Retro arcade bar with free games, craft beers & pub fare
"A beercade concept the owners first opened in Lakeview in 2012 and relocated to a larger space in 2014, now housed in the same building as the new cocktail bar. Its proximity to the owners' other concepts is central to a strategy of concentrating resources and offering guests a synergistic experience—encouraging visits to multiple spots in one night or providing an alternative while another location has a wait." - Serena Maria Daniels
"An additional venture operated by the same owners, mentioned as another of their businesses but not described in detail in the text." - Ashok Selvam
"A dozen years on, I note Jordan and Galati's ultra-casual arcade bar Headquarters Beercade in Lakeview has been their launching pad; the experience of running that arcade bar helped them scale up to more ambitious projects like Dearly Beloved." - Naomi Waxman
"Part of the founders’ portfolio, Headquarters Beercade is associated with an industrial aesthetic that contrasts with Machine’s softer florals; the founders reference that industrial look as part of their design range and evolution as they pursue new ideas with Dearly Beloved." - 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
