Heinen’s
Whether you want to kick back at a low-key dive bar, show off your dance moves on a crowded dance floor, or sip dirty martinis in a cocktail lounge, NYC has a singles scene to suit your every whim. These bars to meet singles offer a variety of ways to strike up a conversation and find your future sweetheart.
If you’re the sort of person who likes to read Russian sci-fi while sipping vodka tonics, try KGB Bar, a quirky downtown speakeasy with red lighting and one way mirrors. If you prefer tropical-themed cocktails and large-format drinks, check out Jungle Bird in Chelsea. And, if you’re more into a laid-back pub vibe, head to Union Pool for drinks and live music. If the weather permits, they’ll even break out foosball tables and a rooftop movie screen.
The Coffee House
In addition to a good cup of coffee, this Brooklyn coffee shop also serves up a variety of brunch classics. Guests can sit on the back patio or in one of the cozy wooden booths. The staff is friendly and helpful, making it a perfect place to meet singles.
This coffee house and dining saloon is a great place to hang out, especially if you’re looking for someone with the same interests. You can order a delicious coffee, play some innocent games (no gambling), and discuss current events. The two-story building also provides private curtained booths and large meeting rooms for businessmen and politicians. This location was formerly called The King’s Arms Tavern.
Jungle Bird
Jungle Bird, a tropical cocktail bar in Chelsea, is the perfect place to stop after strolling around the neighborhood. It offers classic cocktails and food, all at reasonable prices. It also has a beautiful atmosphere.
Tiki cocktails have a reputation for being overly sweet and juvenile, but they can be sophisticated when made well. The Jungle Bird is a dark rum drink that is rich, aromatic, and balanced by bitter Campari.
The owner of the new restaurant, a self-described “bar fly,” says he got inspiration for the menu from his travels in South Florida and South America. The restaurant opened in September and is located on the ground floor of downtown’s Exchange building. It features a custom bar, private dining room, and high-energy Latin jazz music.
Slippery Slope
Slippery Slope is the newest single by emerging alt-pop star phem. This vulnerable track packs a powerful emotional punch and is about embracing a new era. It also answers a few questions that have been hanging around from the Baudelaire series.
One of the most unique and odd bars in Chicago, Slippery Slope is at once a packed dance club, skee ball lounge and intimate upstairs speakeasy. Its quirky atmosphere makes it the perfect space to make a connection with someone new.
If you’re tired of dating apps, this is the bar for you. This West Loop club is swamped wall-to-wall with twenty and thirty-somethings looking to party. It also has a slightly seedy neighborhood bar vibe and some great tunes. The dance floor is a great place to strike up a conversation or meet someone new.
Bub City
Bub City is the new Rosemont destination for barbecue, whiskey and live country music from the team behind Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed Street. The restaurant’s wide-open layout with picnic tables and Christmas lights evokes a Southern barn, though the menu here is distinctly modern.
You can get your fill of slow-cooked American meats — lean and fatty cuts, brisket, chicken and pulled pork — plus the usual ribs. Mac-n-cheese, fried pickles and griddled burgers round out the meal.
The whiskey menu is world class and a nightly lineup of up-and-coming country artists plays inside the adjacent venue. You can grab a seat at the bar or pull up a stool at the long whiskey counter. It isn’t a place for calorie counters but the atomic cheesy fries and sticky sweet brisket nachos are worth it.
