Another one of my favorite spot to go for gaming. Great Place! Cannot wait to come back!! Not just for drinks but for the games as well!

Great food & fun for all ages. Good prices. Right beside City Golf & AMC Theaters plus bowling.

We (family of 5 and friends) experienced a rainy day during our stay to see the city of Chicago last May. Upon a quick search online we discovered Lucky Strike & FTW (For The Win Arcade) right next to our hotel. We had an absolute blast for several hours bowling, playing putt-putt golf, ping-pong, pool, and arcade games. Great variety of indoor activities for all ages, kids and adults alike!!! We also found the variety and quality of food to be very good; and the bar had an impressive selection of Craft Beer! Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful showing us the ropes as we had never visited before. We will definitely visit again next time were in the city!!!

Its so fun here, I feel like a child when I came here. I played air hockey the most but I tried to go to every machine and I had fun at every one of them. So its pretty cool, everytime you play on a machine they give you credits. You can redeem the credits for gifts or things. I couldnt be there long enough to get a lot of credits but I did win a ray gun. I recommend this place to everyone, adult or child.

Sadly it was closed at the time of going so I cant say if it was great or not. I would love to go again when its actually open.

Looking for something new for date night? Group outing? Nostalgic fun? You really dont even need a reason to enjoy FTW besides, I wanna have fun! There are a huge variety of games and theres MINI GOLF! Great place for an event as there are party rooms available. Make sure to get the garlic steak kabobs. They are divine :-P

Definitely coming back ! Very convenient for taking the family out or a date night :)Might be some machine thats give a u wait or the need to call for help but the staff is defiently the type to care.& VERY FAIR GAMING PRICES!

Lots of fun! Busy arcade, good beer list. Mini golf is a very short course but really cool design.

Had a blast at a birthday party for my sons friend. Tons of games, of all different types. Many appropriate for younger kids. Excellent debit card system to access games, and the tickets you win get added back to the same card. High quality fun.

Awesome place to just hangout and have a great time.

Ive been here a couple of times and thought it was super fun. There are lots of carny games and video games as well as a wide variety of drinks and food. For one of our company outings we did an Olympics of sorts and it was very well received. Skip the mini golf and try the 2-minute drill--2 minutes straight of throwing a football. I could barely wipe my butt the next day from the soreness.

Cool spot to blow a few bucks playing games and having a drink. Beat Ninja Turtles so that was cool.

Always have a great, chill time here. Good for adults who want a little getaway from the norm. Food is decent but the staff made it better. Golf course was cute.

We were here January 10th 2 pm-430 pm and unfortunately didn’t catch the name of the bartender but he was absolutely the best bartender. He was the sweetest man and so so so helpful! 10/10 wish we could give him a rating alone!! Thank you for being so kind to us and others around us!! ️

Definitely worth the money and time spent here. Redeeming e-tickets was a easy process.

A fantastic arcade that is more for adults than kids. However they have such a wide variety of games that you will find something for everyone here.The food and drinks are also good here although a little bit on the pricey side.You can also buy gift cards for others. I would bring my friends and family here and have a fantastic time!

The food was okay. Not very flavorful. Starters came out with the main course. Starter was burnt. Waitress seemed ditzy. Food comes from across the hall, uncovered. Very weird. Great location though. But Dave and Busters food is much better.

Fun and waitress was attentive. Its kinda weird how you sit down to eat without any guidance but they immediately helped us so that was good. A good selection of games to play.

FTW is a great spot in the city to take your kids so they can have a good time, and the adults can as well. It’s like a Dave & Busters but way higher quality. The food is very solid for being bar-style food, and they have lots of good beers on tap and drinks. It’s a great spot for adults to hang out while the kids run around and play games. They have a pretty great selection of arcade games, though I will say that they very rarely get new ones. So if you go often it doesn’t really change (unlike D&B who get new games quite often).If you’re looking for a fun afternoon of arcades with the kids, we ALWAYS pick to go here over Dave & Busters.

Fun and lively. However its like Dave and Busters not what we were looking for. The VR setup was cool though

Real fun experience. The food was great. The service was spot on.

Had an adult birthday party here over the weekend and had a great time. The planning staff was great and made the reservations without any issues. Even though the whole space was rented out for a larger party, they were able to accommodate my small group at both FTW and Lucky Strike. Felt like we were very taken care of and they even upgraded our party for free! Thanks so much for such a fun experience!

FTW is basically an arcade with a bar that serves food. The machines require a preloaded card, which they charge a $2 activation fee for. The games all charge by points. So of course you end up with an odd amount of points leftover that you cannot use. We also tried miniature golf where the carpet was extremely dirty and full of stains.

Love this place. Great theater arcade and bowling/pool/ping pong

Very fun place to go with family and friends especially for a group of gamers which there are definitely a lot of them in Chicago. I definitely recommend this place for the people who love to play video games and that you should be here for a few hours in the day.

Tons of games and great prizes that are actually attainable. Everything was in working order too

I just went there for games, but I love the Steampunk theme of the place! The bar even has themed drinks as well as a few varieties of absinthe! I plan on going back to sample the drinks and just hang out again! Ticket payout is good and they have decent, more adult-friendly prizes. Plus its in the same building as the AMC Movie Theater! Movies, drinks, and games, just steps from Navy Pier and the Loop!!!! Such a great place!!!

Very expensive. Smaller than I expected. Food was delicious even if it was pricey. One of their 3D/4D two-player games has one set of broken glasses and the other pair was disgustingly filthy.

Was closed when google said it was open.

Our family, including siblings, elderly parents and young children (ages 5 & 7) decided to go to the games area as a family after dinner – something to enjoy with the young ones and the older parents before the new year’s eve rush kicked in. We arrived around 7:45pm-ish. Many of the games weren’t working properly. The connect four was only working on the red portion, the skeeball games and another wasn’t counting the points properly, the table hockey for 4 people froze in the middle of the game, etc etc. We thought it would be best to let the manager or a worker know what was happening, so they can either fix the issue or put an “out of order” sign so other kids wouldn’t waste their points on those games. We must have hit a cord with one too many “this game doesn’t work properly” because the manager snapped. Instead of dealing with us nicely or even in a civil manner, he started to push us out saying “9pm it’s only 21 and older so you all have to leave now.” Mind it, it was only around 8:25 at that point. We said there’s still a lot of time left for our kids to play and we have over 700 points still left on the card. We also explained that had the girl at the front desk mentioned something about the 9pm limit, we wouldn’t have bought so much and planned accordingly.” The manager then kept arguing in a very LOUD and rude manner to cause a scene saying that he knows the girl at the front told us – We asked him why we would lie about such a thing since he wasn’t even around at the time we entered – and he kept arguing. At one point, I think my mom even smelled beer on him….he just became a very angry man and started swearing and literally pushing us out. I kept telling him there are children around and he should mind his language and that we’re leaving, but he didn’t want to listen to me – instead, he called for other workers (assuming bouncers, although I can’t imagine bouncers needed for a place or time where young children are around), and they kept physically pushing us out, all of us, me, my mom, my brother, my dad, my husband….thankfully our kids hid behind my sister. We kept saying stop pushing us, we’re leaving, stop touching us, stop swearing there are children around – but the manager wouldn’t listen, instead, he picked on my brother to focus on. As they physically kept pushing us out, the manager then continued to instigate by saying things to my brother like “your sister has more balls than you, I’d like to see her in action”. Who says things like that to family people with young children round watching, especially when they’re leaving – doing what you wanted? That was really uncalled for. Of course, it seemed obvious that the manager just wanted to literally start a fight. No man, brother or husband, would accept that kind of talk about the women of the family, and the fight started. However, as peaceful as we were trying to be, at one point, there were around 4-5 of the “bouncers” and the manager all kicking and punching my brother while he was on the floor. Our children are traumatized and don’t ever want to go to ANY arcade game again – they were scared to death as they watched their dad and uncle get abused like that in front of our family, our kids, other families and other children watching.To top it off, after we finally all broke up the fight, and as my family went down the escalator, away from it out – AGAIN the manager instigated, calling out things over the railing loudly saying “Tell your sister I’ll be there to pick her up at 2am! She’s got more balls than you and I’d like to enjoy her! Tell her I’ll be there at 2am!”If we have left, WHY do you need to shout MORE instigating disrespectful things to my family like that? Is that how you handle even the good family folks that come to the arcade? Never going back!

Great place for dates and just an all out fun night. Me and my date enjoyed or time here; I won 1000 tickets on one machine and the food and drinks were affordable.

Really fun to bring the kids.

A bit pricey but fun.

Bartender was great! Had a good time! 2 hole in ones on that course!!!

I was pretty drunk tbh but I remember bits of it being great.

Arcade check, mini golf check, good food check, strong drinks check, Great place with or without kids although, i have not been without them yet. it is a much higher end type arcade, hipster like but we all have fun and it is nice to have an adult beverage while we play mini golf

Celebrated my daughters 16th birthday there with family and friends.

Its a very nice place! So clean, excellent staff and very cool games.

I love this place great for me & my sons, or amazing date night with your partner or friends.

This is fun place for adults and children alike. The mini golf is small but great. The debit card system makes it easy to play games and keep track of your winnings. The selection of games is vast. It is a great place to escape the awful Chicago weather!

Nice and fun games! I love spending time here while waiting for my movie to start upstairs at AMC

Nice barcade, 3 of us played on $25 for quite a while. Pretty good drink selection as well

Fun and waitress was attentive. Its kinda weird how you sit down to eat without any guidance but they immediately helped us so that was good. A good selection of games to play.

Enjoyed their mini golf course & good drinks.

Really cool hang out spot love the games i Made number one on Pac man (qita)

We hosted our company Christmas party here for the last two years and its been a major success each time. They keep it very clean and are quick to keep the private rooms well stocked with food and drinks. The games are fun and I believe not a single person encountered a broken machine last Christmas. Very easy event scheduling, Thanks Gina!

DO NOT order the salad there. Its basically just leaves, strips of baked parmesan and dry thin bread sticks that you need to put together yourself. To be fair, you should prob not order a salad at a bar. However, the staff was kind and bartender was great.

Came here at 11:08pm.. Doorman turned us away because he wants to go home. SUPER GLAD I DROVE OUT HERE NOT.

What a fun experience! The food and atmosphere was on point! The philly cheese steak egg rolls were AMAZING! Thg burger I had was grilled to perfection and the fries were delicious! The games were fairly priced easily comparable to other similar places.

Cool place! Has this giant screen for sports that everyone in the bar area would be able to see. Has a good sized arcade with many games, although we didnt try the mini golf I saw they have that to offer too. Wont be the last time I visit this place.

This place has top of the notch games. The latest and greatest in games. The pacman has a big led screen with 2 simultaneous players. The zombie game has all on it 4d, visual 3d audio, movement, and spray water. The screen is amazing big and with resolution wow cool to watch games and the Oscar. They have live dj time to time. Try the minigolf that have Chicago landmarks. Downside is the price of the place pretty pricey.

Cool spot, all new games, nice bar, kids had a blast!

Needs more unriged claw macines

FTW is amazing!! Definitely one of the best parts of our trip to illinoise. The staff was great and the arcade games were awesome!! Food and drinks were delicious too!

Disgusting customer service - an absolute con. Highly recommend you avoid.

Great time for fun and late night food!

Great place, looks nice and has a good collection of arcade games.

The best place to spend an afternoon. Lots of fun and the food is great. My daughter had her birthday party here and the event planning could not have been better. Great professional staff, both back of house and up front. As my daughter will say every time we visit, Best Time Ever.

Great choices of food and drinks.

Went to FTW on a rainy day to kill an afternoon. We had a great time. The prizes were better than average. The game selection was a little lacking. The mini golf course was way overpriced for just 6 holes but it was fun. Not enough games to take more than a few hours to enjoy.

Not fun. Indifferent service. Expensive drinks. Really loud. Games are a rip off. $2 fee just for a game card. Most games 4+ credits to play.

Arcade check, mini golf check, good food check, strong drinks check, Great place with or without kids although, i have not been without them yet. it is a much higher end type arcade, hipster like but we all have fun and it is nice to have an adult beverage while we play mini golf

Service is nice, games are fun, but they never put enough plushies in the claw machine, and some of the machines are so old that sometimes malfunctions.

Good fun environment, good selection of games, nice old school music, not to costly drinks, for a first time visit i was impressed

Love FTW. This is a great spot to have some fun. Either before/after a movie, combined with some bowling at Lucky Strike, or just on its own. Love to come here especially on a weekday to unwind.

It’s pretty new arcade gaming place but the variety of games are lacking for me personally.

Took my friend here fo her birthday. She absolutely had a blast. Reasonable prices for games, good payouts, cool themes! The gastropub element and steampunk themes makes for a unique arcade expirenece. Parking is close too. Overall we spent 4 houra here hahah. If I liked in mke Id be Broke because of this place. Also, at yhe bar I had a nice server lady and she made a grat Dark and Stormy. Thanks FTW

This place is racist & discriminates against people of color. They wouldn’t let my friend in because he was wearing a jogging suit but let in white people right before us with black jogging pants & then claimed they didn’t see them. My friend wasn’t sagging or anything.

Really fun place, great games and beers, reccomend for anyone looking for a fun night.

Very fun games and no dealing with tokens or cash. It is very easy to spend the points on your card quickly, so your money can go fast. Good food and drinks, but a bit expensive. The space is very clean and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing assortment of games in the arcade. Hours of fun. They lose a star as drinks are overpriced and not strong enough.

We were wearing long pants but they claim we were wearing sweat pants and refuse to let us in while other people are playing inside with wrong dressing code. Racist.

My favorite game in chicago

Good place to relax and play some games. Food and drinks are ok, nothing too special. The mini golf was overpriced, but fun with friends. Overall, it’s a good place to unwind for a few hours.

I ADORE THIS PLACE OH MY GOODNESS! I LITERALLY COME HERE EVERY PAYDAY AND JUST GO NUTS AND RELIVE MY CHILDHOOD.

Super fun place to spend a Saturday night! They have a wide variety of arcade games and the mini golf course is great. There are a number of large TV’s around the bar area and their drink selection is solid.

Slightly boring ...games mostly for kids

So so much fun

Cool games and arcade vibe. Kid friendly until late evening, adult gaming time. As for food, we ordered the chicken/waffles and chicken quesadilla which was cool, nothing spectacular. Wanted to try a few other things that was no longer available from the kitchen so this mightve been better.

Aside from some broken/glitched games the arcade is wonderful. A bit pricey and not a place for very small children its a great spot to impress your friends and have a good time.

Fun and affordable place! Perfect for date night or birthday celebrations

Good beer. Liked the cauliflower pizza crust. And kids had a great time!

My guy and I had so much fun, it was my first time there , and I’ll definitely be back!

Not a bad experience, not quite as big as I imagined it

Pretty fun place. Went first thing in the morning so the overall energy of the place was a little low - including the staff unfortunately. But my friends and I still had a great time. Try the 4 person demolition derby game!

Went in the afternoon for some beers and games. Game selection was disappointing at best. There was a lot of mobile games turned into arcades. Crane games, driving simulators and gun games with guns that werent calibrated. As for the pac-man game, the joy stuck was unresponsive and it was just horrible. The place was clean and the beer selection was good, BUT the beer tasted skunky and like they havent cleaned the lines in ages. I didnt get any food but it looked good. Will not visit again, but if you do go, the $20 game card is enough to last an hour. Youll want it to be over faster than you can spend it. also, NO retro games besides pac-man. So dont bother if youre looking for some retro fun.

Bowling, movies, minigolf, and an arcade like dave and busters. Has it all as well as a bar and lounges

The wait staff is SLOW. Just go to Dave n Busters. This place to TOO expensive.

One of the coolest places Ive been in a while! Definitely a must visit location in Chicago.

Fun. Good games. Decent prizes. Good food. Cool decor. Clean. We go often. Spend 25$ waste 2 hours. Leave happy.

Amazing place with tons of games, good beer and affordable !

Delicious, gourmet food and expertly crafted drinks combined with arcade games and mini golf. What more could you ask for? This is the perfect place to let your inner child run wild while drinking and eating like an adult.

Very fun atmosphere. Great arcade for the kids.

Games were just ok - mostly knock off brands. Many of the machines were broken. The food there was pretty good though and they made solid drinks.

BO-RING! Its a copy of Dave & Busters without the kids running around and slightly better food and mini golf. But you gotta pay to play (more than you think using those cards) and no video arcade machines like at HQ. For me, arcades like HQ, Logan Arcade, and Emporium are much better.

Loads of fun!! Something for everyone!

Its a good spot for some drinks and games. Great for a stop after watching a movie.

I love this place. Its a great place to have fun gaming. They have a very good bar menu and the food is nice too. The only problem with this place and of course any other place in Downtown chicago is the parking. The parking is expensive. But, It is in a building as AMC river east and the bowling place. This place is fun.

Had fun with my grandkids. Love the giant connect four.

Awesome place to hangout with friends. Also their blueberry splash cocktail is really good. If you are a cocktail person then you must try it.
