    Brunch
    Cassie T.

    Nothing but good vibes and food here! They have a great brunch special, unlimited brunch and one bottle of champagne per person for $50 each I believe, great happy hour prices and other specials as well like NFL game days. The food is surprisingly decent for this kinda establishment, I was expecting something like D&B's taste/quality lol but we realllyyyyy enjoyed the brunch items (maple bacon wings, bacon, pizza, truffle fries, beignets). It's a great place to come with a group of friends or a date, though it gets busy so I'd def recommend making reservations. The shuffleboard is all digital, there's different games to play which keeps it interesting. Service is always great even when they're slammed. Shout out to the super kind employee who got me some feminine products :') you the best!!! Good spot for a group hang so people can keep busy, especially if not everyone drinks alcohol.

    This was a great activity bar! I love that you can sign in and be playing with moderate frequency at your station. I will say that our station was only about half full, so I am not sure how frequent you would play if it was entirely full. The game itself was very intuitive and the different game modes were fun to try out. I do wish there was more of an opportunity to play the person you were with a little more often, but if you prefer the tournament style you will love this. I can't speak to the food as we didn't order any, but the drinks were on the weaker side and nothing was particularly above and beyond about them. I would come back with a large group to fill up a shuffleboard table. Our server was very attentive, despite the crowd, which was appreciated.

    I cannot stop absolutely raving about this place!!!!! From the GM, Kevin, to the staff ( special shout out to Les and the male bartender), this is hands down the best electric shuffle location in the entire franchise ( I've been to 3 of 4 locations ! The music is always good, the djs they hire for Saturday brunch are amazing! It's always clean, the food is consistently good, the service is consistently good, the games are consistently good. I have now had two birthday parties here in addition to hosting work events here and it's always a hit with my guests! This is literally my favorite place in Chicago! Such a welcoming and fun place on any given day! My 2026 goal is to become even more of a regular here !

    What a fun place! I was skeptical at first but the shuffle board ending up being very fun. The French fries were actually delicious. The cost of Football Sundays $10 cover all-day was a sweet deal. The specials were impressive and we made use of them! Great vibe and the service was very nice and helpful.

    If you're looking for a fun outing in downtown Chicago, this is a great place. You get your own private area along with a server. The staff is very friendly and the vibe is upbeat. They also have a full bar and lots of food options.

    Came for shuffleboard stayed for the salted Carmel espresso martini. I'm not a huge coffee drinker so I typically ask for baileys in my espressos. However the salted Carmel here doesn't need it! We ordered the sampler and sliders think it was just be a snack side and the sampler is huge, we had plenty of food to go. Would be a great place for corporate events or an outing with friends. I will definitely be back.

    Electric shuffle is one of my favorite River North gems! Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Drinks are a little on the pricier side, but they have good deals like football Sundays and holiday deals. The game itself is super fun, and they also have great deals on holidays. Atmosphere is popping. I came for the grand opening in May and left wanting to work there, it was so fun! I always bring friends and visitors here. Such a great addition to the neighborhood!

    So.Much.Fun!!! We felt lucky we were able to get a table last minute on a Saturday night. What a great group activity. There are a few different styles of play and it was fun for everyone regardless of level of experience. Signing up was easy either using the kiosk or you mobile phone. Plenty of storage below the shuffle table for coats and purses which is nice. Service was attentive and gave us a pitcher of water and cups. The board captured videos and instantly replays which is fun, and mixed up competitors. Our group had a blast. Highly recommend, but would book a spot in advance next time.

    I really like this place! Came here for the first time with a group of girlfriends and they really took care of us. Welcome birthday shots that were yummy with sparklers and the staff dancing - super cute! We went for brunch so AYCE spread for 90min + each person gets a bottle of prosecco. Everyone left fulfilled! Would love to bring another group of friends here.

    Such a hidden gem! We originally spotted Electric Shuffle on our way to another bar, but the vintage disco aesthetic pulled us in -- and I'm so glad it did. Turns out, it's a shuffleboard bar with super sleek interactive tech and a really fun, lively vibe. We grabbed a 45-minute session for two and didn't wait more than 10 minutes, even though there was a party going on. While we waited, I tried their Salted Caramel Espresso Martini (on draft) -- honestly one of the better espresso martinis I've had in a while. Sweet, but not over the top. Once we were at our table, a team member gave us a walkthrough of how to use the scoreboard and explained all the different game modes (not just traditional shuffleboard!). There's table service while you play, and everyone on staff was kind and attentive. The technology worked flawlessly -- it even recognized when someone used the wrong puck color and corrected it! We had so much fun that we went back a couple nights later with a group of six. The place wasn't as packed that night, which was great for larger group play -- the games rotate players automatically, so you're never stuck playing the same person over and over. Only small thing: I ordered a Paloma the second night, which was fine but nothing special. Still, between the drinks, DJ, and super engaging gameplay, both visits were fantastic. Would absolutely go again!

    Such a fun spot! The $5 beers are a total steal, especially for a place this lively and well-designed. The real highlight, though, is the shuffleboard game -- it's not your average bar shuffleboard. The tech is super interactive and keeps things fast-paced and fun, whether you're there with a big group or just a few friends. Tons of laughs, a little friendly competition, and honestly a great way to break the ice or switch up your usual night out. The vibe is upbeat and energetic, but not chaotic. Staff were great -- helpful with explaining how the game works and quick with drinks. It's one of those places where time flies without you realizing. Definitely coming back -- great for group hangs, birthdays, or just a spontaneous night of good beer and better vibes.

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! The drinks were so tasty, service was quick and attentive. We came here on valentine's day and the servers were so welcoming and kind. The atmosphere is so fun even if you're not here to play shuffleboard. A guaranteed fun time for anyone

It is definitely unique, creative, and a massive differentiator from any other cocktail bar I've been to. Now, let's talk cocktails! The creativity of the interior extends into the menu. Unlike some places that just make variations of existing classics (except for items specifically so named, like the Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini), all of their cocktails are unique and interesting. Time for a punch card? I ordered the Maximillian the Imposter. While I'm not typically a fan of banana (except for banana bread), I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone, and I wanted to try something 'flaming'. Flaming it was! The preparation of the drink involved a surprising amount of fire. I initially thought this was just for show, but no, this translated into a noticeable smoky flavor. Beyond that, the drink was strong, not overly sweet, and an all-around delight. There was one bartender on the night I was here, and while it was busy, I was still able to get my drink in a reasonable amount of time. I also feel as though they have reasonable prices, especially considering the quality and the market rates. King of Cups gets busy, and for good reason: they are an all-around phenomenal place, from the drinks to the vibe, and everything in between. If you're someone who likes a seat rather than fighting through a crowd, get a reservation! See you there!

You know it is these days - most places just knock a dollar off and call it a day. This one is legit! I'd say you should make a reservation for prime time to ensure you'll have a seat.

Both are on draft which made me nervous from past experiences at other places. However, these were great and I LOVED their espresso martini. The bartender was kind and the vibes were off the charts. Check this place out next time you're in Lincoln Park!

A guitarist sits somewhere against a brick wall and plays music lightly but energetically. Service is friendly from start to finish and smiles are on everyone's faces. The menu is pretty easy to understand. You can get a three-course meal, or you can get each entree à la carte. You have two fondue candles in front of you, one for the cheese and dessert, and the other for the oil. We chose the three-course meal, and it was delightful. We started with the cheese appetizer. You get a basket of bread and fruit and we chose the seasonal cheese to dip. The oil for our meat was then left to heat, and we received a massive platter of veggies and meats for our main course. We chose the option for all selections of meat and seafood. After trying all the meats, I would opt for the lobster and shrimp. You can also substitute the oil for a broth. I would like to try the broth for next time. In one of the shakers, Gejas makes their own meat spice mix. It's recommended to put on the meats and even the desserts. It's a mix of tangy and savory and was a great compliment to the meal. We then chose the seasonal dessert, a white chocolate with vanilla cookies. Fruit, marshmallows, and churros to dip. We were so full by the time dessert came, but we enjoyed a few bites and took it home. The three-course meal, with five types of meat, came with about 10 pieces of meat. It doesn't look like a lot of food, but it truly is, with the apps, veggies, etc, your stomach will be full when you walk out of here. They also start the entire course with a mixed salad (so technically it's a four-course meal). It was very fairly priced, as well. Initially looking at the prices, you may think it's expensive, but it truly is a value with the amount of food they serve. This was rated as most romatic restaurant in Chicago. Its ambiance gives you the romantic feel, the guitarist adds to the atmosphere, and the staff is professional and friendly. This really was a great place and we enjoyed our time and meal.

I've been eating it on occasion for 10+ years here always with the hope that it has improved. I would love to see a do-over on the burger. It would be great to have a place in the neighborhood that consistently delivered. As it stands, it's a distant second to RJ Grunt's, Small Cheval and not even in the same realm as Armitage Alehouse's burger. Really hoping I get to come back and revise this review to rave about how much better it got. The staff is always very nice and attentive as well.

All of the food was presented tastefully with meticulous attention to detail. The salad is brought out as a shared dish, which is potentially a bit awkward. Not a problem since I was dining with my husband, but I would have preferred my own salad if I was with a less familiar party. The silverware and dishes were works of art in and of themselves, but our table was scratched up considerably. My dessert was presented very creatively - although my husband's was much more straightforward. Dessert was an optional add-in, so a separate bill was brought out for this at the end. My husband carelessly left a tip on top of the hefty service charge they apply by default, but I didn't realize until after the fact since I'd gone to the restroom.

    Chicago Restaurant week. I reviewed various dining options in search of a good place for dinner…read more Reddit gave me some ideas. I'd never been to Willow Room and liked that they had a four course dinner menu, with items I liked. I was able to make a reservation for a Saturday night at 8:15pm. PARKING Parking on Halsted on a Saturday night can be a nightmare, and it did take a minute to find street parking. North of the 1800 block is busier because there are several restaurants within a two block radius. Side streets are permit parking after 6pm. Meters on Halsted are $2.50/hr. ATMOSPHERE Willow Room was pretty packed. We had a reservation for 8:15pm and my party of two was seated right away. The restaurant features a full bar, dim lighting and is nice and roomy. They have banquette seating around the perimeter, in addition to tables in the middle. SERVICE Our server, who was very nice and accommodating during our dining experience, came by and gave us our menu's. I had already decided on the RW menu and after review, my friend was interested in the Beef Wellington (not on RW menu). Our server informed us that normally the whole table had to order off of the RW menu if one person does, but said she would check with the kitchen since this was the last day of RW. Luckily, we were able to proceed with ordering from different menu's. FOOD I ordered a raspberry Cosmopolitan. I'm a Riesling/Moscato girlie, but I tasted the Riesling and didn't like it. RW dinner was priced at $60. I ordered: First Course: Caesar Salad (Typical salad, was good) Second Course: Mussels (Tasted fine, came with a baguette) Third Course: Short Rib (Could've been slightly more tender and better seasoned. I've definitely had better. Wouldn't order again.) Fourth Course: Orange Ricotta Donuts (Donuts were very good. Three were served, a few more would have been more filling.) My friend ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and: Truffle Fries (Fries were very tasty. I would order again if I went back.) Beef Wellington (The breading was buttery and very good. The beef could've been more seasoned. I wouldn't order.) Key Lime Pie (Was not sweet and had no taste. When our server came back and saw it was uneaten, she offered to take it off the bill. It should be removed from the menu altogether.) The busboys and server were very attentive. Our water glasses were always filled. OVERALL The atmosphere was nice, our server was great. Of all the food we ordered, I would order the truffle fries and Cosmopolitan again. I did leave full and did take my leftover Short Rib to go. Main dishes needed more seasoning. I would dine here again and try a different menu (brunch/lunch), or Happy Hour if they offer it.
