Meet New People, Skip the Small Talk: The First Round Redefines the Social Scene

An exclusive dining experience in Sydney, designed to help you break out of your routine, meet new people, and forge genuine connections in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Sydney | 3 June, 2025 – Great conversations. Interesting people. Memorable nights. That’s the idea behind The First Round—a curated social dining experience by Fever, the leading global live entertainment discovery platform.

Designed for people who are curious, open, and always up for something new, The First Round brings together small groups over dinner at standout local spots. The venue is revealed just 24 hours in advance, adding a sense of anticipation and discovery to the experience. It’s not networking. It’s not a singles event. It’s simply a more thoughtful, elevated way to meet like-minded people.

Upon signing up, participants complete a brief questionnaire, which informs a sophisticated matchmaking algorithm that assembles each dinner group based on shared interests and social dynamics. The result is an evening of genuine connection that feels natural, engaging, and refreshingly effortless.

Optional conversation prompts will guide the evening with light structure, keeping the atmosphere relaxed, welcoming, and engaging. It’s a fresh, enjoyable way to connect with others over great food—without the small talk, awkward intros, or expectations.

Each event offers a new mix of people and a different setting, making every round a unique experience. The First Round is now available in Sydney, with reservations exclusively through the Fever app and website.
