The
Gentlemen's Social
Club of Los Angeles
Welcome to Los Angeles's home for bearded men and the women who love them. We're an organization of hirsute fellows in LA who gather in support of beards, beers, and working with local charities to make LA a better place. Every day we do our part to keep LA bearded, and each fall we host Beard Battle: LA, southern California's biggest beard competition.
Our Mission
The Gentlemen's Social Club was founded in 2015 with a simple mission: to bring together bearded and moustachioed men in the LA area in an inclusive spirit of brotherhood. We explore cultural happenings in LA, bond over beers, and travel to facial hair competitions around the southwest. We also work with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to fight hunger in LA.
The Team
Our work wouldn't be possible without all of our amazing members, but our dedicated cabinet works hard to make sure things run smoothly.
