I’m old now so I can only share about what I learned about when I moved to the city and what I have heard.

  1. Sports clubs: there are a lot of transplants in Baltimore and this seems to be the best place to start (all types and all skill levels)

  2. Classes: If you’re into art there are a lot of options, especially with the good collection of schools and MICA

  3. Volunteer: A previous poster mentioned BARCS, which is an amazing org. As a city with a lot of challenges there are a lot of opportunities to volunteer across Baltimore.

  4. Meetup: Several people I know mentioned meetup pre pandemic, I’m too old to know if that’s still a thing.

  5. Breweries: I love Baltimore’s row house bars, but they can have less turnover. Several breweries like Peabody, checkerspot, union, full tilt, ministry of brewing, guilford hall and others have bigger spaces with lots of folks.

  6. Running and cycling: Charm city run hosts group runs and Baltimore Bike Party is a great way to see the city with drinks afterwards

  7. Neighborhood Events: Baltimore is like a European city with lots of small neighborhoods. Get on the fb groups (I know, fb) for your neighborhood and surrounding ones, you’ll see a lot of events.
