Decades of games, dozens of beers & 60+ whiskeys in a loft
"40-odd arcade games to provide the entertainment, two dozen rotating craft beers and over 50 whiskeys to provide the fuel." - Bright Bright Great
"Jam is one of Chicago's highest rated breakfast locations serving up contemporary, yet affordable nosh." - Bright Bright Great
"There are a ton of barcades in Chicago, but if you’re looking for the widest game selection, Emporium’s Logan Square location is your best bet. They have arcade games, pinball, pool, air hockey, bubble hockey, foosball, skee-ball, and shuffleboard. The only downside here is that you have to buy tokens to play the games. It might seem like a fun throwback to childhood at first, until you’re at a coffee shop the next day and find a pocketful of unused tokens that you’d much rather be able to spend on an espresso." - josh barnett, john ringor
"Sometimes you just want to be a kid again, but with a beer in your hand. Consider Emporium, a Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups. Retro arcade games fill the bar, along with foosball tables, a vintage truck, and vibrant murals. The sprawling space is one of the more popular spots in the neighborhood, thanks to its large canned beer list and the occasional appearance of a DJ in the back near the air hockey tables. If you’re looking for somewhere to bring a bunch of friends, grab a round of shots, and challenge everyone to prove their dominance on NBA Jam, this is it." - sarah freeman, john ringor
"Logan Square’s Emporium is hosting a pop-up market called Halloween Hangout on October 29th and 30th. There will be music, movies, a costume contest, and food as well as horror-themed artwork available for purchase." - john ringor
