It's my absolute favorite place (and, as a Texan, I'm picky about tacos). Best evening out: Tacos and whiskey at big star followed by 1) Fancy drinks at violet hour across the street or 2) beer and arcade games at emporium.

Arcade bars are like strip clubs for nerds, I spend way too much money at them and my wrist is sore by the time i pass out

Gross. I've never been to an arcade bar. I hear there's one in DC somewhere, but Metro is so awful that I rarely bother going out. If the on in Chicago has the 8-player X-Men game, though, I'm in.

I've recently gotten word about a bar with batting cages. Officially counting the days till I return to the glorious land that is the midwest.

Easily the greatest arcade game of all time. The simpsons arcade game is obviously a close second though.

Don't know about the rest of you but I wanna make my 3 semesters of art history count.... in pub trivia.

There are quite a few current 1Ls that go to a bar up in Old Town for pub trivia if you want to be around other NU people, and there are several other bars in the area that do trivia as well if you don't.

Bro, bro, seriously... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_% ... eo_game%29

Golden Axe is still totally legit. The guy's name is "Ax Battler." Co-op Sega games were a pretty integral part of my summers in elementary school.
