Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Hong Kong are Friday Latin Dance Night at Sole Mio, Lan Kwai Fong, and The Globe. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Hong Kong is fast, busy and very international, but long working hours and small flats mean social life happens out in the city, with people you already know. The easiest way to meet someone new is to go where joining in is part of the plan: a dance floor, a pub table, a workshop or a group hike.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, on both sides of the harbour, with different budgets and times of day. All of them work if you go on your own.
