If your group chat is going stale or you’re keen to get out and about with folks who love the same stuff you do, Brisbane’s got your back. From run clubs to book clubs and creative hangs, here’s your unofficial guide to some of the best social clubs in town to help you make genuine connections and have a laugh while you’re at it.
For the runners
@brisbangirlsrunclub @brisbanesocialrunclub @gotheruns @huckingmiles @scossierc @sparrowsrunco
Run clubs are having a moment and Brisbane is all in. Whether you’re a beginner jogger or marathon dreamer, there’s a run group for you. These clubs combine fitness with social hangs like riverside runs followed by coffee catch-ups. Sparrows Run Co gets a special mention for their run and walk options which are perfect if you’re more of a chat and shuffle type.
For the bookworms
@bne.chapters
If you’d rather talk plot twists and page turners, BNE Chapters is Brisbane’s community book club. You’ll get together with other literary lovers to share thoughts over coffee, wine or a picnic in the park. Books and new friends? Sign us up.
For the brunch and bubbles crew
@galswholunchevents
If your idea of bonding is over a cheeky mimosa and good feed, Gals Who Lunch Events is your new bestie. They host food and drink experiences that take you to Brisbane’s best spots. Long lunches, cocktail nights and fun themed dinners. Come for the food, stay for the new friendships.
For the Pilates girls
@pil.lattes_club
Who says Pilates can’t be social? This club hosts community classes in New Farm Park. Bring your mat, meet some new faces and maybe grab a coffee after your final stretch.
For the nature girls
@Shetreks.bne
Get your boots dirty and your heart full. SheTreks is a women only hiking community that’s all about hitting the trails with a supportive crew of like minded adventurers. They’ve got a mix of hikes for beginners and seasoned trekkers alike so you don’t have to wander the bush alone.
