Craving something new at your bar hang?
This weekend, I will be checking out Electric Shuffle, a new bar, restaurant and game venue.
The big picture: Electric Shuffle, a UK-based company founded in 2015, opens Friday in River North (488 N. LaSalle Dr.) for anyone in search of adding some friendly competition to their nights and weekends.
- The entertainment venue puts a modern spin on the classic game of shuffleboard.
How it works: The retro-themed bar serves pizza, truffle fries and other snacks to munch on while playing a 90-minute game.
- Tables can also be linked together for a tournament-style event or for larger parties.
- In addition to the food and games, guests should expect DJs playing music from the '70s to today.
Reality check: Not familiar with the rules of shuffleboard or never played before?
- Electric Shuffle's Gene Ball shared a tech-savvy tutorial that guides players through the game, tracks scores on a live leaderboard and offers a fun selfie feature.
If you go: Electric Shuffle opens tomorrow and you can reserve a table now.
- Open Monday-Thursday, 3-11pm, Friday 3pm-1am, Saturday, 11am-1am and Sunday 11am-11pm.
