What we’re about
This group is for ladies in their 30s (plus or minus a few years is ok, ~27-43) looking for authentic friendships with some really cool yet nerdy women. Some of us may be new to town, or maybe we're just realizing we need some more awesome, genuine friendships in our lives. You might be more inclined to enjoy some wine and a good book rather than go out. You might enjoy deep conversation over tea more than a night at a dance club. If this sounds like you, welcome to the Nerdy 30's!
We try new restaurants, play games, watch movies, craft together, check out the arts and entertainment, explore the Denver area, and much more. Our events seldom have more than 12 people present, because small groups make for better conversations and connections. If you would like to host an event, please email an organizer! Let's make this fun and keep it interesting.
Events take place throughout the Denver metro area, including the surrounding towns of Aurora, Lakewood, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Littleton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Cherry Creek and more.
Your Hobbies/Interests may include: NPR, knitting, crocheting, quilting, tea and coffee, thoughtful, engaging conversations, learning, cooking, gardening, books, post-graduate studies, exploring nature...
You may describe yourself as: introverted, funny, cerebral, unique, intelligent, fun-loving, genuine...
You might like: movies, food, teahouses, art, book clubs, crafting, game or trivia nights, other cool/nerdy ladies...
Nerdy 30s Ladies of Denver is part of a large network of sister cities around the world!
Dues are $5/year after an extended trial period (max that meetup allows), this helps to cover meetup.com organizer costs, supplies for some events, and help manage the group membership list.
No-shows are rude to hosts, a total bummer, and will not be tolerated (i.e. more than 2 "no-shows" could result in removal from the group).
The only real "rule" is that you be accountable, for both your attendance and your dues. Show up to events you RSVP for, or give your host a (timely) heads-up that your plans have changed. "No-shows" (i.e. not showing up at an event you've RSVP'd "YES" to) create extra work for our hosts, limit others from potentially participating in events, and are a disappointment to those who have spent their time and energy planning these events. So, please be courteous, keep your RSVP's updated, and everyone is happy!

See all- Puzzled Pint - Game ShowsLong Table Brewhouse, Denver, CO
This event is cross-listed with Nerdy 40s.
Puzzled Pint is a casual, social puzzle solving event which happens at bars/pubs on the second Tuesday of every month, in cities around the world (https://puzzledpint.org).
These are puzzles that involve clues and deductions, not building puzzles. I think it is equally satisfying!Location: Long Table Brewhouse (2895 Fairfax St., Denver, CO 80207).
On the night of the event, show up at the pub/brewery. The event starts at 6:30, but it is a good idea to leave time to grab drinks first and catch up for a minute. “Game Control” will be on hand to give hints and verify answers. It is a free event, with the loose expectation that you purchase something from our host venue. The organizers do accept donations to help cover their printing costs.Please keep your RSVP current - I have to let the organizers know how many will attend 24 hours in advance. RSVPs close the day before the event at 2pm. See you there!
- Board Game AfternoonDenver TBA, Denver, CO
Join us for an afternoon of board games and food/drink - I'm bringing a few relatively quick fun, and beginner-friendly strategy games that usually play 30-40 minutes a piece max, listed below, but you can feel free to bring your own!
Any suggestions for a location that's worth camping out at for 2-3 hours (and will have the availability on a Saturday afternoon) are welcome! I'm thinking a food hall, but haven't pinned it down.
We’re Doomed: can you and up to 10 other world governments cooperate long enough to build a rocket and escape the planet? you have 15 minutes to find out, but random events could upend things.
