About us

For all business-related inquires, please send an email to [westtownsinglesandsocialsclub@gmail.com](mailto:westtownsinglesandsocialsclub@gmail.com). Please also note that demand for WTSC events is quite high at the moment, and it may take some time before we are able to schedule an event at your venue. Thanks for your patience!

All West Town Social Club events require direct RSVP at westtownsocialclub.eventbrite.com, unless otherwise noted. Event RSVPs on Meetup may not reflect the actual RSVPs for our events, as WTSC is an organization operating on multiple platforms--we are more than a Meetup group!

What West Town Social Club is about: Bringing people together and having a good time with various activities at venues in and around the West Town area! This group is for anyone looking to connect with others, whether you live in the West Town neighborhood, elsewhere in the city, or even out-of-town.

What we do: West Town Social Club puts on a wide range of events. We do meet and greets, arcade nights, traffic light parties, bar crawls, art crawls, holiday celebrations, sporting competitions, and more!

Where we go: Most events take place either in West Town or nearby neighborhoods. Venues we've been to include Innjoy Wicker Park, Desert Hawk Bar, Emporium Logan Square, Midwest Coast Brewing, Cobra Lounge/All Rise Brewing, Butch McGuire's, Standard Bar and Grill, Goose Island Brewing, Diversey River Bowl, North Ave Beach, Wicker Park (the park), Louie's Pub, Beauty Bar, Barcocina West Town, and more!

Who's behind WTSC: West Town Social Club was founded by Alan Vaughters in August 2022, of which Alan remains the organizer & sole proprietor. Alan was inspired to start WTSC in the aftermath of 3 events: 1) all of his friends living in and near West Town leaving the area within a four month period, 2) finding a shortage of social events (whether through Meetup or other platforms) in the area which left lasting impressions, and 3) the decision to end his teaching career and find something fun and exciting to do in his post-teaching life! Alan now wears multiple hats as a tutor, Taskrabbit Tasker, and event organizer. He is the person you will check-in with at all WTSC events (unless otherwise noted), and has yet to miss one!

    West Town Halloween Crawl!

    Please follow instructions in the event description, Refer to the event description, Chicago, IL, US

    PLEASE NOTE: To attend this fun outing, you MUST register in advance at halloween-crawl.eventbrite.com
    RSVP on Meetup does NOT reserve your spot, nor will the accurate headcount be reflected here!

    Come join West Town Social Club for a fun, guided crawl with fellow fun-seekers as we head to 4 great establishments in our best costumes! We'll trek from Damen/Chicago to Damen/Division, experiencing some of the best bars West Town has to offer.

    Includes one (1) shot to start things off!
    General age range is 20s-40s

    Please note that, unlike most so-called "bar crawls" being promoted in Chicago, this is a host-guided crawl. Host-guided crawls are the traditional form of bar crawls where everyone who signs up goes from one bar to the next as a group guided by a host, rather than leaving attendees on their own to try to figure out where to go, which place has which vibes, etc. Instead, our group is the vibe! WTSC's crawls are meant to be social experiences for people to meet new people, making new friends (even if just for the evening) while enjoying a night out on the town. Some people come by themselves and others with a friend or friends; hopefully, we'll all be friends with one another by the end of the night!

    As always, West Town Social Club all about bringing people together--whether you come with friends or by yourself, you'll be sure to make new connections!

    Costumes optional, but encouraged!

    Prices go up at the following points:

    • Early Bird: 5 weeks prior to the crawl (sales end 11:59pm 10/16)
