About us
Hello and Welcome to 20 and 30 Somethings Meetup!
We’re excited to have you join our vibrant community here in Chicago! Whether you’re new to the city, looking to make new friends, or just want to be more active, you’ve come to the right place.
Our group is all about getting together and having fun. We organize a wide variety of events throughout the year, from exploring the city's hidden gems, catching the latest shows, grabbing drinks at the coolest spots, and meeting new people. Chicago has so much to offer, and we aim to experience it all together.
One of the highlights of our group is our “Simply Social” coed recreational intramural leagues. These leagues are perfect for those looking to stay active, have fun, and make new friends and connections. We offer a diverse range of league options that play on various days of the week, all over the city, and throughout the year. Whether you’re into 16" softball, kickball, volleyball, bowling, trivia, etc, there’s something for everyone.
We also host a variety of fun social events! And we’re always on the lookout for new organizers to bring fresh ideas and plan exciting activities. If you have an idea for a fun event – whether it’s a casual hangout, a group outing, a trip, or a show – don’t hesitate to reach out to the group Organizer Ben (that's me!). I’ll help you figure out how to make it happen, plan out the details or simply allow you to post it if it’s ready to go.
We believe in making the most of what Chicago has to offer and building a strong, supportive community of 20 and 30 somethings who love to have fun and stay active.
We can’t wait to see you at our next event!

North Ave Beach Friday 5-Week Coed Rec 6s Volleyball! We'll put you with others!
North Ave Beach, 1603 N Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL, USHey all! For the past 17 years, I've been running coed 6 vs 6 leagues on Friday nights where ALL SKILL LEVELS are welcome! They're all super fun and you can join by yourself or with friends! Plus after games for each league, all teams walk to the same bar to hang out and get exclusive specials (like some free beer).
If you want to hit the beach for social volleyball games while meeting new people, these leagues are perfect for you :)------------------------------
So what makes S3 Simply Social Sports Leagues so popular and unique?
S3 Leagues are way more than just leagues. First, I run the most welcoming and organized all-levels social league experience in the city. Full teams do register a lot, but you can also join as an individual or with friends and I'll put you on a team of others around your age (teams made for ages 21-42). This provides each player with a unique experience where meeting others and having post-game drinks with everyone is just as important as the games themselves.
Gotta miss a week or two? No problem! There are 5 guys and 5 girls on each free agent team because we know people can't make it every week.
SIGN UP to play by yourself or with friends and get placed on a coed team of others around your age for the season! It's just $55 per player or $485 per full team!
CHECK OUT THE FULL DETAILS AND REGISTER HERE
------------------------------
LEAGUE INCLUDES:- First game night Friday, August 21st
- 2 week regular season, final 2 weeks are playoff tournaments and ALL teams play both weeks! Teams divided up into multiple independent playoffs divisions based on rankings and all team play for prizes the final day!

$5 First Fridays Stand Up Comedy Shows at Chicago's best venue!
The World Famous Laugh Factory, 3175 North Broadway Street, Chicago, IL, USThe Laugh Factory in Lakeview (Broadway & Belmont) is open for comedy and we all could use some laughs! We always get A LOT of people to attend these shows. Often times over 100 Meetup members!
If you attend by yourself or with friends and want to be seated in the Meetup group section, simply request this when you check in at the ticket booth! Then just say hi to those around you :)
Every First Friday of the month we get $5 TICKETS to their shows at 7:00, 9:15 & 11:30 pm. They're ALWAYS hilarious!
--------------------------------
Get your $5 tickets ASAP before the quantity they give us get sells out. And with our "laugh or get a refund" policy (that has never in 4 years been requested), I know you'll enjoy your MUCH NEEDED night out! This event is posted in lots of different Meetup groups, so the RSVP # won't show how many are actually attending.
READ THE DESCRIPTION OF EACH SHOW AND GET YOUR $5 TIX HERE: https://tinyurl.com/firstfridayslaughfactory
*You can purchase tickets for several people and multiple shows this night through the link. No physical tickets will be issued. Your name will be on a list at the door and all tickets will be under the purchaser's name. Groups of up to 6 people can be sat together if arriving together.
Please Note: These shows are for ages 18+ w/ ID. If you show up after start time you will not be able to enter. There is a 2 drink minimum per person per show (non-alcoholic or alcoholic). Drinks are reasonably priced, and a comedy show is funnier with a few drinks, so this shouldn't be an issue with how cheap our tickets are :) Also, an 18% service fee (aka gratuity) will be applied to all drink tabs at payment to be given directly to service staff.
No refunds or exchanges but tickets can be transferred.
--------------------------------
Is there parking? Street parking and some garages are available throughout the area. However, public transit, ridesharing apps, and taxi services are highly encouraged.
What is the dress code? There is no dress code. Be comfortable!

Family Feud Trivia League - We'll put you on a team to play! 5 weeks only $35!
The River Kitchen and Bar, 2909 N Sheffield Ave, Chicago, IL, USWe all know Family Feud! The best game show ever, right!? I came up with an amazing way to play bar trivia like the Family Feud game show that anyone can play and be good at! You don't have to know lots of random facts to enjoy or win this trivia. I've done over 25 seasons of this too!
Check out the video I made showing how much fun it is: https://youtu.be/GcAlp9lR_QE
This league is a super fun way to meet new people, have some mid-week drinks and get your think on! It ALWAYS fills up with 140ish people playing, so the RSVP # will not reflect the actual size.
You can register online by yourself or with friends for only $35! We'll then put you on a coed team of 6 thinkers around your age for the season and email you a bunch of info to know for the season. Or sign up your own team of up to 6 people for just $170!
CHECK OUT THE FULL DETAILS AND REGISTER HERE: https://s3leagues.com/fall-leagues/wednesday-family-feud-trivia
----------------------------
LEAGUE DETAILS:
First Games: Wednesday, September 9th
Final Games: Wednesday, October 7th
Start/End Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: The River Kitchen & Bar (2909 N Sheffield Ave)HOW WE PLAY:
Each night there are 2 rounds of 5 questions. The trivia works in reverse of how traditional Family Feud scoring goes. Teams are given the survey question that people were asked and then you have to turn in only one answer. BUT you get the MOST points for guessing the lowest answer on the list (the one that only a couple people said) and LESS points for guessing the popular answers! So it's a battle between making sure your answer is on the on the list of answers given but as far on the bottom of that list as possible. It's THE BEST kind of trivia ever.We give out really awesome prizes too!! NIGHTLY PRIZES FOR THE TOP 8 TEAMS!!! PLUS INCREDIBLE OVERALL LEAGUE PRIZES!!!
----------------------------
League Fees: Only $35 per person for the entire 5-week season or $170 to register a full team of up to 6 people.
