Welcome to the site of the Harvard Bridge Club.

About Us

The Harvard Bridge Club is a student-run organization at Harvard College. We have a small but growing membership and welcome players of all skill levels to join us.

Schedule

Every Thursday at 8pm we have a lesson and an informal duplicate bridge game in the Quincy Dining Hall. Feel free to stop by; we're always looking for newcomers! Also, you can join us on Tuesday nights at 8pm at Quincy Dining Hall for another, more casual game.
