Elston Electric
4.4 (79)bar
4.4 (79)A Chicago arcade-bar pairing pinball and giant-screen games with cocktails and animatronic band performances.
Description
The multi-use space includes shops and an outdoor eating area, making it a popular spot to pregame before Salt Shed events. While the pizza and tots are standard bar fare, the kitchen turns out highly rated crispy taquitos and fries. Drinkers can order a beer and a bump served with a neon green pickle relish back. The game floor yields ticket prizes that visitors note are better than typical arcade hauls. Families are welcome during the day, though a no-kids policy kicks in after 10:00 PM.
