. We might not be able to allow entry if you are late.

How it works

When you arrive at the hottest venue in town you'll be met by our friendly host. After a quick introduction explaining the night, you'll be straight onto your first date.

Each date will last around 4 minutes, the perfect amount of time to get to know someone and not that long to just have a chat, if not.

Girls stay at the same table throughout the evening and guys move around the room.

The following day you can select your matches, 'yes' 'no' or 'friend' and by 5pm you'll find out who you've matched with and be off on a date in no time. It's really that simple.

We'll have a short break halfway through for you to top up your drinks.

After the event

Once everyone has met everyone your host will round up the event but that doesn't mean the night is over, there will be plenty of time to chat some more after the event.
