Events

Join BrisBears at our Sunday Social, held on the first Sunday of every month at the Brunswick Hotel from 3pm. 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! Come along and join the bears 🐻 *The is a member-led event - Committee are not always present Event artwork by Murray @muzdoodles https://www.instagram.com/muzdoodles

Join Mr Bear Qld and the Bears on Friday 3 July 2026 for a big, bold and fabulous night of queer cabaret, all in support of our current Mr Bear Qld, Samson, and his fundraising for his chosen charity, Youth Housing Project.   Hosted by Mr Bear Qld himself, Samson, with the brilliant Paul Wheeler as MC and Galleon keeping the vibes going on the decks, this is set to be a night full of laughs, talent, cheek, camp and perhaps a little chaos.   We’ve got a packed lineup of incredible performers ready to hit the stage, including Maxi Bon, Rubenesque, Jacob, Cheri Bobbyns, Archie Arsenic, Boo, Lord Sev, Helen Wheels, Ursa Major, Teddy Bearback, Whisper and Felix.   Doors open from 6pm, with the first show kicking off at 7pm, so grab your friends, grab a drink, settle in and get ready for a night of bear-bar cabaret fun for a bloody good cause. There’ll also be raffles on the night, so bring along a little extra luck and help raise even more for this worthy charity.   Come for the performers, stay for the party, and help Samson raise funds for Youth Housing Project.  

🐻 JUNE DEN NIGHT 🐻 If it’s been a minute since you stepped into the bunker, consider this your nudge. Den Night is calling  Doors open from 9pm with that easy, familiar pub energy. No rush. No fuss. Come early, grab a drink, park yourself with your crew and let the night unfold. Feeling peckish? The kitchen’s open from 5:30pm upstairs, so make an evening of it before drifting down when you’re ready.   From 9pm, Jack Popper takes command of the decks, dialling up the sound and keeping the floor alive well into the night. No theme. No dress code. No cloak check. Just a proper, old-school Den Night.   Turn up as you are. Wear what you like. It’s about bears, mates, music, and that unmistakable feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be. Third Saturday of the month. Same bunker. Fresh chapter. 

This month, we’re seeing Leviticus at 5 Star Cinemas, New Farm - Thursday 18th June - 7:00 pm session.   If you’re keen, book your own ticket online and meet us there. No formal hosting, no reserved block — just a simple get-together at the movies.   Meet up at the Brunswick Hotel from 6pm, or meet us there. The invite is open to all, so please come along.   "Leviticus - Teenage boys Naim and Ryan strike up an unexpected connection. But when their bond draws the attention of their community, a ritual is performed on them, releasing a violent entity. An entity that takes the form of its victim's truest desire."

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.
