Disabling the admin bar doesn’t change any functionality of BuddyPress. If you have groups enabled, and your theme gives you a path to the create groups pages, then you can create groups. What you’re looking for is in the userbar.php and optionsbar.php files within the bp-sn-parent directory.

If you’re using a custom version of bp-default, click on your own profile, click on “Groups” and then “Create Group”

Do you have groups enabled? What error message(s) do you receive? What is stopping you exactly from creating a group?
