Groups & leagues

Same time next week? That's how friends happen.

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 115 LGBTQ+ clubs, leagues and regular nights in 16 cities, each with the month we last checked it was still running.

Not sure how to start? Read How to make gay friends as an adult, then pick one thing here and go three times.
