Gay Speedating XXL

Dating in Berlin? In theory, it’s possible anywhere; in practice, hardly ever. And it’s certainly not easy. Now Speed Dating XXL is coming to the SOOT Bar at Manifesto for the second time this month – this time as the Gay Edition. No swiping. No annoying small-talk ritual that ends up going nowhere. Instead: real conversations, real faces, and an evening that could actually lead somewhere.

The concept is simple. You meet different singles in short rounds, chat, listen, and see if there’s a spark. No pressure, no script. Up to 30 men get to know each other one-to-one in a single evening, with up to 15 dates in 120 minutes. A host guides you through the evening and signals when it’s time to move to the next seat, and for each date there’s a set question to get the conversation going.

And when the rounds are over, the bar remains open – drinks, food, and perhaps the person who was just sitting opposite you.

Whether you’re looking for a match, want to meet new people or simply fancy an entertaining evening: Speed Dating XXL brings fresh energy, great conversations and perhaps a spark or two to the SOOT Bar.

ℹ️ Age group: 20–35 📅 22 November 2026, 7.00 pm – 9.00 pm 📍 SOOT Bar, Manifesto Market, The Playce 🎟️ Tickets are available here via the Speed Dating XXL website
