Chicago's friendship community
Let's Be Friends is Chicago's in-person community for people in their 20s and 30s. We run around 15 events a month — wine tastings, Chicago Fire and Bulls games, film screenings, and easygoing socials. Most people come on their own. Come as you are.
What we are
A fresh lineup across Chicago — wine tastings, Chicago Fire & Bulls games, film screenings, dinners and easygoing socials. Something most weeks.
Most people show up solo — that's the whole point. An easy, welcoming room full of people in their 20s and 30s, all here to meet someone new.
Plenty of free hangs to drop into, plus special curated nights and screenings worth grabbing a ticket for. Pick whatever fits your week.

Reach an engaged 20s–30s Chicago crowd — let's talk.
Brands & businesses: if you want to collaborate, reach out — we'd love to build something.
New
Our newest offering goes a layer deeper than the events. Take a short survey and we hand-build a small group of 4–6 compatible people who meet up several times — with all the planning done for you. A more intimate way to turn a city full of events into a real friend group.
