    It was fairly empty when we went (weekday) but it didn't stop the fun. Great cocktails, lots of space for comfort , and if it was crowded which I'm sure it gets on the weekend it's a great place to enjoy time with friends and even meet people playing beside you as well. Glad it's come to Chicago!

    We made a reservation here during a big football game with a cover we paid online in advance. Started out rough because they could not find our reservation, despite our party making it online AND calling to confirm it. They were still able to get us a shuffle table but warned us that we might get kicked out at any time. During NFL games, the cover gets you access to deals like $5 fries, $10 pizza and wings, and pitcher and drink specials. The shuffleboard aspect was fun but hard to retrieve the pucks when people were also sitting and eating along the sides. We also got a margarita pitcher that was leaking out of the bottom, which they were quick to replace but not until after we got Margarita all over lol. It was not the best vibe for a big game energy-wise but they did have plenty of TVs and audio going so that was good. One pro is that they were really great about helping our large party split our check itemized at the end, which we really appreciated! I'd come back for a normal day centered around the shuffle board aspect but not for a game or event.

    I Can't Say Enough Great Things About This Place, Between The Friendly And Attentive Staff, The Exceptional Service, The Energetic Atmosphere, And Just How Much Fun Shuffleboard Is, This Place Truly Exceeded Every Expectation. I Celebrated My Birthday Here On The Super Bowl, And The Team Went Above And Beyond To Make The Day Feel Extra Special. Our Server, Kellie, Was Amazing!!! She Was Attentive, Efficient, And So Kind The Entire Time. She Truly Helped Make The Experience Unforgettable. I Loved It So Much That I've Already Booked Another Party Here For A Friend, If You're Looking For The Perfect Spot To Host Your Next Event Or Celebration, This Is It.

    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.

    Electric Shuffle is the perfect spot for a group of friends for a celebration or just a fun night out! They have my favorite espresso martini - salted caramel and it's amazing. Super friendly service and delicious cocktails. One of the best bottomless options for brunch or dinner in a fun setting with good music and shuffleboard!

    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.

    If you're looking for a perfect place for a group of your favorite people and an activity this is your place to be ! First of all walking in you know it's going to be a good day made a reservation for a 10 for a birthday at 2pm on a Saturday and it was perfect not too busy . Big shoutout to our server Kellie ! She was the best and to find out it was her first day no one could have tell she was a pro ! We ended up doing 90 minutes $20 and ended up adding another 90 because time just goes by so fast it was perfect . Electric shuffle is perfectly easy explained by the host no pressure but all friendly completion there multiple games you can choose from and it's perfect for all the friends to get into it and mingle . When it comes to the food it was not that bad everyone in the party complemented the food was just not bar food . Drinks were flowing so I have to say the salted Carmel expresso martini was super sweet for me but just a regular one was perfect . I do enjoy the paloma mule refreshing and strong . All the food was delicious but I'm a big sweet potatoes fries girl and those were delicious . Thank you to the staff for bringing fun light sticks and a blue mysterious shot for the group . All in all can't wait for the next outing . Thank you Electric Shuffle for going above and beyond to make my bday special

    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!

    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!

    Step off the streets of Chicago into a beautifully dimly lit fondue experience is so cozy inside…read morewith the music of a live Spanish guitar that really create a private magical experience. All the premier dinners come with salad, cheese, fondue, and the chocolate fondue - You are just choosing what protein you would like. The Prince Geja combination has a little bit of everything. However, we most liked the seafood which includes lobster and the scallops were to die for! Also the beef also cooks well. Favorite dipping sauce included the pimento mayo, chimichurri, and garlic butter. The cheese fondue is quite rich and the bread is quite filling so maybe get as much cheese as you can on each piece of bread. The chocolate fondue, I think is actually the best course as the Belgium chocolate melts so well and has a decadent but not overly sweet flavor. It pairs well with all that is provided for dipping, which includes poundcake, rice Krispies, strawberries. They also have some liquor that they light on fire at first so you can roast the marshmallows. It is such a well thought out experience. Service flows very well from two waiters who take your order set up your fondue pots for each course, but be prepared to spend at least 2 hours on this experience. Check out the Groupon but also I read a review that they just tack on the extra $50 so it's not really too much of a savings. Not sure if this is true.

Also appreciated that they were accommodating for the vegetarian in our party. Everything except the cheese course can be made vegan friendly as well. The service was top notch! Appreciated that they called me ahead of time to confirm our reservation and ask about food allergies. All the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. They were quick to refill items and answer any questions we had. The location is classic fondue restaurant, cozy and romantic. However, also perfect for catching up with a friend. I love the history in this place and really enjoyed the mood lighting. Pricing was fantastic for the quality of service, food, and drinks! Look forward to many happy returns!

And that's because the menus were being printed with a personalized birthday message! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and struck the perfect balance of checking in without being overbearing. The mussels (provençal-style) were delicious and enough to share among three people. The truffle-parmesan fries: We couldn't tell if they were too salty or just salty enough, but somehow we couldn't stop eating them! I ordered the baby wedge salad with chicken, and while the chicken looked small at first, it ended up being a large enough portion to last the salad. We were also surprised with complimentary desserts: the Chocolate Chunk Cookie Skillet and Buck Russell's Cake. Though I'm not a sweet person, my dining companions thoroughly enjoyed them.

I came here with three others and we all ordered different things from the brunch menu along with a few drinks. The atmosphere here is open, modern, and pretty eye catching, we all heard a few negative comments about brunch here and rather than just taking words of advice we came anyways. To be honest we should've went elsewhere, the only thing about the food that actually seemed to have any flavor was the fries and even they were a little salty like my wallet when we left LOL The Jumbo (not so much) Lump Crab Benedict at $25 was honestly boring lacking any flavor also it didn't even come with potatoes I ended up sharing my Lincoln Park Turkey Club that was good but even it was pretty basic at $21, the Burger at $21 literally looked like something off the kids menu the bun was bigger than the patty LOL and the Blackened Chicken Caesar at $19 was more like an appetizer size and the chicken at least it was juicy not dry. Other reviews about brunch here seem to be about the same and honestly I think it's funny they don't even try to elevate their food when so many say about the same things. I think the only reason why people come to this place is 1. It's located in Lincoln Park and 2. that makes it a trendy spot to eat. So why bother fixing anything when it's just trendy and flavorless Their brunch is mediocre but apparently dinner is where it's at. However after the experience with brunch I'm not even sure I would even go back. Come here for the staff eat at your own expense maybe your food will have flavor or not but honestly do what you want and keep it trendy

I really wanted to like it; this was a nine-year anniversary dinner. Service was really attentive and friendly and I did appreciate that they brought out specific utensils for me as a left-handed person, never saw that before! The restaurant felt a bit bare and sterile, I think I was maybe expecting a little more decor on the table for a Michelin star restaurant. To echo several of the reviews below, the salad was awkward to share and scanty, the soup was good but the bread served with it felt like an afterthought, the sturgeon wasn't anything special though the sauce was quite good, and we are pretty sure the cut of beef was not wagyu or if it was it was not cooked the right way. The beef was the most disappointing part, I couldn't even chew through all of it. The add-ons were the best part - pasta was great and our dessert was delicious. But the rest of the meal was unfortunately mediocre. Hoping that others have a different experience with the regular menu!

    This review is for Restaurant Week!…read more I really like Esmes vibe overall. It's chic and minimalist. I love that the tables are widely spaced out so you don't feel like you're on top of another party. I loved the bowls everything was served in, and the silverware was unique. And the service was great. I appreciate when they left everyone finish before they clear the table. While I thought all the food was good, I think it overwhelming fell flat flavor wise. I don't think anything blew me away like I was expecting which was disappointing. We had the caviar supplement, which they accidentally gave us two of (amazing), which was good but also didn't blow me away. I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavors of the soup but that's probably a personal problem. The sturgeon and wagyu were alright. I wish I left being amazed but I left thinking I wouldn't come back, not even for RW again. I think my favorite bite of the night was the sticky date cake. I think it was the most flavorful but it wasn't the best dessert I've ever had. It lacked SOMETHING but I couldn't tell you what.

That is to say: I am not throwing words of praise like "one of a kind" and "phenomenal" around lightly. Both are different and still amazing. Sparrow has a vibe straight out of the 1920s. The decor, signage, use of color, and absence of screens or TV's all contribute to the theme. The music is also appropriate and plays at the perfect volume to be pleasant without forcing one to raise their voice. I tried the Green Daisy and a House Old Fashioned. The Green Daisy was boozy and had some herbaceous notes. A little tartness and a little sweetness helped balance the drink out and make for a phenomenal sipper. I loved the creativity with this one! The House Old Fashioned was also well done, assembled with quality ingredients in balance with one another. Nothing wrong with a well-executed classic. The prices are more or less reasonable considering the location and overall market, with bevies costing around $16. The bar staff is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming! Final verdict: A spot where I can say come for the drinks and stay for the vibe. It's the kind of place where walking in you are transported a century into the past. Everything about the experience, including the atmosphere, drinks, service, and prices, is calling me to return and bring some people with me.
