What we’re about
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!
