Groups & leagues
A bar is great for a night out, but it's hard to get past small talk over loud music. A run club, a chorus or a game night gives you something to do together and the same faces every week, so by the third visit people know your name. Here are 160 LGBTQ+ clubs, leagues and regular nights in 23 cities, each with the month we last checked it was still running.
