"40-odd arcade games to provide the entertainment, two dozen rotating craft beers and over 50 whiskeys to provide the fuel." - Bright Bright Great
"There are three Emporiums in Chicago, and there’s so much going on at the one in Logan Square that drinking is just a distraction. Along with arcade games, they also have pinball, pool, air hockey, foosball, skeeball, and shuffleboard. Plus, there’s also a dancefloor, just in case you’re the kind of non-drinker who doesn’t need any liquid courage to ironically do the Sprinkler." - adrian kane
"You're never too old for video games, which is why we can't hate on Emporium. The minute you get sucked into classic pinball or Centipede you remember why it's all so addicting. Drink alcohol and play arcade game with your friends because that's what 10 year old you would have wanted the future to look like." - sam faye
"There are a lot of arcade bars in Chicago (including two other Emporiums), but if you’re looking for a place to wait out a blizzard, do it at the Logan Square location. In addition to arcade games, they also have pinball, pool, air hockey, bubble hockey, foosball, skeeball, and shuffleboard. There’s also a dance floor, so if the place is empty you can always just “dance like no one’s watching” (because they’re all trapped on Lakeshore Drive)." - josh barnett
"From Pacman to Mortal Kombat, there’s an arcade game at Emporium for everyone, including you when you’re trying to avoid your ex who you didn’t actually invite. And in case one of your goals for this brand new year of life is reducing your screen time, this Logan Square spot (which also has locations in Wicker Park and Fulton Market) also has pool, foosball, and air hockey. This place is always busy, but it’s spacious enough you won’t feel like you’re drinking in a CTA car during rush hour." - john ringor
