If your buddy is a gamer, you can't go wrong with the Emporium Arcade Bar. With two locations, one in Wicker Park and one in Logan Square, this bar/arcade has a variety of games to choose from. From classic pinball and video games to traditional table games, there is literally something for everyone. Although the Wicker Park location doesn't serve food (the Logan Square has various food trucks on different times), they do allow you to bring in your own food — just make sure you clean up after yourself.

Cobra Lounge
235 N. Ashland Ave.
Chicago, IL 60607

What about if the groom-to-be is a hard rocker? Since 2006, Cobra Lounge has touted itself as the place for showcasing regional and emerging bands. Located next to Union Park, Cobra Lounge also plays host to a variety of music festivals, including the Riot Fest & Carnival. Aside from the great music, Cobra Lounge also serves a wide variety of food, with a mix of burgers, salads and sandwiches to choose from. Add drink specials to the mix and you've got a great start to the night.

What do you do if the groom tells you he just wants to sit back, relax with a few cocktails and eat some good food? You could try taking them to The Orbit Room on North Califorinia Avenue. The low red lights give off a warm, intimate atmosphere while the faint sounds of garage, punk and rock-a-billy play in the background. Order a custom cocktail or a locally brewed beer, then munch on a specialty burger or pizza. It's like a cozy house party outside of the house.
