There was an overwhelming number of boba shops in Chicago's Chinatown. It was difficult to decide…read morewhich one to visit, but my friend and I ultimately chose Bingo Tea because it looked decently crowded and the cups were adorable (lol). The inside of the shop wasn't that spacious, but there were a few tables where you could sit and relax for a bit. The decor was pretty interesting-- the ceilings were painted to display a bright blue sky, and there were fake bread pastries glued to parts of the walls. You can place your order at the register, and they ask that you pay in cash to help them avoid credit card transaction fees. If you wish to pay with a credit card, note that there's a $5 minimum purchase. Most, if not all, of their drinks cost over $5, so that shouldn't pose much of a problem. DRINK: Passion Fruit and Chia Seeds Tea (3.95/5) - I got this with lychee jelly. It was pretty sweet, and I regret forgetting to ask if I could adjust it. However, I still enjoyed it, and the chai seeds intrigued me since it's never really been an option I've encountered. It was definitely a nice, refreshing choice for someone who had been eating pretty heavy foods for the past two days. SERVICE: I can't remember much about the service in great detail, but the person who helped us order was nice and patient. Our drinks also did not take too long to come out. TLDR// I enjoyed Bingo Tea overall. I didn't think it was the best I ever had, but I wouldn't be opposed to coming back.

The concept of the Hideout is pretty simple - a bar in front and a small venue in the back. This…read morewas the first time we'd been there, and went to see a band a family member is in. The bar is good. It's dark and they have lots of different beers on special. Not being a beer drinker, I had a bourbon. The price was pretty good. Their selection isn't huge, but it isn't a very large bar either. The venue is small and lined with curtains for sound baffling. There is a stage at the end of the room, about eight tables - four on each wall. The rest is open space to stand and watch the acts. Being small, the acoustics could be a little better. Of course, the bands are loud and mixing the sound in a small space is difficult. I think the sound person did a great job to compensate, though. It was fun and I'm sure we'll be back to see more live music.

(Metropolitan Apostolic Church) They will even provide transportation to groups of 5 or more.Go check it out, see how you like it.

I wish I could give this place one star because the slot machines took all my money... but…read moreunfortunately I can't because everything else was actually great. The casino is super clean, there's plenty of parking, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. The drink service was good and the food was surprisingly delicious. Everything is organized well and it's honestly a really fun place to spend an evening. Now... let's talk about those machines. They were absolutely ruthless to me and happily accepted every dollar I fed them. Meanwhile, my husband somehow walked away $500 richer, which I'm still trying to process. Apparently the machines only like him. Even though the slots clearly had a personal vendetta against me, we still had a great time and will probably be back (because hope springs eternal when it comes to casinos). Just remember: bring a budget... and maybe bring my husband for good luck. Great place for a fun adult evening!

We didn't try their cocktails but they had a curated cocktail menu for the Stranger Things theme. For a Tuesday night the week of Christmas, it was busy as expected.

Honestly, such folks would probably make millions playing baseball or something; I couldn't really tell you, I'm not a big baseball guy. But I digress. What makes this barcade so phenomenal is that most of their pinball machines are set to free play! You can play them as much as you wish without spending a dime. As someone who has spent a dollar, only to see "game over" after about two or three minutes, this is what keeps me coming back again and again. They do have bars (yes, multiple!), of course. The drinks are creative, tasty, and not terribly expensive. I also appreciate that at no point during my visit did I feel compelled to order alcohol to play the games. Furthermore, at the time of my visit, they had a Shrek theme going in the bar in the back. It added to the fun atmosphere. That same night, there was a live DJ. While I am not a fan of loud music in a space which is already pretty loud, I appreciate that this is 100% a personal preference. Plus, I have hearing protection with me pretty much always, so it became a non-issue. I do want to point out that some of their machines could use a little bit of preventative maintenance checks and services. For example, one of the pinball machines had a stuck flipper, another a sticky flipper, and the Terminator 2: Judgment Day arcade game had an issue with the controllers (broken button on one, no vibration on another). However, since these are free, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" comes into play, and I don't feel right dinging them on it. Besides, I realize that mechanical devices are going to break. I recently got stuck in an elevator, so I would know! With all this, Replay Lincoln Park is phenomenal, and I can't wait to return on Friday nights to see if I can make myself into a pinball wizard. Yeah, good luck to me (/s)

I like that the place is crowded, but not crazy. We secured our spots by coming in early. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were reasonably priced. It is not a fancy bar, it is a "mom & pop's" hence the name Mom's Place. We didn't get a chance to check out the live music on the other side, but it seems people were having fun in every room.
