Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Gdansk are Józef K., Bunkier Klubogaleria, and Drizzly Grizzly. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Gdansk mixes a beautiful historic Main Town with a post-industrial shipyard district that has become one of the most interesting places to go out in Poland, and Wrzeszcz adds a younger, more local scene.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, with a mix of budgets, ages and formats, from food halls with shared tables to a concert club and a brewpub on the waterfront. Most of them work perfectly well if you go alone.
