Headquarters Beercade

"The design of Dearly Beloved is different from what people are used to seeing from us, referring to the industrial look of Headquarters Beercade." - Naomi Waxman

"The Nashville pop-up returns to Chicago this year, packing the River North bar with photo opportunities like naughty-and-nice thrones and a full-sized sleigh. Festive drinks include Partridge in a Pear Tree (Bombay Bramble, spiced pear liqueur, ginger ale) and Santa Snack (blanco tequila, apple pie liqueur, hard cider). Reservations are available via OpenTable." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"Headquarters Beercade is tumbling down the rabbit hole with a Malice in Wonderland horror tea party pop-up in River North. Organizers at the arcade bar promise specialty cocktails like We’re All Mad Here plus burlesque performances and scary selfie backdrops." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam

"HeadQuarters Beercade, the arcade bar in River North, is hosting a very special brunch pop-up, the kind that will make patrons want to finish all of their homework on Friday so they can hang out all weekend with their best backpack and eyeliner. Emo Brunch, featuring items with questionable puns inspired by bands like Dashboard Confessional (Hashbrown Confessional) and Coheed & Cambria (Coffee & Cambria) starts on Saturday, April 23 and will take places on weekends through May 22. It’s a $50 flat fee that will gain entrance to a palace of nostalgic tunes from this post-hardcore punk sub-genre. This is a traveling pop-up from a new company called Bucket Listers, an operation which has a familiar character to Chicagoans. Derek Barry, the DJ who created the Saved by the Bell pop-up that originated in Chicago before moving to LA, is onboard. Emo Brunch at HeadQuarters BeerCade, 213 W. Institute Place, every Saturday and Sunday from April 23 to May 22, tickets available online." - Naomi Waxman
