The Party "Restaurant" for Horrible People
We all know the offensive, risqué, often politically incorrect, but terribly funny game Cards Against Humanity. Well, with their newest release, they have entered the restaurant and bar industry. And what better place to venture such a mix than right here in Chicago? That’s right, the “party game for horrible people” has just opened the “Chicago Board Game Café” at the border between Logan Square and Bucktown.
The restaurant, which was supposed to open January 10th but has had several delays, finally opened last month. The restaurant portion of the venue boasts cuisine from Spain, Vietnam, and Mexico. And a private table costs $30 per person, but this goes directly toward any food and drinks purchased.

In addition to the restaurant, there will be dozens of board games for trying and residents experts on deck to teach you how to play them. In addition to the game play at the tables, there are also two escape rooms on the property too. While the Cards Against Humanity “Chicago Board Game Café” might be gaining the most traction, it’s not the first of its kind. Locals attribute “Geek Bar,” which was in Wicker Park, to be Chicago’s first board game restaurant. But since its closing in 2016, Chicago Board Game Café is on its way to being the most popular. Reservations are typically booked for two hours, but they have private rooms for events as well.
It makes sense that Chicago would be home to the first Cards Against Humanity restaurant, as the makers of the game are high-school friends from the Chicagoland area. Let me know what you think of it!
