Taipei Friday Solo Travelers & Expats Social + Hosted Bar Hopping 🍻🌃

Come Solo. Meet People. Go Out Together. 🤗

Are you traveling alone, new to Taipei, living here as an expat, or simply looking for people to go out with on Friday night?
Taipei Weekend Social is made for solo travelers,
expats, newcomers, international students and friendly locals who want an easy way to meet people in Taipei.

Coming alone is completely normal here. 😊

Our hosts welcome new guests, help with introductions, and give everyone time to meet before the night continues.
Then, around 10 PM, anyone who wants to keep going can join the group for hosted bar hopping.

So instead of entering Taipei nightlife alone, you already have people to go with. 🙌

No Meetup account? You can RSVP through our website instead.

✨ How Friday Night Works

1. Meet the Group at Somewhere Bar 🍷

We start at 7:30 PM at Somewhere Bar, near Liuzhangli MRT Station.
Grab your included drink, meet the group and settle in.
Our hosts help new guests join conversations and introduce people naturally, especially if you arrive alone. 🙂

You’ll usually meet:
✦ Solo travelers
✦ Expats and newcomers
✦ International students
✦ Remote workers
✦ Taiwanese locals who enjoy meeting international people
English and Mandarin are both commonly used.
This is a social event, not a language class.

2. Hosted Bar Hopping After 10 PM 🍻🌃

Around 10 PM, our hosts gather everyone who wants to continue and lead the group to the next nightlife area.
Depending on the night, we may go to:

Maji Square
or
Xinyi District

Both are among Taipei’s liveliest nightlife areas, with bars, music, DJs, outdoor spaces and plenty of places to keep the night going.
You don’t need to plan the next stop yourself.

By then, you already know some people from the first part of the night.
It feels more like going out with a group than walking into a new place alone. 😄
Stay for one stop or continue longer.

❤️ Why Join Taipei Weekend Social?

Many nightlife events expect you to arrive and start talking to strangers right away.
We make the first step easier.

Friday starts with a relaxed social, so you have time to meet people before the night gets louder.

Our hosts help with introductions, welcome solo guests and stay with the group when bar hopping begins.
By the time we move to the next place, you already know some names and faces.

That’s what makes Friday different. 🙂

👥 Who Is This Event For?

This event is a good fit if:
✦ You are traveling in Taipei alone
✦ You recently moved to Taipei
✦ You are an expat living in Taiwan
✦ You are an international student
✦ You want to meet locals and international people
✦ You want to enjoy Taipei nightlife with a group
✦ You want to meet people without having to

approach strangers completely on your own
You don’t need to be very outgoing.

Show up, grab a drink and let the night build naturally. 😊
