"This place has two meal options for pickup and delivery, and you can even add a game to your order. No really, this is a good time to get into Settlers of Catan. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Make game night extra special by renting one of the three private party rooms at Snakes & Lattes. Choose from the spooky haunted study, a starship that looks like a place the Guardians of the Galaxy would bunk, or the enchanted forest. Each space offers the chance to spend three hours taking advantage of the bar’s collection of more than 400 games while sipping classic cocktails and sharing snacks like poutine and pierogies. Number of guests: 2-12." - Sam Nelson
"The gaming cafe featured a medieval-themed 'mead hall' used for overflow seating, and private party rooms made to look like customers were hanging out in a spaceship or a haunted house. The bar emphasized classic cocktails, while McKay's menu provided Spanish and Vietnamese food such as pisto manchego, or bún served with nuoc cham, and a version of ratatouille with fried eggplant and crispy potatoes." - Samantha Nelson
"Now part of a Canadian mini-chain, Snakes & Lattes will take over the Chicago location and largely preserve the existing formula: game concierges will still teach customers how to play games inside the cafe’s vault, and the company says it won't tinker much with the current infrastructure. I noted that Snakes & Lattes runs three locations (including Toronto and Tempe), its parent Amfil Technologies is a publicly traded distributor with 35 years in the business and plans aggressive expansion, and CEO Ben Castanie has long coveted a Chicago presence; Amfil also emphasizes strict cleaning of games and adherence to public-health best practices as the cafes reopen. Chef Aaron McKay will remain involved and take a larger role as Snakes & Lattes’ vice president of food and beverage, while the local kitchen has hired Damian Sandoval as chef du cuisine." - Ashok Selvam
