Dave & Busters

The new outpost of the indoor amusement chain adds over 40,000 sq. ft. of HDTV's, glowing cocktails, nearly 160 arcade games, private event space and sports bar menu of apps, burgers and tacos to the Pearl District of Rosemont. It's Vegas-lite for kids, laugh-out-loud fun for adults playing air hockey, racing and shooting games, and high-tech carnival-type games of chance. The menu is over the top (burgers with three types of bacon); features mash-ups of popular bar food (e.g. a "pizzadilla"); and many massive shareables like "Mountain o' Nachos." There are also steaks, pasta and some seafood choices as well as a handful of salads if you don't want to go over your calorie count for the next three days. Kids can wear themselves out in the arcade while parents sip Glow Kones containing a flashing cube that may help Junior locate Mom or Dad.
