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.
Running since 1983 and open to all paces. You choose your own distance on the Schuylkill River Trail, walkers are welcome, and most people head to brunch at Little Pete's afterwards. It's free.
Church of the Holy Trinity basement, 1904 Walnut St (Rittenhouse)
A long-running LGBTQ+ recovery meeting held six nights a week. The same space also hosts a 10:30pm 'Night Owl' meeting and Crystal Meth Anonymous at 7:15pm.
Philly's legendary drag-hosted charity bingo, now 30 years old and raising money for HIV support (Action Wellness). Expect a loud, glittery, joyful crowd. The 2026–27 season continues with a new host.
Schedules are as each group gives them: monthly groups meet once a month, and seasonal leagues only in season. Times change, so check the group's own site before you go. Something wrong, or a group we're missing? Post in Friends & Community. Nobody pays to be listed.
