Sportsball is back, bears! 🐻⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🥎🎾🏐🏉🐻   Some of you will need to dust off the sports gear… and some of you, let’s be honest, basically live your life in it. Get into your favourite kit and join us in the Bunker for a night of cheeky, sporty fun with beats by 🎵Luke La Beat🎧 keeping the dancefloor moving.   Dress code is any sports attire — footy shorts, rugby gear, wrestling singlets, basketball shorts, tennis whites, cricket kits, swinwear, gym wear, team colours, or anything that says “I came to play.” Shoes must be worn at all times — no barefoot ball games, boys. The cloakroom will be open, so there’s no excuse not to gear up and get amongst it.   Our members draw is back too! You must be a current financial member and present on the night to claim the cash prize. Bar service and tunes from 9pm.    See you on the field. 🐻

Dancing Bears is taking over the Bunker! 🐻🪩   This night is all about the dance floor — big beats, sweaty moves, lights and bears letting loose. With GALLEON serving up Non-Stop Music, you can hit the bar, grab a drink, catch your breath… then get straight back out there and keep dancing.  Whether you’re a full-blown dancefloor junkie, a cheeky hip-shaker, or just here for the vibes, this is your night to move.   Party from 9pm – 2am.

Ahoy, bears — we’ve got a very tasty little prize up for grabs. Our brothers at VicBears have kindly donated a double pass to this year’s Pirates Southern Hibearnation, and it could be yours. If you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to head south, get a little salty, and have a very good time, this is it. We’ll be raffling it off and drawing the lucky winners at our May Sunday Social on 3 May 2026, so make sure you get your tickets. It’s a cracking prize, and someone’s going to be feeling very pleased with themselves when their name gets called. Grab your raffle tickets, cross your paws, and you might just be off to Southern Hibearnation.

Brunswick Hotel

Join BrisBears at our Sunday Social, held on the first Sunday of every month at the Brunswick Hotel from 2pm. This is a very casual gathering, allowing people to come together, mix and mingle, and enjoy a chilled afternoon out in the bear garden. It’s always been an easy, turn-up-and-see-whose-there’s-there kind of afternoon, shaped by whoever shows up on the day, so the more the merrier. This is an inclusive event and is open to all bears, their admirers, and friends. First timer? Shout out on the event page to let everyone know, and we’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you!

Brisbane’s premier underwear party is back, and this one is all about keeping it simple in the best possible way. UnderBear strips away the extras and delivers exactly what you came for: a packed room full of bears, a bar flowing all night, and a dancefloor that won’t quit. Starting the night with DJ Les Smith before turning up the heat into the early hours with Sydney-based CHIP, expect wall-to-wall beats, plenty of energy, and the kind of atmosphere that only UnderBear can deliver. This isn’t the night for sitting in the corner pretending you’re “just here for one drink.” This is the night to get down to your best pair, hit the floor, and enjoy a party made for bears who know how to have a good time. Whether you’re there to dance, flirt, catch up with mates, or just enjoy the view, Under Bear is serving music, drinks, and a whole lot of fun from start to finish. And the best part? We’re not padding it out with extras. No draws. No raffles. No filler. Just Bears, Drinks and Music — exactly as it should be.
