About

Replay Lakeview is open daily from 11am to 2am, making it a great spot for a daytime game session or a late night out. The bar is packed with vintage arcade games, pinball, giant Jenga, and second-hand video game consoles you can play while you drink.

The crowd here is a mix of gay and straight, mostly in their 20s and 30s, creating a friendly and unpretentious vibe. Outdoor seating is available when the weather cooperates. A minor gripe: there aren't many spots to set down your drink while you play. Stop by Replay Andersonville or Replay Lincoln Park for similar fun in other neighborhoods.

Located in Chicago's Northalsted neighborhood, one of the city's main LGBTQ+ districts.

“The games are fun, the staff is great, drinks are reasonably priced”

The games are really fun! Combining gaming, drinking, and socializing works perfectly. The staff is excellent. My only complaint is that there aren't enough surfaces to set drinks on while playing games. I strongly recommend this place and plan to return.
