About us
Want to meet new people in Singapore, connect with expats and locals, and build a social circle beyond work?
Welcome to the Singapore Expats & Locals Social Club โ a friendly community for expats, newcomers, internationally minded locals and people from around the world who enjoy meeting people and discovering new connections.
Singapore is an amazing city, but building a social circle as an adult isn't always easy. Work, busy schedules and existing friend groups can make it surprisingly difficult to meet new people.
We're here to make that easier.
๐ค Meet People. Connect. Socialise.
We organise relaxed social events where meeting people is the focus โ not simply showing up at a bar and hoping you'll find someone to talk to.
Our events include:
๐ค Fast Friends โ professionally hosted conversations where you meet different people throughout the evening
๐ฌ Themed connection rounds to move beyond small talk
๐ฏ Interactive social activities that give you an easy way to start conversations
๐น Social evenings at bars, restaurants, rooftops and other interesting Singapore venues
๐ Events bringing together expats, locals and internationally minded people
Our hosts welcome you, make introductions and help the evening flow naturally.
Most guests attend on their own, so you don't need to arrive with a group of friends.
๐ Who You'll Meet
You'll find a mix of:
Expats โข Singaporeans โข Newcomers โข International residents โข Young professionals โข Travellers โข Globally minded locals
Whether you've just moved to Singapore or have lived here for years, you're welcome.
Come to meet new friends, find people to explore the city with, discover new places, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening with interesting people.
โค๏ธ Our Signature Fast Friends Experience
Our Fast Friends evenings are professionally hosted social experiences designed to make meeting people easier.
Instead of walking into a large venue and wondering who to approach, you'll meet different people through short, guided conversations and interactive connection rounds.
Afterwards, stay for drinks, food and open mingling with the people you've connected with.
It's about friendship and social connection โ not a dating-only event.

You'll also get to keep a portrait as a little memory from the evening.
๐น 8:30โ9:00 PM โ Mix & Mingle
The structured part is done.
Now grab another drink, check out everyone's artwork and spend some time with the people you've enjoyed meeting.
No more rotations. No pressure.
You've already met them โ now choose who you'd like to keep talking to.๐ Why Chimi's Especial?
