Thursday | ACS & Broken Lantern

ACS | Ponsonby Road
Just a bar. Everyone single.
Because in 2025, dating happens in real life, not through a screen.

We’re taking over ACS Ponsonby, the hidden gem upstairs of Broken Lantern. Think plush velvet, moody lighting and killer cocktails.
Expect 130+ singles, zero small talk, and a night that feels more like a scene from a movie than a dating event.

This isn’t speed dating. No name tags. No awkward icebreakers.
Just good drinks, great tunes, and real connections, all behind a secret door on Ponsonby Road.

If you want to see what our events look like, head to @thursdaydatingauckland.
Just a bar. Everyone single.
Because dating should be a vibe — not an algorithm.

See you upstairs.
xoxo
