Where to go out in Chicago
Buddilio is opening up Chicago, United States. Members here meet over dinners, gigs, sport and weekend trips — browse what's already on, or host the first one yourself and we'll put it in front of everyone nearby.
The old centre
Start here — the walkable core where most bars, cafés and live rooms sit within a few streets.
The waterfront or park side
Sunset drinks, weekend markets and easy first-meet spots out in the open.
The dining strip
Where the city eats late: chef-led kitchens, supper clubs and long-table dinners.
The nightlife quarter
Clubs, comedy basements and gig venues that run past midnight on weekends.
When to go out
Thursday to Sunday evenings draw the biggest crowds; weekday meetups stay small and easy.

Local tip
Always meet in a public venue for a first hangout, and tell a friend where you're going.
