Ignite Arcade

We celebrated a birthday here and it was our first time coming to Ignite. Everybody had such an AMAZING time and the service was so good. I believe Ernie was our host and he did an amazing job, and was super friendly. Planning the event with Sam, the manager was a pleasant and easy experience as well! Staff were super helpful and accommodating. I would 100% recommend planning your events here or coming for a fun time with friends/family!!

Went with some friends after work, they bring the kids here until 8pm then it becomes 18+. Good pub food, fun games, even has desktop availability, go check it out. We were celebrating and did the sword shot so that's a thing.

This place was so cool to stumble upon! The staff is incredibly kind and there’s a ton of fun games. It’s nice that you don’t have to go super far to go to a quality arcade. We found out our points cover the Photo Booth too which to me is a huge plus because they can be such an expensive add on! The food and drinks were also great - I’d recommend the nachos and their potion drinks.

Better than Dave & Busters but please don’t send all Chicagoans here.. we like that this place is nestled in Skokie and has a nice crowd. This is your ideal gaming lounge but with all the fun games you get at dave and busters and carnival type games. While there aren’t many pinball machines if any and not many button mashers, it has everything else you need to have a fun time. There are air hockey tables, ping pong and even pool tables. The arcade features 2 bars and serves up some decent food and fun video game themed drinks. Sometimes they throw lan parties and competitive gaming events here. Also a great place to watch UFC fights. While there aren’t many items you can purchase with your points, the games and things are fairly priced and the point/card system works really well.

You definitely won’t feel cramped at Ignite Gaming in Skokie 😄 The space is incredibly large, with two massive rooms that seem to go on forever 🎮✨ Everywhere you look, there’s something to play - from classic favorites to all kinds of modern games, it really feels like a gamer’s paradise 🕹️🔥 What I loved most is the variety - no matter what type of games you’re into, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained for hours 😎 It’s the kind of place where you can explore, try new things, and never get bored. The atmosphere is energetic and fun, making it perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying some solo gaming time 🎉

We decided to have our TRG Heating & Cooling Holiday Party here..... IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Great place for the team to bring their loved ones and families, truly a great place for ALL AGES. The food was also excellent- highly recommend the HOT HONEY PEPERONI PIZZA! and don't even get me started about the STAFF! THEY WERE SO NICE AND AWESOME! Check this place out for your next gathering big or small they have the room for it all!

We had a great 9 year old birthday party experience here! Sam was very flexible and helpful! We switched our plan a few times and they were very accommodating. Both the kids and the parents had fun! The staff was also very nice and patient with the kids. Really good spot for family parties. The chicken tenders were a very big hit with everyone!

This place is an absolute blast! There’s a huge variety of fun games to choose from, making it the perfect spot for a night out. It’s a great mix of nostalgia and modern gaming, giving adults the chance to enjoy arcade fun without the kids around. The venue is immaculately clean, and the setup is impressive—from classic arcade games to well-organized console stations. The food is delicious, and it’s easy to spend hours here without getting bored. On top of that, the staff is super friendly and provides excellent customer service, which really adds to the experience. Whether you’re coming with friends or even just going solo, this spot is definitely a must-visit for gaming lovers!
