Never heard of it until now, let us know how it is.

Definitely looks like my kind of place.

@ Big Fan, is that in regards to me? I've been slacking on reporting back.

I thought it was great. Outstanding beer selection. Food was decent. A vendor picked the the menu. Mac and Cheese and Meatballs were good, Sliders were pretty dry and meh.

All of the games were in great shape. Spent some time playing Time Crisis, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Air Hockey, RBI Baseball. Had no issues with any functionality in the games.

The place has a really cool vibe to it. All the TV's were playing American Gladitors or classic WWF matches. There appeared to be a DJ area with a huge wall of cassette tapes behind it.

The other location in lincoln park I've heard has a lot more games and a bit of a younger crowd which makes sense.

I definitely recommend checking the River North location out.

Block or so south of Kirkwood's

At LP you have to wait for the good games like Blitz and Jam during prime time. Agreed with being a solid place. Though when it took over Uncle Fatty's it also took Coach House. Hated Fatty's but liked Coach House.

Games are all free.
