Emporium Wicker Park

Great selection of pinball tables (Star Wars, Star Trek, Addams Family, Game of Thrones, Demolition Man) and classic arcade games (NBA Jam , NFL Blitz, Mortal Kombat II, Capcom v Marvel, Qbert, Galaga)

This is the best to meet anyone. Mingle talk and explore. Try a lot of their craft beer as well . (Don't forget to play some Arcade games)

My geeky self loved this place, beer and video games . Look to the back corner for NBA Jam , Blitz, and Mortal Kombat. Also don't overlook Super Mario Bros in the front. Love the pinball as well !

The most amazing thing about this place (other than the killer beer selection and video games ) is the fact that you can order Antique Taco from next door and they'll deliver it.

Great arcade selection I felt like a kid again too the bartender early so you won’t have to wait on your drinks

SO MUCH FUN! ???? Come with a date for a fun little skee ball competition.

Excellent selection of arcade games and they have bands playing too. The place is great! Oh they also have really good pinballs .

They have a ton of games here (Atari Star Wars, anyone?), two bars , and a stage for live bands . You can even order food from places nearby.

Doesn’t have table games like the Logan counterpart, but it’s a fun spot nonetheless. Good beer menu and a really nice change-up for a date.

This Wicker Park location has more standalone games and pinball machines than the Logan Square location, plus it features 20 craft beers on tap . What could be a better combination? Read more

you might want to post somebody at the entrance so randoms like me are yelled at when they stumble into a private party by the private party goon. I just wanna see my friend's band.

Tons of retro arcade games and pinball tables. Wide variety of beer on tap . Cool vibe.

Pinball and arcade games just 25c a play. (Token required.) Or try Super Hexagon on the Indy City Arcade machine for free.

The night I went the DJ was awesome. A lot of Hipsters and arcade games from back in the day. Pretty cool spot.

They have a great beer selection and boulevard on tap . A must visit on any trip to Chicago

Always decent beers on tap . Galaga, Theater Magic, and Tapper make it even better. Bring cash for tokens .

NBA Jam bro! Seriously this place is super solid and has a decent beer list . Sometimes people hog certain games but eh what are you going to do?

I like that there's still plenty of room to move about the bar . Other arcade bars are packed with so many games that socializing becomes difficult.

The bar is cool, with vintage arcade games , and it's also located in a cool street, with vintage clothes shops

Super chill bartenders . Surly Furious on tap . Try and beat my high score on Tapper (I'm CDK).

Lots of beer selection and arcade games are fun. Just, very very crowded at times it's hard to get around.

Play "Off-Road" and have a pipeworks beer . Also, tapper is a great game

Nice bar . Gets pretty crowded though so its hard to play games at times. Still had a fairly good time

Classic arcade games , they have turtles in time and the Simpsons arcade beat 'em up.

90s hip hop , every arcade game you can think of and of course, beer /".

Divey but fun to play arcade games , reasonably priced drinks, photobooth

All the games are one token per credit, so even a couple of bucks goes a long way here!

I think I played every game in there at one point in my life. Love that place.

Grab a drink and bring back memories playing one old school arcade game after another in the Wicker Park neighborhood .

For your favorite machine you prob have to wait a bit. Hit up the other machines. Don't neglect Tron. The bartenders are super informative.

Duck Hunt please. Took a round to get used to the controls again but soon you'll be knocking down ducks & clay discs from the pixel sky. Where's my PowerPad!??

Coolest place in the world. Selling my childhood back to me, but with great beer ! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Come for the games, stay for the amazing beer selection

Loads of 80s arcade games , cute bartenders and craft beer .

The Indie City Arcade game next to the token station is free - doesn't need coins.

Great live music and great 90's movies

Tapper is the way to go! Awesome bar , check it out.

Great beer selection and classic games.

????beers & games, boom!????

The video games here always start off a great night here!

Save everyone a little grief and read the chalkboard . Those are the only beers available. And no Miller Lite.

You can't climb up the ladder if you have the hammer in your hand.

Great selection of pinball machines.

Avoid Saturday nights. Too packed to even get to most games, let alone get a drink. Best in the afternoon.

Similar to Beercade, but you have to pay to play. More game options though.

So fun...arcade games and good drinks, specifically beer

If you intend to use a credit card here; it will also ask you to give it your I.D. ☞ No wi-fi; which is probably intentional.

Donkey Kong and Space Jam Pinball ! Great beers too.

Beer & Classic Video Games good crowd.
