About this Event

Looking to meet new people and get more involved in the Rogers Park community?

Rogers Park Neighbors United hosts recurring neighborhood happy hour and networking events that bring together locals from Rogers Park and nearby north side neighborhoods including Edgewater, Andersonville, West Ridge, Uptown, and the Loyola area.

These casual meetups are perfect for people who live, work, or spend time in Rogers Park, whether you're a longtime resident, young professional, entrepreneur, remote worker, creative, or simply someone looking to connect with more people in the neighborhood.

Each month we gather at a different local bar, brewery, restaurant, or neighborhood hangout to support local businesses, meet new faces, and strengthen community connections in a relaxed and welcoming setting. From neighborhood pubs along Clark Street to spots near Morse, Devon, and Loyola, every event is designed to showcase the energy and character that make Rogers Park one of Chicago’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

This month’s event will be hosted at Ward Eight, a neighborhood cocktail bar and gathering spot located right on the Rogers Park and Evanston border. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, craft cocktails, and elevated comfort food, Ward Eight has become a favorite local hangout for everything from casual weeknight drinks to community meetups and conversations.
