Chicago has strong neighborhoods and a real going-out culture, from neighborhood bars to the Lakefront. HelloHere turns a night out among strangers into a real hello.
Why Chicago
Chicago has strong neighborhoods and a real going-out culture, from neighborhood bars to the Lakefront. HelloHere shows you who is here, in the same place as you, right now, with a live selfie and no swiping.
Neighborhoods on our shortlist
- Wicker Park and Bucktown: bars, coffee shops and live music.
- Logan Square: cocktail bars and a young crowd.
- West Loop: restaurants, rooftops and after-work spots.
- Lincoln Park: the park, the zoo and neighborhood bars.
These neighborhoods are ideas: joining the waitlist with yours helps us choose.
Parks and outdoor spots
The Lakefront Trail, Lincoln Park and The 606 are perfect for an outdoor check-in. HelloHere recognises the place on its own: one live selfie and you are visible for two hours.
For Chicago venues
For coffee shops, bars and rooftops, HelloHere is a simple way to bring people together. Drinks offered through the app are alcohol-free and paid at the counter. If you run a venue, add its name when you join.
