Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Bengaluru are Church Street Social, Koramangala Social, and Toit. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Bengaluru is full of people who moved here for work, so being new in town is the norm and plenty of others are looking for company too. Brewpubs, talks, plays and weekend run clubs are where friendships and dates usually begin.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, from Church Street and Indiranagar to Koramangala, Domlur, JP Nagar and Hennur. All of them work if you go alone.
