Date My Mate @ Henry G's Wine Parlour
Friend-powered dating in the Wine Parlour.
Mates pitch their friends inside Henry G's — a considered wine list, carefully crafted pintxos and an intimate, low-lit room a few steps from the beach. No-pressure evening, just an easy night at Manly's timeless little wine escape.
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 pitch takes the floor
Mates take the mic in the Wine Parlour, pitching their friends to a room full of people. Intimate room, warm lighting, a glass of something good in hand.
Everyone mingles
Half the room came along just to watch, sip 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."
