Electric Shuffle Gets an Opening Date in Downtown Chicago | Eater Chicago
"A 7,000-square-foot River North venue that retools classic shuffleboard with camera-tracked pucks and video screens across 11 high-tech tables, aiming to make the game a group-friendly social activity. The space holds about 250 people—half devoted to shuffleboard and half to a retro L-shaped bar and dining area that seats roughly 100–125—and is designed to engage larger groups (tables accommodate roughly 15 players) with 90-minute rentals for two to 20 people priced at $20 per person. The food program includes truffle parmesan fries, boneless wings, hot honey pepperoni pizza and vegan/vegetarian options, while cocktails feature items like the Spicy Lucy Margarita made with house-infused jalapeño tequila and citrus; weekend brunch packages (table rental, a bottle of prosecco and family-style snacks) are offered at $50 per person. Founded in London in 2015, this marks the operator’s fourth U.S. location (after Dallas, New York and Austin) and is pitched as a multigenerational, family- and group-friendly hangout—drawn to by crowds ranging from roughly 22 to 60 years old—and is scheduled to open on Friday, May 2 with reservations opening April 14." - Serena Maria Daniels
