Philadelphia Bars for Singles

If you are single in Philadelphia and ready to get out there and mingle in the dating scene, there are a number of bars where you can go to meet new people. You can either try the highly concentrated areas of Center City or a quiet suburban bar in other sections of the city.

Lucky Strike's Lanes and Lounge

Lucky Strike's lounge is a bar inside of the popular Lucky Strike's Bowling Alley on Chestnut Street in Center City Philadelphia. The bar is on the fifth floor of the complex. This is an ideal place for singles to meet because the bar area is very large and inviting. There are also plenty of lounge chairs behind the bar, including an area right next to the bowling lanes. So you can sit and relax with friends with a drink by the lanes, watch people bowl, and maybe meet someone new as he's waiting for his turn.

North Star Bar

There is a small yet classy bar on South Street in Philadelphia that has an ideal atmosphere for singles called North Star Bar. North Star Bar has even hosted speed dating events, where singles talk to each other one-on-one in a few minutes then move on. This bar also turns into a club on certain nights. As soon as you walk in you've got three options for relaxing-the area right at the bar, an area on the wall across from the bar, and a back area for lounging. Once you meet someone interesting, you can then move away from the crowd and have a drink in the lounge area instead.

WineO Bar

There is a small, quaint bar in the up and coming Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia called WineO. It specializes in a wide selection of wines, thus the name. The ambiance is relaxing-the lights are dim, bartenders are friendly, and the décor is elaborate without being overwhelming. This is an ideal spot for singles because it's easy to talk to people, even those you don't know, while enjoying a drink at the bar. There are also a series of tables near the bar where you can sit for a private conversation. This bar also holds a number of ongoing events, including a wine tasting and poetry night (check the website for details).
