Meeting new people isn’t easy — but showing up is half the battle. Whether you’re into books, art, music, sports or just vibing in a café, these spaces are designed for connection!
If you’re struggling to make friends or meet new people in Hong Kong, you’re not alone. Being queer, it can be even trickier to find your people — there are plenty of LGBTQ+ bars and clubs (and, god help us, dating apps) in our city, but it’s often more difficult to find casual, inclusive communities suited to the daytime or the work week. But guess what? There are amazing queer-friendly spaces where you can actually chat, create and connect. So, if you’re tired of swiping through apps or making awkward small talk at the bar, check out the following businesses and communities where you can drop by, get involved or become a patron!
