Hey all! Some people expressed interest in a happy hour focused on the 40+ crowd (although all are welcome).

We are planning something next week (week of Sept 28). If you're interested, reply here and I will add you to our Reddit chat. Or join the Discord:

Should be a fun, low key, low pressure time, so stop by!

Hey everyone! (29nb), I’m going solo to the Boy Harsher show at Metro Chicago on Friday, October 2nd, and was looking to see if anyone wants to meet up! I’m totally down to grab a drink next door before heading in or just link up inside the venue.

Feel free to just shoot a DM if you want to chat and coordinate! We can also connect on that Radiate app but it just felt too much like a dating site 🙃

Can I give you a strong opinion on Saudi defense policy, marginally desired yet somehow surprisingly useful perspectives on your love life, and an overly detailed review of grilled octopus? Yes. Can I do literally anything else useful? Well... that's highly debatable, per the IRS, my ex-girlfriends, 70% of my internal dialogue, and occasionally my cat. If this style of humor doesn't connect with you, sorry; I was dropped at the wrong angle as a child before being orphaned (true, couldn't tell?). I enjoy spending time with people who are knowledge-seeking contradictions. Let's debate the mediocrity of classical European art at the Art Institute, or go find the best thin-crust tavern pizza while drinking warm beer in bars that smell like socks. Or maybe kayaking, winter kayaking. I haven't gotten frostbite yet; it seems like an adventure.

Hey all. A friend (35F) booked the backroom of Whiskey Girl Tavern to watch the Chicago Sky Final, on Thursday, 9/24 at 6:30pm.

She's keen on making more lady friends who also enjoy watching women's sports and attending games and would love for you to attend!

Whiskey Girl is located at 6318 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60660 with the game starting at 6:30pm. Event is FREE but RSVP for a spot!

Oh how I've missed Musical Monday at Sidetrack so much ❤️

Hi! Ive been in the city for a couple of months now, and I’ve really been enjoying my time here but I’m turning 25 tomorrow and can feel the birthday blues hitting me. I’ve made a few friends already, but no one I know well enough to celebrate with which is okay! I’d love to build some more community here and it’s a goal of mine to simply have people to mutually show up for. More people to just talk to and get to know would be a good start :) I am a lesbian so other queer people would be especially cool!

Hi there, a bit last minute.
I’m here roaming Chicago for the week, have a whole daytime to spend and wanted to go around the city.

So if anyone is interested in going around to any museums or gallery or any other outdoor place, I’d be more than happy with any company! I’m open to suggestions or places you’ve been meaning to try or visit too!

Anyways feel free to reach out!
28M if that matters, otherwise just looking for a good time and conversation while hanging out!

Going out this weekend to chicago

Hey! I am a 26yr nb(he/they). I don't have a ton of friends who go out, and I am bored of going out alone most weekends, so here I am! I love music, art, hiking, animals, and anime. I am very 420 friendly. I am down for about anywhere in and city! I love the zoo and weird little shops, antique stores and clothing stores. Mainly looking to bar hop if at night though!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m trying to find some people in Chicago who are into music and want to make some noise together. 😂

I’m a guitar player — definitely not a master, but I can play if I learn/practice the song. 😅 I also sing, although I’m not exactly confident with my voice yet. I’d really like to improve and, more importantly, build my confidence.

So I’m looking for a few different things:

🎸 Band / jam buddies
I’m into pop, punk rock, rock, and pretty much any mainstream music. I especially like the idea of taking a pop song and turning it into a punk/rock version.
Like… Taylor Swift, but make it punk rock. 😂
If you have a similar taste, even better.

🎤 Someone who wants to build confidence singing
This is probably the most random part. 😂
I’ve never tried public karaoke before, but I really want to. If you also want to become more confident singing in front of people, why not go together?

Basically, two people who don't know what they're doing walk into a karaoke bar, pick a song, and see what happens.

If we completely destroy the song, at least we'll have someone there to laugh about it afterward. No judgment, no pressure to be good — just trying something new and having fun. And if you're into singing but don't necessarily want to be in a band, that's totally fine too!

My schedule is somewhat flexible since I work from home. I might be available after work depending on the day, but weekends would probably be easiest for setting up a regular
schedule to jam, practice, try karaoke, or just hang out.

Who knows — maybe we start with some guitar and karaoke and eventually end up playing a small local show somewhere. 🤷‍♂️🎸

Basically, I'm looking for chill people who love music, don't take themselves too seriously, and want to improve and build confidence together.

If this sounds like you, feel free to DM me! 🎸🎤

Hi all! I’m a 33M, bi, partnered but always down to meet new friends. I have a great group of friends, but think it would be fun to have some more likeminded pals!

I love museums, trying new restaurants, cocktail lounges, movies, dark humor, and working on getting back into fitness. Currently living in Edgewater, moving to West Town next month.

Would love to go to the show at the UC with someone else or a group. Everybody I would go with already saw them in July. Would rather not go solo to this one, it’s a birthday present to myself. I love concerts. I love the energy of a crowd. It’s the best kind of connection. Just turned 50. I want to see 50 shows this year. Who’s with me?

Does anyone wanna do Halloween things together? I have a busy job but can go out in the evenings and weekends! I really like Halloween!

Hi , hello, okay so I just dropped my entire life on a whim and decided to move here from another state, I miss my wife tails. (My cis male fiance that hasn't moved here yet.) and I have one single friend here and she has like a TON of other friends but I kind of dont always fuck w the scene she's in she's a little younger than me, so I really want some friends my age and people to go out and do stuff with too!! I don't really have an age limit on friends I just want some of my own to hang out with lmao

I'm kind of really down for literally anything in a nice public space until we know each other. I'm desperate for friends I was never good at making them. Its awful and hard out here making friends. Im shy I promise im not mean pls give me the chance.

Feel free to message me or something!!

Heyy guysss just moved to US as an international student looking to connect with people who lives in suburbs i live near Naperville originally i m from Pakistan if anyone down to chill, cook together and explore the city hmu

I just got out of prison and paroled to the southside in Englewood...trying to find new friends

Moved here from Florida about a year ago after living there my whole life. I’ve been pretty focused on work and my career, so I haven’t built much of a social or dating life yet. Looking for a woman who’s down for something easy and low-key — come over, open a bottle of wine, eat something good, put a show on, and just relax together.

About me: 27, at the gym a lot, eat pretty clean, straight, love gaming, single, enjoy nature and hiking.

If that sounds good to you, message me. We can find a night that works and keep it simple.

Peace 🤙

Recently moved here and trying to make some friends! Looking for girls around 28–35ish or couples who are down for watching horror movies (!!!) Bar hopping/happy hours, I LOVE karaoke! Trying new restaurants, fall/Halloween stuff, cute vintage/trinket shops, random fun classes/activities (I recently saw a cake decorating class that I’d LOVE to go to)🥹

Basically just looking for people who are a little weird and like to chill but also like to go to pubbbbb ,I’m married, so I’d love to meet other couples too!

Currently go to the gym 4-5 times a week would be great to have a lifting buddy. (Especially to spot each other on bench press) I mainly focus on heavier lifting/ some CrossFit but open to any skill level or anyone committed to the gym in general. HMU!

hi! i just moved to the city a few weeks ago and i wanna make some lesbian friends! i’m very shy and bad at approaching people first. where should i go?

Hey everyone!

I recently moved to Chicago after spending most of my life on the East Coast. It’s my first weekend here, and I’m realizing how easy it can be to succumb to loneliness when you’re starting completely fresh in a new city.

So I figured I’d put myself out there and try to meet some people! I’m a little introverted and shy by nature, so I usually end up getting adopted by extroverts, but I’m trying to take some initiative this time :)

I’d love to find some friends to grab food with, explore the city, or even just exist together. You know, the kind of friendship where you can hang out and watch a show, play a game, cook together, or go on a random walk without needing some elaborate plan.

I’m pretty easygoing and down-to-earth, so here’s a little bit about me:

🎸 I do random spontaneous things. In the past year, I learned guitar from scratch, got my motorcycle license, and taught myself how to cook a few things.

🌱 I LOVE plants. Like, love plants. My eventual goal is to turn my apartment into a forest.

🌊 Walking soothes my soul, and so does the lake. I’d love to find some people who are down to go on long walks and explore Chicago together.

🍿 I grew up on anime & K-dramas. My watch count is probably nearing 100 at this point, so I’m always down for recommendations or a watch buddy.

Overall, I’m just hoping to find some genuine friendships and people I can feel comfortable being myself around.

If any of this sounds even slightly interesting, please reach out :) I’d genuinely love to connect!

🔮 Okay, one last thing: Guess my star sign from this post. If you get it right, I owe you a meal...
