Carlye Jane

Hey y’all, I’m Carlye Jane, the heart and founder behind Social Club ATX.

This club was born out of love, curiosity, and a desire to share meaningful experiences with good people. I’ve called Austin home for over 20 years, watching it grow and change in so many ways. Through all the transformation, the thing I’ve loved most has always stayed the same: the people.

Austin has a magic about it. People come here with heart, with hope, and with an energy that’s contagious. I’ve made incredible friendships and connections along the way, but I’ve also noticed something more and more: so many of us are craving deeper connection.

We live on our phones, we’re busy, and in a city like Austin where so much is always happening, it can feel hard to slow down and genuinely connect. That’s why I created Social Club ATX, a space where people can share new experiences, build real friendships, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.

Whether you’re new to town or just ready to shake things up and meet some like-minded folks, this club is for you. Let’s explore the best of Austin, support each other, and make some memories. I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

  • Why Social Club ATX

    “After the past 4 years, I realized the many of the old connections and hobbies in my life just weren’t resonating anymore. I’m focused on building a more authentic version of myself — saying yes to new experiences, getting comfortable with the uncomfortable, and meeting people who bring fresh energy and joy.”

  • Why Social Club ATX

    “A few years ago, life nudged me to slow down and reevaluate what really mattered. In that pause, I realized how much I craved deeper connection — with others, with my city, and with myself.

    I also saw how rare it is to find spaces in Austin that truly invite both fun and meaning, especially as we get older.

    So I decided to create what I was missing; a place to laugh, connect, and feel like you belong. Social Club ATX is for anyone ready to say yes to joy, friendship, and community again.”

Born and raised in Austin (which basically makes me a unicorn 🦄), I bring the behind-the-scenes magic to Social Club ATX through planning, and a whole lot of creative energy.

While I’ll never turn down a good patio cocktail, these days you’ll more likely find me in my “millennial-grandma era”, curating events that lean into connection, creativity, and wellness. Think calligraphy and pottery classes, walks along Town Lake, run clubs, SUP mornings, wine tastings, and cozy book clubs.

For me, it’s all about creating spaces where people can slow down, be themselves, and build the kind of friendships that truly last. At Social Club ATX, I’m here to help make sure every event not only runs smoothly but feels like a breath of fresh air.
