Winter might be hanging around, but we’re turning up the heat at Brisbears this August, with the official Rugger Bugger After Party!   Join us from 9:00pm for another fantastic Den Night as djmikeyb keeps the dance floor pumping with great tunes, good vibes and all your favourite beats.   We’re also excited to welcome the boys from the Brisbane Hustlers as they kick off their Bingham Cup competition week. Come along, give them a huge Brisbears send-off, wish them the very best of luck, and help show them just how much support they’ve got behind them before they head into the competition.   Whether you’re catching up with mates, meeting some new faces, or dancing until late, Den Night is the perfect way to spend your Saturday night.

🎡🐻 Ekka Bear is rolling into Sporties! 🐻🎡   The Brisbane Ekka is all about catching up with mates, great atmosphere, a little bit of nostalgia, and making memories… and that’s exactly the vibe we’re bringing.   Forget the crowds, the queues and the showbags—we’ve got the best part of Ekka waiting for you: a room full of friendly faces, great tunes, and an unbeatable community atmosphere.   🎧 DC Davide takes over the decks from 9:00pm, keeping the dancefloor moving from the moment the doors open. No raffles, no scheduled interruptions—just a full night of music, laughs, dancing, and good company.   Whether you’re coming straight from the Ekka or just looking for the perfect way to spend your Tuesday night, grab your mates and head to The Bunker. Pull up a seat, hit the dancefloor, or simply enjoy a drink and a chat with old and new friends alike.   Sometimes the best nights are the simplest ones.  See you at Ekka Bear! 🌾🍻🐻

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.

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.

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. 🐻
