What we’re about
Welcome to Curated Social Meetups Chicago!
This group is for anyone in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who wants to build real friendships in Chicago through small, in-person meetups—like brunches, coffee chats, and dinners—in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
Whether you're new to the city or just looking to meet people outside your usual social circle, our goal is to create space for genuine connection in one of the most vibrant cities in the U.S.
We use Groupvibe to help match people with similar interests and coordinate each meetup. The aim is to make socializing easier and more intentional, especially for people who want a better way to form friendships beyond large or impersonal events.
How it works:
We host curated gatherings of 4–6 people throughout Chicago—from cozy coffee shops in Wicker Park to casual dinners in Lincoln Park. You’ll be matched with others based on age, interests, and availability. It’s about building real community, not just attending events. Many members stay in touch after their first meetup.
Group affiliation:
This group is organized by the team behind Groupvibe, a platform designed to help people connect offline. While we use Groupvibe to organize and match members for each event, this Meetup group exists solely to foster community. We’re transparent about our affiliation, and the focus here is on helping people form lasting, local friendships—not promoting a product or service.
Who should join?
Anyone in Chicago (ages 25–45) looking for more meaningful social experiences, especially if you enjoy smaller, more intentional gatherings over coffee or food.
Let’s make Chicago feel a little smaller, one meetup at a time.
