Where and when I've been transported to isn't quite certain but 1970's feels about right. You could spend an hour browsing the tchotchkes and knick knacks. The space offers plenty of seating at the bar or tables, so bring a friend or two. During the nicer weather, the back patio offers cozy seating with fire pits. The bar is cash only. They offer the standard fare of beer, cocktails, and wine. The service is fast and friendly. Pro tip: come hungry, the restaurant next door offers table delivery via QR code. I have a deep appreciation for community and the businesses that continually invest in the places and people that support them. Camaraderie through events like pot lucks, field day, and other social events is what makes this place a local gem.

Update: Tick Tock Tavern is better than ever! Still cash only, still laid-back and welcoming. Draft…read morebeers are around $3-$7 and cocktail specials are $6-$7.

We came here after a fun night out and wanted to end the night at one more stop. This used to be a…read morefrequent stop of mine when I was young and hip, and it's exactly as I remember it. The ambiance provides the vibe that it's a nice place to get a drink. Leather couches and low lighting make it a bit more elevated. We didn't order anything crazy, just a couple rounds of drinks. Servers were friendly and it was easy to grab an uber out front. They were also selling Girl Scout cookies so that's a win in my book

Spacious, plenty of pool tables, dart boards and games to entertain you. Happy Hour is M-F dollar off everything is what I was told.

I ordered onion rings which came out hot and fresh and plentiful and the drink I ordered was called Purple Popsicle. It was sweet and fruity and delicious.

My wife and I spent our Saturday night at Pink Galleon Billiards & Games (1243 Castillons Arcade…read morePlaza), and it honestly felt like our very first date all over again. From the moment we walked in, the vibe took us back to when we first started going out -- just enjoying each other and having fun. We kicked the night off with our favorite drinks, Long Island Iced Teas, and they did not disappoint. Then we ordered some wings and loaded fries, and let me tell you... they hit the spot! Perfect food for a game night. Even though my wife beat me in darts twice (I'll get her next time ), it made the night even better. Between the games, the drinks, and the laid-back atmosphere, it felt just like the first time we ever came here. As parents juggling work and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's not often we get a chance to step away from being mommy and daddy for a few hours. Whenever we need that little getaway without leaving town, Pink Galleon is where it's at. Always a great time!

Pin‑Up Bowl is a small bowling alley with only eight lanes, a big bar, and plenty of seating, and once our leader confirmed the credit card the whole thing kicked into gear with free drinks flowing right away, draft beers and a few cans and bottles and rail liquors, so I grabbed a beer while others went straight for rum and cokes or vodka and cranberry and the like. The food never stopped coming, trays of toasted ravioli and chicken tenders and pizza arriving again and again, and even with ten minutes left in the unlimited window the kitchen was still sending things out, which made the whole setup feel generous rather than timed or stingy. As for the bowling, it worked well enough for a place that has probably been running nonstop for years. Even though I haven't bowled in twenty years I still managed a respectable 125, which felt like a small personal victory. The machinery had the occasional hiccup, nothing dramatic, just the usual quirks you expect in an older alley, like the lane next to us needing to edit their scores a couple of times or a ball getting stuck in the back or a pin landing in the gutter that someone had to kick down manually, all of it adding to the lived‑in charm rather than taking away from the night. It's a neat spot on Delmar, easygoing and unpretentious, and our whole group had a great time, the kind of outing that works because the place doesn't try too hard and instead just lets people relax, bowl a little, eat a lot, and enjoy themselves.

The bowling is fun, music is good. The people who frequent it, nice. The pizza i got after they made something I hadn't ordered and corrected it, was pretty good, though the bacon was not cooked in the center, (luckily I noticed before i got sick from it)....So I had a decent opinion of the place. Many decades of coming to many places in the Loop have always been fun, with my kids, and my mom..A lot of the business owners are dear friends for years.. contemporaries. we've fought for a great cohesive community and nurtured it. This woman had gone from being nice and assuring me I was good, to a Jeckel & Hyde thing out of nowhere, contradicting what she'd just said. Threatened me, menaced me. There was no catalyst. We were far away. I understand that people get tired, have bad days, but this was bizarre and highly inappropriate.
