🌈Thursday | LGBTQ+ Valentines Matchmaking | The Pontiac

🌈 QUEER SINGLES OF HONG KONG — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU 💘

Valentine’s is around the corner — so this one’s for the queer romantics, the hopefuls, and the “I‑swear‑I‑was‑just‑coming‑for‑a‑drink” crowd. 💋
Because 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not just in DMs.

It’s just a bar, everyone single — and everyone welcome.
This is a co‑ed event for the entire LGBTQ+ community, and the software we use for matchmaking lets you indicate your orientation and meet real people who vibe the way you do. 🌈✨

🍸 The Vibe

We’re turning up the love at one of Hong Kong’s top 50 bars — the kind of place that knows how to throw a night that’s equal parts flirtation and fun.
Think inclusive energy, good music, strong drinks, and maybe a hint of pre‑Valentine’s chaos.

💻 The Match Magic

We’ve teamed up with Matchbox Parties for an unforgettable night of drinks, mingling, and matchmaking powered by behavioural science.

The Matchbox algorithm has successfully paired over half a million people across 40 countries — using real relationship science to find compatibility rooted in shared values (and maybe a little luck).

You’ll fill out your match questionnaire on arrival, chat, flirt, mingle, and see who your algorithmic Cupid picks for you. 🏹

💕 Why You’ll Love It

✨ A room buzzing with 100+ queer singles before Valentine’s Day
🍸 Cocktails + chemistry = statistically higher chance of a meet‑cute
💘 The algorithm finds your best match — but you decide if there’s a spark
🌈 Inclusive, intentional, community‑driven fun

Our suggested age range is 25‑35, but if your energy matches ours, you’re welcome <3

💭 Remember

The matching process is highly intentional — come with an open mind.
If it’s not love at first sight, that’s OK. At the very least, you’ll meet values‑aligned, awesome people (aka people you’ll actually want to talk to).

Be kind, be curious, and who knows? You might just beat Valentine’s to the punch. 💌
