Here at Slow Dating, when we start running speed
dating events in a new town, we have the tough job of going from bar to
bar as part of our "research" to find just the right venue. We spend many hours
inside bars establishing a feel for the place. Naturally, we chat to the bar staff, the cab drivers and plenty
of locals in our quest to find the right venue.
Uppermost in our minds at all times is your safety - we ensure all of
our venues are conveniently located, on well-lit streets with nearby secure
parking and easy access to public transport.
We look for something stylish, contemporary and comfortable, intimate yet
spacious. We want you to know that when you book with us, you can be confident
that you will be in a place where you will be relaxed and you don't have to
shout to be heard. We look for private areas for our exclusive use to ensure you are
not in a goldfish bowl environment, and we will do our best to ensure the
lighting is soft and the background music is chosen to complement the
atmosphere and mood.
Booking with us, we can promise you a truly enjoyable experience. Each
location is carefully chosen for its combination of space, intimacy and
atmosphere to provide just the right environment for you to have a night
to remember.
Amongst the bars we are using over the coming weeks:
