We have lots of arcade bars in Chicago, too. I'm glad they exist, but sometimes you just want to play a game without having to interact with or smell drunk peop

  I see where you’re coming from, but compared to a space filled with children it’s better for me. The best arcade I’ve ever been to, and I’m biased, it’s marvelous Marvin’s museum of mechanical wonders in Farmington hills Michigan but the crowd (children) ruins it

  The biggest problem with the arcade bars in Chicago is that if you go more than a handful of times they become very boring if you go with the intent of playing games while drinking versus drinking while playing games. The games are almost all universally old and most are simply less fun as soon as the nostalgia wears off. Some are better than others but they all become old quick. Replay is the biggest offender of this, they spend thousands of dollars every few weeks to theme the bar but pretty much every game came out before 99 with tons being from the 80s. And they barely maintain them. Also the theme drinks are pretty much all the same and overpriced, just with a different name.
