Love, love, love the patio. Very chill and roomy. Perfect quiet place for a date or with someone you just want to talk to without yelling and stressing your vocal chords like I do...

Arcade games are free, drinks and games make for a great combo. Just be ready to bring some change for the pinball machines if that's your thing

Catch your favorite sports team at Halsted's with a cold beer in hand, then your luck at vintage arcade games at Replay while sipping a glass of bourbon or one of the bar's more than 20 draft beers. Read more

Try their extensive draft beer selection. The Left Hand Milk Stout is always a great choice.

Large beer selection and great patio out back. Not nearly as many games as Emporium or Headquarters.

Great Bourbon selection and nice new patio? Bucks, what's that?
Andrew MondtJune 27, 2013
The machines are free. The joystick on Donkey Kong is flakey. Ms PacMan has been hacked! She flies at triple speed.

Do NOT put quarters into the games for more credits... unless you are a genius like me. #FreeCredits

They charge $2.50 for ice if you order a drink on the rocks. The same ice is free otherwise. Never buying here again because of this ripoff bs.

Fun spot and good drinks

Don't sleep on their back patio. No literally you can't sleep. Jk, it's great service and a decent bourbon and beer selection.

Service is getting horrible, bartenders getting drunk with their friends. Service sucks and this could be a good episode of restaurant stakeout @ a bar.
Phil TouchetteAugust 7, 2014
Fun retro video games!
Corey AJune 2, 2013
The woman bartender is rude. Weak drinks and bartenders that don't know their mixology .
