"This game cafe is maintaining COVID-19 safety protocols — from mask requirements to vaccine-card checks or negative-test requests — even though Chicago lifted its indoor mandate on Feb. 28. Policies differ and may change, so guests should check the cafe’s current rules before visiting." - Naomi Waxman
"I noted that Bonus Round Game Cafe is included among establishments implementing vaccine requirements." - Naomi Waxman
"This Lakeview game-focused cafe reopened for indoor service with board games, cocktails, coffee, and sandwiches and strongly recommends reservations via Tock." - Naomi Waxman
"A Lakeview board-game café describes the same pandemic-driven pivot away from extended in-person gaming toward takeout, retail game sales and virtual programming; proprietors report tightened finances and a sense of community loss as longtime patrons stop lingering to play and instead purchase games for at-home use." - Naomi Waxman
"In Lakeview, Bonus Round Game Cafe operates with a full waitstaff and even uses silverware, making it one of Chicago's existing full-service gaming cafes." - Naomi Waxman
