Let’s face it, when you work full-time, it is hard to meet people and find new friends, especially when you are new in town and still don’t know too many people. Usually, you don’t want to go to bars and clubs by yourself. Naturally, you stay home and watch Netflix while simultaneously stalking your ex on social media. But should you?
One great way to meet new people with the same interest as you is to join social clubs. They organize interesting events for people just like you. They often have a very welcoming atmosphere and are very open to newcomers. Best of all, you don’t need to know or take anyone with you. Their job is to introduce you to other members. And yes, most of them are open to all ages and also open to both married and single people. So you have no excuse!
Here, we list our favorite social clubs all around the bay.
