Girlfriends

Join us for a casual drinks and dinner night at Brick Lane Market—the perfect way to ease into the weekend and connect with other incredible women after a big week at work. Whether you're new to Melbourne, looking to expand your circle, or simply after a relaxed night out, this is a welcoming, no-pressure space designed just for you. And to make the night even better, Brick Lane Market is offering their Friday Night Special — a $22 Schnitzel—so come hungry and ready to unwind. At its core, Girls Who Boss is built on a simple and well-supported idea: when women have access to strong, intentional support networks, they are better positioned to thrive—professionally, creatively, and personally. Whether you're building a business, chasing your career dreams, navigating a new chapter, or simply craving genuine connection, this is the space for you. Friday nights are for letting go of the week, laughing over good food, and finding your people, and that's exactly what this night is all about. No agenda, no pressure, just an inclusive and lively atmosphere where real friendships are made. Come as you are, bring a friend or come solo, and settle in for a night of great conversation, great food, and the kind of warm, easy company that leaves you feeling full in every sense of the word.
