A new bar-arcade with around 85 games is to open later this month at a music and community space in Chicago, Illinois, US.

Elston Electric

Elston Electric will feature a combination of both new and retro arcade games and pinball tables. VR games will also be on offer to guests

The new venue is a collaboration between Salt Shed and Logan Arcade, which has operated nearby for more than a decade.

The Salt Shed complex began hosting live music in 2022 and has since opened a taproom, retail spaces and a rooftop bar and lounge.

The new arcade will be around three times larger than its original location and will grow over time to house more than 100 games, reports blockclubchicago.org.

The venue will open from 4pm-1am, Wednesday to Friday and 12pm-1am on Saturday and Sunday. It will be closed on Monday and Tuesday unless the wider venue is holding a concert.
