The Cleveland Bears is a social group for adult gay “bears” (furry and/or bearded men) and their adult male admirers. The group was formed in 1995 to provide opportunities for social interaction among the members of the bear community of Northeastern Ohio and surrounding areas.
Our functions include activities such as pot luck dinners, picnics, amusement park outings, movie nights, and more. Membership in the club is open to adult men. Joining is as simple as attending one of our public functions. (We are a very laid back group.) Come meet people, make friends, and have fun! There are no dues. Our post office box, mailings, and other expenses are paid for by member's good-will donations.

The Cleveland Bears monthly dinner meeting is the first Thursday of each month (excluding holidays) at My Friends restaurant, on Detroit Ave. near W.117th. It’s an excellent opportunity for new people to meet us, and get to know us, in a safe public setting. Just show up and introduce yourself; don't be shy! Arrive about 6:30 p.m. for good food and conversation.

Updates and additions to come.
