Game Room at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel

The Game Room at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel is one of the property’s most lively and unique spaces, blending historic charm with playful entertainment. Originally the building’s billiards room when it operated as a private men’s club, the space has been transformed into a welcoming social hub open to guests and visitors alike.

Designed to reflect the spirit of old athletic clubs, the Game Room features dark wood interiors, vintage details, and a relaxed, club-like atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of classic games, including billiards, shuffleboard, bocce ball, chess, and foosball, along with nostalgic favorites like skeeball and Pop-A-Shot basketball.

Beyond the games, the space functions as a full-service bar and restaurant, offering casual, shareable food inspired by classic concession and street fare, alongside craft cocktails, beer, and wine. The combination of food, drinks, and friendly competition creates a vibrant, social environment that appeals to both hotel guests and locals.
