Concerts are better with a friend, and they’re even better when you leave with a new one. 💛

We’re giving away a pair of tickets to see Mt. Joy this Saturday, October 3rd. Bring a friend, or bring someone you’ve been meaning to hang out with more. Singing along to the same songs in a crowd is one of the easiest ways to connect, so who knows, you might make a few more friends before the encore.

No plans on the calendar this Friday? Say less. Come grab a drink and make some new friends the easy, chill way, no plans required, just good vibes🍹✨

You don’t need a friend group already lined up to have fun here. Everyone’s showing up solo and ready to chat, so there’s zero pressure and zero awkward “who do I stand with” energy. Think good drinks, easy conversation, and a room full of people who also decided last minute that staying in wasn’t the move.

CLICK THE 🔗 IN OUR BIO TO SIGN-UP 🥂

New to the city, looking to expand your circle, or just tired of another night on the couch? This is your Friday plan. Come as you are, leave with some new friends (and maybe some new plans for next weekend too)

Summer may technically be ending soon, but it doesn’t feel like it! 🌞

September in Chicago is doing that thing where everyone suddenly has main character energy again. New routines, new plans, new people to meet before the cold makes us all hibernate.

We put together a full calendar of ways to get out and actually make plans worth looking forward to, no more “what are we even doing this weekend” texts on repeat.

Show up, meet people, make friends. It’s really that simple.

Comment “SEPTEMBER” and we’ll DM you the full lineup!

9.8 - Sign-up coming 9.7
9.11 - NEW DATE - Sign-up live now
9.16 - Happy Hour *DATE CHANGE*
9.25 - Sign-up coming soon

Mark your calendars, it’s back on! Our outdoor pilates class outing is FINALLY happening tomorrow after air quality issues threw a wrench in our July plans.

Mother Nature owes us this one, and she’s delivering: clear skies, perfect temps, water views for days.
This is one of the last outdoor sessions before summer wraps, so don’t sleep on it. ☀️

Grab your mat, bring a friend (or make a new one), and let’s get moving.

Bring: a mat (or towel), water, and yourself 💦

Comment PILATES and we’ll send you the 🔗 to RSVP or click the 🔗 in our bio to do so! See you out on the lakefront 🌊 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @letsbefriendschi

✨5 SPOTS LEFT✨ Tired of missing boat days just because you don’t have anyone to go with? Not a problem anymore! 🛥️☀️

Picture it: cruising Lake Michigan on a private yacht, sun on your face, surrounded by people who are just as excited to be there as you are. Spots are limited, so it feels like hanging out with actual friends instead of a big chaotic boat party. Come soak up the sun (or the sunset) and make new friends while you’re at it. 🌅

Both come with swimming, good music, amazing views, and a boat full of new friends. It’s a fun one to check off your bucket list, and a great way to meet people you can already plan next summer’s boat day with. Summer’s almost over, so this is your chance to get on the water before it’s gone!

Click the 🔗 in our bio for more details and to sign up or comment “BOAT” and we’ll send you both sign-ups! See you on the water!

We’re teaming up with @focusfeatures again for another round of speed friending, and this time it’s all about Finding Emily, in theaters August 28.

It’s a rom-com about a lovesick musician who’s been chasing the right connection for way too long. Sound familiar? Finding friends you actually click with isn’t easy, especially these days, and sometimes it takes putting yourself out there in a room full of strangers to find them.

If you’ve been looking for a fun way to find your people, this is it!

Here’s what’s on deck: bingo style speed friending to meet a room full of new people fast, themed cocktails, and giveaways inspired by the movie. And yes, there might be a shot at seeing Finding Emily before it hits theaters. You’ll have to show up to find out!
