Some of my best mates came from work. Didn't have any friends nearby after college so just started proposing hangouts. Many years later I've been best man in two of their weddings, we've followed each other to different companies, and my wife is good friends with their wives.

You do have to feel it out a little bit more than making a friend outside of work but it's not a bad way to go
