This was such a cool experience. My boyfriend and I found this place on a whim when we didn't know what to do last night in chicago. Luckily, reservations were still available to book out a table so we ate before our 7pm reservation. The waitress was super sweet and helpful when I asked for recommendations- I wish I caught her name! The buffalo egg rolls and the Diablo pizza were so good! We also got some beers and the espresso martini as well as the pong star martini which were both strong but super flavorful! (DANGEROUS!) haha Such a cool vibe, tables lined up, and dim lighting for a cool pool hall vibe but classy almost! Def recommend for a fun night. Reservations are for 55min!

The only reason I am giving this place a 2 is because the ping pong tables were functional and there was a VERY friendly staff member which helped our party of 4 in the back by the game tables. We came here on Friday 12/22/2023 to celebrate my friend's birthday. We had a reservation which was made in advance. Once we arrived we found 4 staff members at the front desk. Unfriendly demeanor is an understatement. After pulling up our reservation we presented a "90 minute" ping pong on us coupon which the venue hands out liberally. The coupon we presented was obtained on a prior visit. The staff at the front desk didn't acknowledge the coupon and we were told we couldn't use it because the reservation was made in advance. I pointed out to the staff that the print on the paddle states "for advanced bookings of up to 6". They proceeded to state that this was not for reservations and only for walk ins. We decided to not press on this even though we weren't provided with a satisfactory answer. Ambiance in the game room is fun. Good music and friendly staff. We didn't order food so I can't comment on that. We ordered a bucket of beers and the waitress opened all the bottles even though we only requested 4 to be opened (we had a party of 4). This caused the beer for lose its carbonation. After our paid 60 minutes of game time was over I decided to "walk in" to the front desk and presented the 90 minute coupon with a request to play. The same staff at the front desk couldn't refute the coupon this tome so they begrudgingly extended my play time. This venue has a lot of potential but unfriendly staff at the front desk make the venue hard to enjoy. I will not be returning. Management should either get rid of the coupons or appropriately train the staff..... in addition to providing customer service coaching.

This place is awesome!!!! I decided to take my office there for the Fiscal Year Party and they laid it out for us. Booking the room was easy and the communication was seamless!!!! Picking the food was an easy process as well!!!! Our group was about 65 people and it was more than enough space!!!!! If you're looking for a place to take a group in the heart of downtown then this is your place!!!!

Their weekday happy hour specials cannot be beat in the Loop! Plus the ping pong is pretty fun too (pay per person per hour). Definitely check them out for a great time!I'd recommend a reservation as they can get fairly busy after work depending on what day of the week it is. When my group went on a Thursday we were able to get in without a reservation around 4:30pm but when we left around 6 it was very busy and likely a wait. We had a blast and did not feel rushed though. This will be my offices go to happy hour spot from now on!

A space for office battles, friendly competitive gatherings, or a casual date spot, it's got it all for a good time. A bit loud so not ideal for intimate gatherings but great for good vibes and plenty of options for liquid courage. Bring your competitive spirit and battle out on a plethora of games to choose from there will be something for everyone that's ready to showcase their mediocre basement warrior talents. Less ideal for above average to serious game play as it's dark and space confined in some spots so be warned try-hards, this place may not be for you. Easy to spend a few hours here with smiles across the board and decent food options though not the greatest, has potential after a few rounds of intoxication. Stay thirsty mother suckers

Saturday brunch at AceBounce is the place to be! Lemme telllll you - I cane here and definitely had a ball. Brunch here is not your standard boring get drunk off bottomless and go home. Nope! Here, you can get drunk, while eating all you can eat, playing ping pong and singing karaoke. Now you don't have to do it all at once (but if you do, that's your business. Mmmkay!) Food: I would rate the food a 8/10 but what can you expect when they're dishing out massive amounts of food to feed adults while they're drinking? It's such a large variety of food so if you don't care for something, trust there is something else that will satisfy your stomach needs. They also serve Bellinis, mimosas and bloody Mary's unlimited and refill your cup for you. There's even a cute Bloody Mary station to build your own! Service/ staff: top tier. I pray Christee reads this because sis did get thaaaang to make sure my girls and I were out of our seats. AceBounce wants you to be active and engage and meet new people. Like don't come to look cute (but again if you do that's your business). I would say come to have fun and show someone a good time! There's no doubt about it that I'll be returning with a larger group of people. $60/pp is well worth it.

AceBounce is a fun, lively spot downtown that offers ping pong, shuffleboard, karoake, and other fun activities and games. It's a great place to bring a big group! My friends and I stopped by for the Rise and Dine Bottomless Brunch and had a fantastic time. The buffet menu included Waffle Lollipop, Raspberry Beignet Bites, Chocolate Hazelnut tarts, Breakfast Pizza, Margherita Pizza, and Frittatas (loved these). As for drinks, the staff had our cups filled with mimosas and Bellinis. There was also a Bloody Mary bar for the savory drink lovers. The staff was so friendly and made sure my group was always having the best time. Shoutout to Neil and Krissy who got us hyped for karoake and helped keep score during our ping pong games. However, the only thing that prevented this from being the best experience was my lack of interaction with the sales team that manages reservations. I needed to make a change to the number in my party and I had a hard time getting a hold of the sales team, despite a handful of calls and e-mails. Although the decrease of the party size was acknowledged through email, I was not able to discuss pricing alteration with anyone even though the change was made 48 hours prior to reservation. I hope that this was a one off experience, but I recommend that others be wary of this if making a reservation here for a group.

This has got to be one of the most fun group outings I've had! Please make this one of your destinations for brunch this summer. The brunch buffet was decent.. nothing too crazy, but definitely satisfying. The staff were so friendly and involved! They made sure they grabbed us for group games (with other tables) and karaoke. It's so much fun and I will definitely be going again. Especially because I won a free 90min ping pong game during my visit ;)

Fun date night or group activity. I've also been here for an event that you pay for in advance. Pretty cheap for ping pong, pricier when it comes to food but I love their appetizer sampler. Also great areas for photo ops.
