Chicken and waffles and Italian beef are awesome. Much more open than Lakeview location . Definitely more trendy , not as nerdy. Servers and bartenders are great.
Love this! Different identity than Lakeview, but the integrity of the concept is not lost. Check out the downstairs- and be sure to take a seat and enjoy the atmosphere.
If you have a group and/or want to eat on a fri or sat night, make a reservation ! Great food--somewhat more mature crowd versus the Lakeview location (I avoid bars with a line and a velvet rope)
It was so much fun! All the games are free. Excellent beer selection . Great for dates. Went on a Thursday night. Found parking and got to play pacman. It was a good day to go!
This place was cool. Get drunk and play old school arcades and pinball . I believe they are free to play as well . Win win!
Came here from faraway to check out this place w pinballs .Most of them were free.Beers were good. But one waitress was rude,didn’t let us put our beers on a table,even if the place was empty🙄
Great drinks! Great bartending ! Great beer ! Great games! Didn't have any real complaints. The downstairs area is a lot quieter than the upper level.
It’s like stepping back into the 80s and early 90s. Very nostalgic and lots of room. Love the wall with all the cassette tapes.
Good craft beer selection and free video games ! Old arcade games like donkey kong and pacman included
Pretty cool place with classic sized arcade games ! Drinks are great and music is legit. Fun times.
The second Beercade outpost has a full menu and bar , plus a solid selection of F R E E arcade games (think: NBA Jams & Mortal Kombat).
Free video games and pinball ! Monday's are industry nights for 50% off for service industry workers!
The blue raspberry freezer pop turned my poop blue! Very cool!
So many fun games and really tasty cocktails ! Loooooved Assault and Pepper ! :P
Great place for some games you used to play in the 80s and 90s. Not as big as the Lincoln park location.
The free games are awesome! I played some games I haven't seen since I was a kid. Had a great time!
Barcade of NYC is my standard and this is pretty good. I like that most of the games are free, but it's a little too clubby for my likes.
Drinks are good and the best part is you can play most of the arcade games for free
Beer AND arcade games ?! Yes please. 👍🏽 Great throwback fun with great drink selections.
Great beer selection !! Wish all the games were free
Arcade games are so much fun! Fantastic beer selection ! Great for dates!
Free to play arcade games ? Sign me up!
Hey Headquarters Beercade - River North, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out! http://taps.io/freebie
Great for Arcade, Pinball and 80ies nostalgia. Good Beers , (finger) food ok.
Awesome pinball selection. Mostly free to play and very well maintained.
Great place for private parties
Games are free. Mozzarella sticks are unbelievably delicious.
Surprisingly good beer selection . Oh, and free games too : )
Bigger and more open than the original. I just wish it had Hat Trick :(
Many & great beer options
Much like the Lakeview location but with food. Games still free!
Free arcade games , great craft beer selection !
Great date place . Good drink menu but pricey .
Beer and the most classic games. What can be better???

A few free games in the back corner on the lower level.
Enjoyed the food: burger , chicken wings , and waffle/chicken. Service was disappointing, very slow, maybe not enough servers? Playing pinball was a blast.
STFU when you're leaving or get a stern talking to from the bouncers. 😒
The downstairs bar is where it's at.
Great #headquarters
Free games , wide beer selection .
My favorite bar in Chicago!
The place plays old American Gladiator episodes on the TVs ... Win.

Drinks and pinball !
Less focused on games than the other headquarters. Loud .
The Dreamsicle is a dream.
Quality cabinets and cute servers
Love this place!
Best place ever!
Great beer selection with a focus on Three Floyds. Excellent cocktails as well, try the Seven Sisters. The Welsh Rarebit and Pleasant House pies make amazing bar food. - Eric Munn
Country fried ribeye with eggs over easy- delicious!! Also, try the pop tart! - Malea
Great food, tons of tvs for all the games!!! Try the jalapeño bacon and good beer selection - Melvin Mcentee
Tough to find outside of Chicago, the highlight here is the Italian Beef Sandwich- part french dip, part New Orleans Muffuletta, all delicious. - Hudson Sutler
Awesome avacado burger! Plus when you order a medium hamburger, you get a medium hamburger! - Becky
Nice, friendly neighbourhood pub in River North, during the week it can be busy with the afterwork crowd, quieter on a weekend. Decent selection of beers on tap, and more in bottle. Good bar food. - Gareth Jones
