New Lakeview Board Game Cafe/Bar to Feature 300 Titles - Eater Chicago
"Bonus Round Game Cafe, co-owned by Drew Lovell and Courtney Hartley, is preparing to open in Lakeview. The cafe will serve coffee, food, beer, and wine, providing a space for board game enthusiasts to gather and play games such as Settlers of Catan and Raiders of the North Sea. The 1,700-square-foot space at 3230 N. Clark Street will accommodate 50 to 55 people. The focus is on new and potential board gamers, with staff ready to assist customers in learning games from a library of 300 titles. The menu includes coffee, espresso, finger foods, and sandwiches, avoiding messy items to protect the games. Beer and wine are available but not the main focus. The cafe is more communal and may not suit games requiring privacy like Dungeons & Dragons. The location is near Clark and Belmont, close to Chicago Comics." - Ashok Selvam
