Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Vilnius are Who Hit John?, La Birra Pub, and Alaus Biblioteka. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Lithuanians can seem quiet with strangers, but Vilnius is young and international, and its small, packed bars make talking to new people surprisingly easy.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, mostly in the Old Town and around the Station District. Most of them work well if you go alone.

A tiny 25-square-metre bar a few steps from Town Hall Square, loved by locals and an international crowd. In a room this small you end up talking to the people next to you, and conversations carry on after many places have closed.

A cosy, community-minded pub with a friendly international crowd and a busy programme of karaoke, dancing, DJ sets and concerts. Singing badly together is one of the fastest ways to make friends.
