Meeting people in Brisbane, answered

How do I meet people in Brisbane?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Knock Off Fridays at The Wickham, Latin Friday Nights and Monday Open Mic at Archive Beer Boutique.

Can I go on my own?

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

I've just moved to Brisbane. Where do I start?

Choose "Staying a while" above: the weekly nights come first, because going back is how strangers become friends. New to Brisbane plans your first month, one week at a time.
