Chicago Pinball and Animatronic Shows at Elston Electric
Elston Electric combines pinball, cocktails and an animatronic band near the Salt Shed. No children are allowed after 10 PM.
🎮 Pinball Beside an Animatronic Band
At Elston Electric, pinball and giant screen games sit alongside cocktails and animatronic band performances. The mix makes a night here easy to shape around play and a show, with an outdoor eating area adding room to step away from the game floor. Close to the Salt Shed, Elston Electric sits at 1357 N Elston Ave in Chicago, and the kitchen serves familiar bar food with a few vivid choices.
The game floor gives out ticket prizes, and visitors say the hauls top typical arcade prizes. Families are welcome during the day, but the no kids policy starts after 10 PM, a timing detail to keep in mind when bringing younger guests. Pizza and tots sit beside crispy taquitos and fries, while a beer and a bump arrives with a neon green pickle relish back. Between games, there is plenty to do without changing plans or crossing town.
