Excellent place to celebrate my son's birthday. Kids had a blast and adults did too. Our server was super nice and friendly. 2nd year celebrating my son's birthday here. Like always he had a blast with his friends. Adults had good time wstching the game, eating and drinking as well. Hopefully we return next year.

We had my son’s birthday party at Ignite and it was amazing. There was almost nothing I needed to do. We showed up and the kids got bracelets for the arcade. After the hour they came back to our reserved atea and ate pizza and gamed. It was pretty much my son’s perfect party. And the other kids had a great time. I have a feeling we’ll be repeating for his next birthday!!

You'll never run out of space at ignite gaming in skokie! The place is huge with two gigantic rooms filled with every kind of game you can think of and more! It reminded me of a HomeTown carnival when I was a kid only on steroids! Ignite arcade also had a whole room full of interconnected gaming with a team approach playing against other teams all around the world pretty fantastic Space age stuff! The food and drinks were good and moderately priced! I also like the dichotomy of an arcade with a modern 21st century gaming housed in an 18th century industrial setting!

Booked a party for my kids birthday, the whole process was just a breeze! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The guests were really happy kids and adults! There are a lot of fun games to play. I will be returning to Ignite for future events and just for regular play.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!
