I would love to see the electric bill - I can only imagine what it must be for the largest arcade…read morein the world with over 850 playable arcade cabinets. Speaking of, how wonderful is it that this place exists? Far too many modern places are drink-focused enough that games have cup-holders, the games themselves have giant, modern LCD screens with the brightness and color turned way up, and all this for about $1.50-$2.00 a game that lasts a minute, 90 seconds at best, and does not require much skill (with alcohol, I suppose they want something winnable even while a little inebriated). This is to say nothing of the games where the goal is to win tickets to exchange for prizes - don't get me started on the shenanigans at play. Galloping Ghost has arcade games where a simple joystick and a couple buttons is all you need. There are some older shoot the screen games, and other retro games as well. Let's say that none have a modern, flat-screen, and all are old enough to use CRT (Tube) Screens. Given their age, the games are kept in very good shape! I also love that Galloping Ghost is about the love of the games, and not about the love of liquor with games being an excuse to drink. There are bottled sodas available for sale, but not cup-holders, alcohol, or food. Even gum is forbidden. This also has the effect of being a community icon! When I visited, there was a gathering of furries (not something I engage in, but power to you!) I haven't even gotten to the best part: $25 for all day, all-you-can-play access. Open from 11am to midnight (or 2am Friday & Saturday night). The ticket allows you access throughout the day, so you can come and go as you please. Better still, an extra $5 gets you access to all-you-can-play pinball a couple blocks down the street. Also a good selection of fun machines somewhere between retro and modern Stern. Final verdict: While Chicagoland has some arcades with free-play, and some even don't require an entrance fee, these, despite a modest selection revolve around booze. Galloping Ghost is a dying breed that exists to test your skills, maybe set a record if you're that good, and hang out. All this, for a very reasonable entrance fee.

I'd say 4 1/2 because all the kids seemed to have 10 tokens left on their arcade cards and you…read morecan't combine two cards to get 15 tokens which was the least amount. So maybe make something 10 and even 5 tokens because no kids wants to leave anything behind. Adrianna and AJ were so great! And we had a birthday party for my daughter's 10th. She was over the top happy with how well the party went. Accept those darn arcade cards. But all around great food, great service, equals a great time. Shout out to our server Monica as she really was a great hostess and took care of us. And another guy kept our drinks fresh and cold but I don't know what his name was. I'm thinking of some kind of fundraiser so I can use them again. Thank you Bowlero from the front door to the kitchen crew. Well done !!!!!

So then I ordered nachos after I asked did they have them only to be told that they didn't and a refund was issued. I was here my kids birthday. Let's start with Jake the kitchen manager who said the only thing they have in the menu is pizza, chicken tenders and fries. My kids wanted Icee. So I gave them money to go wait in line and purchase them. While waiting in line manager Miguel looks past them and takes the 6 white kids behind them. I don't like to do the race thing however when I went up there his response was I didn't know they had money. This is the most racist, unprofessional place I've ever been to. Please don't waste your money here.

First off, this is a 5-star movie, and somehow we were the only people in the theater. Completely empty. No crying kids, no chatter, no distractions. Was I confused? A little. Complaining? Absolutely not. I was thrilled. The theater itself is very clean and well-maintained. The sound is excellent, the 3D effects are impressive, and the brightness of the screen is just right--clear, crisp, and very easy on the eyes. Honestly, the movie space alone made the experience feel premium and inviting. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. That said... the beer prices? $18 for one beer? Respectfully--no. Hard pass. I'm very glad I stopped at Hooters beforehand for a reasonably priced one. Some things just don't need to be that ambitious. Concessions were a mixed bag. The popcorn was extremely salty, and the beverages were flat, which was disappointing. But in the grand scheme of things, the actual movie-watching experience is what matters most--and that part delivered. All in all, a quiet, comfortable, high-quality viewing experience. Empty theater, great sound, great visuals. I'll take that any day.
