About us
NewFriendsMKE has been bringing people together in the Milwaukee area for over 10 years. With more than 1,000 events hosted, our goal has always been simple: to create fun, welcoming opportunities for people to meet each other, make friends, and try new things.
We host a wide variety of events, including game nights, hiking, volleyball, meet-and-greets, festivals, and other social activities around the city.
All NewFriendsMKE events are free to attend. Whether you’re new to Milwaukee, looking to expand your social circle, or just want something fun to do, this group is a great place to connect with others in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Everyone is welcome. Come join us, try an event, and meet some new friends in MKE!

Game Night! (Meet, Drinks, Food in Reserved Room)
Red Rock Saloon, 1225 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI, USCome join NewFriendsMKE for a night of games, socializing, drinks, food, and more!
This is one of our most popular events and a great event for new people. Whether you’re brand new to the group or have been to several events before, this is a fun and easy way to meet people in a relaxed setting.
To help break the ice, we’ll have games like Giant Connect Four, Giant Jenga, Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Operation, and many more.
We will have our own reserved area on the entire second floor of Red Rock on Water St., along with our own bartender.
This event usually brings a great mix of regular NewFriendsMKE members and people attending for the first time.A few things to know:
- Red Rock has a great food menu if you want to order dinner or snacks.
- You do not have to arrive right at 7:00. We are usually there until around midnight.
- If you are new, it is completely okay to show up alone! We all had a first event at some point, and this group is full of welcoming people who are there for the same reason: to meet new people.
- I will have plenty of games, but feel free to bring one of your own to share.
- We will be easy to find. We have the upstairs area reserved. When you enter Red Rock, turn left and head upstairs.
This is a free event!
