Nice gaming bar. Drinks were super strong. Staff is friendly and kind. It's has a nice atmosphere. That being said, some of the machines were not working properly or at all and there were no signs saying that. Maybe they should check them and maintain them more often and better. But it's a nice place to hang out, meet people and have fun.

This was my first time & I had a blast! If you're playing games be prepared to sweat! Make sure you bring cash (or a debit card for the ATM). You must swap cash for tokens for the games. There are some single token games, but most are two token. If a machine eats your tokens the bartender has replacement tokens. Bar staff is friendly, there's no food (unless you're hosting an event). Drinks are moderately priced. It's a fun second or third date spot. It's a little loud, so you can't hold a full first date style conversation.

Very much enjoyed the arcade games at Emporium. It's a nice big space and didn't take too long of a wait to get to things like skeeball and air hockey (this was a Wednesday night though).

We were respectful customers all night and were enjoying the games provided. An employee acting as a bouncer spoke aggressively towards us and shooed us away from the establishment after another couple was trying to instigate a fight with us and we ignored them. Meanwhile he maintained friendliness with the couple and let them continue their e evening.

Cool enough. A decent amount of the games were broken or seem to be on the verge of breaking. Beers were decently priced and had a nice variety of options.

Not for folks my age or the faint hearted. But I enjoyed watching a younger crowd. And every young adult I asked in my neighborhood seems to go there once a week.

My business partner and I headed over to Emporium after an extremely tough work week. I am not traditionally big on going out. Nevertheless, Emporium provides the perfect space to relax and unwind, coupled with an opportunity to socialize. They also have some of the best classic games to test your wits and age. All of this is a space equipped with a bar to help you temporarily forget your troubles—the perfect space to hang out on a chill weekend out.

Fun place, great vibes and ambiance. The games are nostalgic as well. Service is good too.

Fantastic Barcade with so many games to choose from. My favorite is the little hockey table by the bathroom. Great drink selection too. Bring cash for tokens for the games!

Not the best drinks (they are expensive) but its fine for a beer and spend some time playing in the arcade

For what it is, it's great! Sure the floors are stickier than I'd like, but games are a good selection, nothing is over priced, it's not super loud and you can bring in food 👍🏼

Great selection of games, speedy service (especially for a Saturday night) and good drinks. Make sure you bring cash for tokens (1 token = $0.25). There's also an ATM on site if you don't mind the additional fees.

I went here by way of an after work social. They have pool tables, pinball and video games. I would recommend it for good interactive fun.

Awesome so much fun. Pool table air hockey and so many different arcade games. Drinks were ok . Street meter parking. Staff was friendly. This location is not as big as the Logan Square location but still a good time

Very fun vibe. The cocktails were good and they had a great beer/seltzer selection. I kind of wish there had been a bigger variety of games, but for an hour or two the games they had were fun.

It's an ok place to come with a group of friends they have some good drinks, I expected the place to be much bigger I went on a Friday night super crowded not many seats if you wanted to just get a table drink and watch a game. A lot of the arcade game also need to be updated with better joysticks. My opinion if this was a two floor spot definitely would be my go to place to hang out all the time.

We drove in from out of town for a wedding reception. Little did I know it would be held at an arcade/bar. While a fun day catching up with family new and old, I couldn't get over how well this place appealed to all age groups! Grandparent, aunts and uncles and all the way down to the teens were having a great time. The staff was great and knowledgeable (especially helping folks unfamiliar with craft beer). Will certainly go back on our next visit.

Lots of cool old school games! Spent a ton of time on air hockey, drinks were reasonably priced. The had some of the classics, Pac-Man, mortal kombat and my fave X-men! They didn’t have Simpsons and Ninja turtles was broken.

Great place to grab a drink & play some arcade games. They have an entire wall of pinball machines, pool tables, & more tabletop games as well as the classic like Galaga, and fighting games. Games aren’t super expensive which is awesome. The nice thing is that this location is pretty big so there’s plenty of space where people aren’t on top of each other. Perfect for group outings Street/paid parking all around the area Plenty of restaurants nearby as well Only reason I wouldn’t give it 5 stars is because too many games/machines weren’t working

Fun place, but that are missing one of the best games! They don't have arcade basketball. 4/5 stars since they don't have basketball. Please look into adding basketball. The drinks are decent and the bartenders and staff are very friendly. Also the arcade games are not too expensive. It's fair priced.
