"While its name sounds like a dance move, Electric Shuffle is actually a high tech shuffle board bar in River North. To help fuel multiple games of sliding a disc around, they have small plates like steak skewers, truffle mac and cheese bites, and sliders." - john ringor, nick allen
"Perhaps you’d like to combine your weekday imbibing with some high-tech shuffleboard? At the Loop’s Electric Shuffle (from the same folks as nearby dart-focused Fight Club), happy hour 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday features $10 margaritas, espresso martinis, and house pizzas along with $5 beer, wine, seltzers, and fries." - Lisa Shames

"A high-tech, nostalgia-forward shuffleboard venue that blends a retro 1980s basement aesthetic—complete with vinyl, cassette tapes, boomboxes and green-and-pink accents—with modern lighting and technology. The 7,000-square-foot space (capacity ~250) centers on an illuminated L-shaped bar with cozy upholstered seating for roughly 100–125 and 11 sleek shuffleboard tables outfitted with video screens and camera vision technology that tracks puck movement and keeps score; each table has dedicated bar-stool seating and a wood bar surface for drinks and spectators. Groups of two to 20 can reserve 90-minute sessions for $20 per person via SevenRooms, with food-and-drink packages available and weekend brunch packages (table rental, a bottle of prosecco, and a family-style brunch spread) priced at $50 per person. The menu upgrades classic kickback fare with elevated pizzas (truffle and wild mushrooms, prosciutto-arugula, bacon jam), shareable plates like boneless wings and chile-glazed tempura cauliflower, sliders, and Milk Bar desserts such as a Shuffle Celebration cake available with a sparkler for $20 or $100 with a bottle of bubbly. Additional seating includes oblong high-tops and low-tops, and an outdoor patio with lush foliage and string lights provides a cozy summertime option. The venue is from the UK group that opened Flight Club in Chicago in 2018 and plans a Friday, May 2 opening with reservations now open." - Serena Maria Daniels
"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
