Heather BellSeptember 20, 2015A hidden gem! There isn't a sign with the name. Inside is amazing. It's huge. It looks like a hogwarts style bar. With games. Bocce was awesome but a long wait. Fish tacos were on point. 😋
Cole KennedyFebruary 26, 2017Just like everything else in the Athletic Association, Game Room is too cool for school. It's like your parents' basement, but grown up & swanky. Perfect for groups. (Try their Chicago dog!)
- Redeye ChicagoJune 25, 2015Follow the sound of cracking billiard balls and the occasional cheer to this wood-paneled gaming hall, to play pool, bocce, foosball, and more while enjoying fairground-inspired food. Read more
- JonahJune 10, 2016This place is awesome!! Huge space with great games like foosball, pool, mini shuffle-board and full scale bocce ball. Fantastic place to go with friends or even a date.
Monday to Thursday from 3-6pm get a burger, fries, Schlitz lager, and rotating shot for $10. Arguably one of the best burgers I’ve had. Also, play shuffleboard and bocce ball.
ChicagoistJune 5, 2015The team in the Cherry Circle Room also put together a drink and snacks menu for The Game Room, which has billiards, a bocce court, shuffleboard, and table games. Read more
Jessica ZanioloFebruary 4, 2016Cocktails are creative and delicious, the space is beautiful, and games, duh. Get there earlier though. Went there from 3-5 on a Friday, then to dinner next door, and after 5 the place was mobbed.
Erik RowleyJanuary 20, 2017Indoor bocce ball, foosball, pool, alcohol, and a setting straight out of the board game clue...are we playing games within a game???
C ReyApril 29, 2017Located inside the Chicago Athletic Association, this large game room has plenty of nosh and booze to keep you and friends fueled for intellectual engagement; be it chess, backgammon, or conversation.
Desiree PerezFebruary 22, 2018Beautiful place. But couldn’t get in because of a private event. The girl said to go to Cindy’s hang out come back at 12am so we did. They closed... talk about bad timing but it’s nice inside
Cristian LöfvallJuly 11, 2016The whole environment that the game tables create is awesome. Go prepared to ask (or be asked by) strangers if they (you) need an opponent!
Ben GaspariniSeptember 22, 2016Absolutely loved all the games but it can be quite hard to get a turn on them. Good beers to choose from too.
Dustin HaleyNovember 4, 2017Absolutely love this place - great place for groups, stop in with visitors when doing touristy things in the loop.
Tana BabcockSeptember 30, 2016Great space - lots to do, amazing cocktails. Highly recommend the old fashioned!
Marizza Witt-DoerringAugust 31, 2016You need to leave your name on a waitlist with the staff in order to play the games, which may take hours after you get there
Linda FelterJune 29, 2015We had almost one of everything. Crowd pleasers were the fish tacos, fried pickles, and popcorn.- Ariana VoyerApril 30, 2017Crowded for happy hour - has pool tables, bocce ball and more! Cool vibe for sure.
Amy RobertsonJune 5, 2016On a Saturday afternoon this can be a great place to spend a couple hours with friends playing checkers and drinking beer
NickSeptember 7, 2015Play bocce with friends while you drink an old fashioned with some fried oysters.
José SalgadoJune 26, 2015Space is great. Service was terrible. They brought out food before drinks, and forgot half of our food order. We decided to leave, but they did apologize and comp our 2 drinks.
