Every queer app promises community and delivers a grid of strangers. QLUB is built the other way around: real places, real events, and real groups near you — and no ads in the way.
FIND WHAT'S ACTUALLY AROUND YOU
Open the map and see what's there: queer bars and clubs, community orgs, clinics, bookstores and queer-owned businesses — plus events, groups and spontaneous hangouts. Filter by category, search by name, save your favourites. Everything is ordered by how close it is and what's happening soonest.
RSVP AND SEE WHO'S GOING
Tap once to RSVP to an event or a hangout. See who else is coming, message everyone in one place, and find it all again under My Calendar. Hosting? You get invitations, a guest list, and a share link that opens even for friends who don't have the app yet.
HANGOUTS: SPONTANEOUS PLANS, NO PRESSURE
Post a Hangout when you want company right now — coffee in an hour, a walk, a last-minute ticket going spare. Anyone nearby can join. It's the easiest way to turn "we should hang out sometime" into tonight.
GROUPS FOR YOUR PEOPLE
Join Groups built around what you're into: queer climbers, trans book club, sober social, new in town. Open, approval-only or invite-only. Every group gets its own chat, its own events, and a members list that isn't a leaderboard.
MESSAGING THAT RESPECTS YOU
Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted. Group and event chats keep plans in one place. Message requests stay out of your inbox until you accept them, and you can block or report from any profile.
PRIVACY THAT COSTS NOTHING
Set your profile to private, turn location sharing off, or hide your distance from other people. Every one of these controls is free — nobody should have to pay to stay hidden.
THE DIRECTORY
More than 3,500 researched LGBTQ+ listings and 400+ community Spots across all 50 US states, DC and Canada — bars, clinics, shops, nonprofits, community centres. Every entry is checked against a strict bar: queer-owned or genuinely community-centred, not just "everyone welcome". Support the places that support us.
DAILY DIGEST
One clean daily read: LGBTQ+ news and community stories, chosen by editors instead of served by an engagement algorithm. No doomscroll, no rage bait.
PRIDE + FESTIVALS
Pride dates, events and local resources, kept current year-round rather than for two weeks in June — plus the queer festivals worth planning a trip around.
TRAVEL GUIDES
LGBTQ+ city guides for 50+ destinations: where to go, what's worth your time, and the local laws and norms you should know before you land. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City, Berlin, Bangkok, Cape Town and dozens more.
HEALTH
Plain-language guides to sexual health, gender-affirming care, mental health and insurance — plus crisis hotlines you can reach in two taps.
MODERATION YOU CAN SEE
Photos and public text are screened automatically before they go live, and reports are reviewed by a person. You can report any listing, event, post or profile from the page you're already on.
AD-FREE
No ads. No selling your data. No paying to be seen. QLUB is free to use — the whole map, every event, every group, every guide.
