5 Popular San Antonio Meetups You Should Try

As every resident of San Antonio knows, there’s no shortage of fun things to do, places to go, or things to see in this city. It’s the 7^th largest city in the United States, and if you can’t find something that piques your interest here, it would be hard to find it anywhere! That being said, even if you have a huge list of things you want to do here, it’s just not as much fun when you aren’t experiencing them with friends. And if you’re new to this big city, finding friends to do all these activities with can seem a bit daunting. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, however, there are several ways you can remedy this. Our favorite is Meetup.com.

Meetup.com is a website where users can search for different groups and clubs in their area that share the same interests as them. They can check out upcoming events and “meetups” for these groups, and get connected with people who are into the same thing. It’s a great way to try new things, meet new people, and just get out and explore the city. In fact, to help give you an idea of some of the groups that are out there, here are 5 of the most popular Meetups in San Antonio:

1. R-U-N (Are You In?)

Do you love running, but aren’t looking for any competitive pressure? Whatever your goals, whatever your running ability, you’ll surely find a home with R-U-N. They claim to be the friendliest Meetup group in Texas and offer the most comprehensive running and outdoor sports schedule anywhere, so check out one of their next runs if you’re looking to get out, get active, and meet some new running partners.

2. 20s, 30s, and New in Town

3. San Antonio Beer Club

Are you a craft beer connoisseur? Do you like cold beer and good conversation – sometimes about cold beer? Then the San Antonio Beer Club is the group for you.

4. Texas Pack & Paddle

If you’re passionate about kayaking and canoeing, or you simply want to try it out, the Texas Pack & Paddlers is certainly worth a look.
