"Culture, Cuisine, Cocktails, Coffee & Convos = Community"
This is a Chicago-Suburban meet-up group designed for people who enjoy the cinema, fine cuisine and more. Most evening events will consist of a movie, dinner, or a combination of both. Others may include a matinee followed by a film discussion afterwards at a local cafe. From time to time there will also be a foreign film, Indie or Classic movie scheduled, or even live theater.
We will have dining venues which will include diverse cuisines from around the world or around the block. In addition, other fun activities such as music venues, bowling, wine tastings, outdoor music fests/concerts, and more! Join us for ongoing dinner events like Porkapalooza, an exploration of area BBQ places; and BurgerTime, the same concept, but with Burgers. Check out the Pages section for where we've been and where we're going. Please let us know if there's some thing/some place you'd like to try, or if you'd like to host an event.
Please note: While all are welcome, consistent no-shows and those who use e-mail/Meetup to disparage other members will be removed from the group.

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

ONLINE FREE Saturday Night Trivia!
·OnlineOnlineJoin us for some Team Trivia on Ludio! We run the best Trivia nights ever :D
Ludio (https://ludio.gg) is a videoconferencing platform with games built directly into it.
Our Team Trivia features 5 categories - the players who show up will veto 2 of them, leaving 3 categories for the game. Teams get shuffled after each category so that you get to play with as many people as possible, and a winner (or multiple winners) are crowned after each round. The game takes about 45-60 minutes; after the Trivia is over, we keep playing other lighthearted games with whoever sticks around.
If you’re looking for a more traditional Bar Trivia where you come with a team/stick to the same team for the whole game, we do those once a month for our regulars. Join our Discord (https://discord.gg/baPBbgQgBH) and ask about Bar Trivia to learn more!
We advertise this event in multiple groups and many of our regulars don’t RSVP anymore. RSVPs are not indicative of how many people will show up - we get a consistent turnout of at least 15 people!
Requirements:
- You will need a computer or a tablet (no phones sorry)
- You need a Chromium-based browser on your computer (e.g. Google Chrome)
