Elston Electric

This was my favorite spot on our Chicago trip. Drinks were good, prices for the games was fair. Everything worked well, but I did find that the pinball machine legs were tighter than I like.

this spot rules! great for groups of friends, dates, and families. the layout is awesome and you can tell lots of care went into every detail, from the trash - recycling - compost, to the bathroom considerations, to the jukebox. also has the most elevated and delicious jell-o shot i’ve ever had. staff is super nice. a must visit!

Great place for a date night. Especially after a concert nearby. The arcade has some amazing selections . And the bar has very unique Drinks I highly recommend the Storm Chaser. The staff is incredible and welcoming And Aubry the manager couldn't be more welcoming

Elston Electric is hands down the best way to kick off a night at the Salt Shed! Why stand in line when you can grab a drink, play some arcade games, and stroll right into the venue through their connected back door (with a minimum purchase)? The vibe here is on point--laid-back but buzzing with pre-show energy. The staff is awesome, and Matt, our bartender for most of the night, absolutely crushed it. Great cocktails, fun shots (including a wild one with a relish back), the coolest-looking Jell-O shots, and even solid pizza to keep everyone going. If you're heading to a show at the Salt Shed, do yourself a favor--start your night here and enjoy every minute from the first drink to the last encore.

Amazing times, great bar and even better staff! Always a blast and love this place!

Amazing arcade, great pinball options along with a very well maintained redemption arcade with some really interesting retro machines. The view from the bar is worth the trip alone.

What a better way to start your evening at the Salt Shed before an event by playing some games but most of all getting some drinks to start your night. Game selections were great but the bar selections were even better. Would definitely recommend stopping in here to start off your night or to end your night!

I just came here the other day. I believe it’s brand new. It was a lot of fun, something different to mix things up. Had a pretty interesting crowd there give the show that was taking place at Salt Shed next door. I will definitely be checking it out again! I believe some nights it is closed due to shows, so you should check out their social media before heading over.
