Date My Mate @ Harbord Diggers
Friend-powered dating above Freshwater.
Mates pitch their friends at the Northern Beaches' big clifftop club — ocean views, a proper screen for the decks and room for a hundred. No-pressure evening, just an easy night out at Freshwater's favourite local.
How It Works
A mate builds the pitch
They put together a short slide deck about why their single mate is a catch. Humour encouraged.
The mate takes the mic
Mates take the mic in the Sports Bar, pitching their friends to a room full of people with the deck up on the screen behind them.
Everyone mingles
Half the room came along just to watch, drink and mingle — that's where most connections happen. Grab a Mingle Ticket if that's you. No swiping. Just walk up and say "Hi, I liked your pitch."

The Sports Bar at Harbord Diggers
Harbord Diggers sits on the headland above Freshwater, with sweeping views toward Curl Curl beach and the Northern Beaches coastline. It's a proper local institution — several bars and kitchens, an ocean terrace, and parking on site.
We're in the Sports Bar, which seats a hundred and comes with the screen and projector the pitches need. Doors, decks and the mingle all happen in the one room.
