Reviews of WhirlyBall Chicago
Leslie Carrigan
Came here with coworkers for a private event. The catered food was good, service kept our drinks full, and we had so much fun! I’d recommend getting the other game(s) to keep people busy while they are not on the whirlyball court.
Michael Joseph
Had a lot of fun here for our company Holiday Gathering! Lots to do, awesome staff, great food and drinks; and the whole vibe is welcoming and up beat! It was my first time visiting and playing and I'd love to check out some of the other offerings again in the future! Add this place to your list
Ilayda Buyukdogan
It was my first time, I love bumping cars, basketball and beer so I thought this is the best place I can find all of them in one place. It was so much fun to play whirlyball. You play in two teams, maximum of 10 people in total. The place and staff are awesome. It has a parking lot, lots if space inside and 2 whirlyball areas as well as bowling, lasertag and pingpong tables.
Kay Forbes
Experience was everything.Server Isaiah was very nice and helpful. Manager Tamya was also nice and assertive when we had a moment of miscommunication regarding our reservation. All in all the team was great and I look forward to booking another event with this location.
Gee Riley
Pretty cool place. Came out for my birthday. Had a few friends with me. We did Whirly ball on the go carts ( i had fun ) and we bowled two games. The food was just ok…overall not bad.. will be back soon
Camryn Allen
I don't feel like we were fully informed of the activity options, and we were a little unsure of where things were or how to order food, etc. but we were able to do a half hour of bowling. Which was definitely fun with a relaxed atmosphere. Food was absolutely great; my kids were very impressed with the wings and I'll be thinking about the fries for, possibly, the rest of my life, haha. Mixture of friendly employees but still a few less than helpful. Overall nice experience, but there was more to do than we were able or informed of. Little expensive but still a reasonable night out for my 3 kids and me!
James Bessenbacher
October 22 we attended a birthday party bash here and we had a blast. The atmosphere was fun & lively. Our server Andre Overton did a fabulous job taking care of all of us. I highly recommend WhirlyBall @ 1825 Webster in Chicago for your next large event. The food was really good too! Jimmy in KC
Linda Ogram
A good place to take a group for an event. Laser tag, bowling and their signature Whirlyball. The staff was attentive and served our food in time to make our scheduled Whirlyball game. They serve a variety of food from pizza to salads. Whirlyball is like playing LaCrosse from bumper cars. It is fast and exciting.
Victoria Nugent
What a blast! Visited for the first time ever for a birthday party group. While a machine or two broke on us and we couldn't play the full amount of people per round, it was great fun. Food "buffet style" was pretty good, and the drinks were also extremely affordable. Lester was a fantastic server and really checked in on all of our party quite often and kept the drinks coming! Great experience - great for a special birthday party of any age.
Josh Benoit
If I could, I'd give 10 stars. Had an event for our company including executive staff. There were 60 of us and it went perfectly. The wait staff was on point and I couldn't have asked for better service, food or fun. Will definitely plan again with WhirlyBall Chicago.
MLW
Booked a special celebration there and had a BLAST! The games are fun, food was good and location was perfect for us. I will say this is NOT a cheap date. But was well worth the money spent.
Djazukas
Fun place to get together with friends. The whirlyball game was a lot of fun. Food is not too good, frozen pizza and soggy sandwiches. But the staff and drinks were pretty good, when they got the order right.
Beth Cerabona
Food isn't great but everything else is! Lots of fun! I play in a league here and love it. Sometimes the cars need maintenance and don't get it but the refs and staff are friendly.
Abhilash V
I attended a team event here. It's a great place for such events. Whirlyball was a ton of fun. Food was good too. And they have laser tag and bowling.
Randall Dyer
Great experience with Co workers: customer service was great food was good!
Ashley D
Had my bachelor(ette) party here with a group of 24. Did an open bar and pizza/salad/dessert package for 3 hours, with 1.5 hours of Whirleyball and 1 round of laser tag. Caitlin was great at helping organize the event. It was so much fun we're all talking about going back again soon!
George Yedinak
We recently hosted our holiday party at Whirlyball Chicago. Communication leading up to the event was ok but felt rushed at the end given last minute logistics On the day of the event we experienced being put in one in part of the venue with our food in another part. The experience playing Whirlyball was not so great as our team was verbally chastised by a staff member like they were children. Food package was not replenished timely nor was communication and coordination on-site any good. The servers were attentive but were trying to serve too many other parties and groups. Our team had fun with Whirlyball until our lecture and the bowling was good. The event and activities served the purpose but our experience was less than terrific.
jane val
Have been here twice this year for different events. One was for their open house and one was for their Christmas in July event.
WhirlyBall is a place where adults can act like kids again.
Not only can you play WhirlyBall (similar to basketball played in bumper cars), but, you can bowl, play video games as well as larger versions of popular board games.
You can also relax, have a drink and watch sports on their many large screen TVs, and have a bite to eat.
If you have an event or special occasion such as birthdays, meeting, team events, etc. This is a One-Stop location. They can also arrange to cater food for you, which runs from Pizza, burgers, beef sandwiches to all kinds of sweets.
They have their own parking lot and there is street parking available on the side of the building.
Such a fun evening for everyone!
Warda Shafi
I went there with my family and had an amazing time.To my surprise the food was really good, and we did not book and even so we could just pay the walk-in prices and play.We bowled for an hour and then played two games of whirly ball. Definitely something you should do with your family.For someone who likes to drink, this place has a huge selection of draft beers and full fledged bar with everything available.
Tyrell Shoemaker
Great time and decent price if your group is big enough! Nice drink selection too! Lots of large TVs to be able to keep up with the latest sports. We didn't do any bowling but the lanes looked nice! Great space, lots of room to move!
Aria N. Wint
Fun place. Food was good - tried tacos and chips/salsa. Whirlyball is great, decent bowling lanes too.
Angélica Hernández
We had a great event at the meeting room with a nice variety of good quality food and plentiful and enough assortment during the duration of our presentation. Being able to have a team activity after was a plus that all the attendees enjoyed a lot!
Lashaun Price
Today I took my daughter to Whirlyball Chicago for a birthday party laser tag birthday party there it is. The kids had a great time and the adults hung out in the lobby on the second floor and had cocktails and a light lunch while the kids played we had a great time as well. The food was very good and a nice variety always have a great time when I come to this facility.
Sree Sreenivasan
We didn’t do the WhirlyBall itself as we were only three (you need four), but still had a good time - the food was good and better than most bowling alleys. We played shuffleboard and were quite happy. The family celebrating a 60th birthday seemed quite happy!
Paul Miller
Our office had a corporate event here for our staff and everyone really enjoyed themselves. They have something for everyone to enjoy, and the food and staff was great. Will definetly go here again!
Pooja Naik
What a fun spot for indoor activities and gathering with friends. Love their whirlybowl bowling! Especially if bumper cars is not your thing. And a hidden patio upstairs with great chicago views. Food is great, Buffalo cauliflower wings all the way!
Autumn Shippy
So many activities: bowling, lazer-tag, whirlyball, games, and even a roof-top patio! The staff were so friendly and fun to interact with! Great for big groups (10+)
James Brendel
Great place for 15 y/o boys birthday party. Great time, perfect menu for a party. Staff is very friendly and attentive.
Scott Wagner
So much fun. Would highly recommend more than an hour of Whirlyball and to arrive early so you can get a quick bite and drink before playing.
mfleet 78
Staff was very good (and quick). Had fun there and first time playing whirlyball. Will be returning in the future!
maeve alison
Me and my group didn’t even get to play whirly ball. We accidentally booked our time for bowling. The lady at the front desk said she had a time at 5, but by the time she was getting it set up someone booked it online apparently so we didn’t get to play. She told us laser tag was available whenever we wanted to go, but after we bowled another lady told us it was booked for another 3 hours. The food was ok. They should organize the online and walk in booking better.
Sean Blair
This is a great place to take a group - the mashup between lacross and bumper cars is a great time. The per-person cost isn't bad either. They also offer bowling and laser-tag.
The food is suprising actually. They have the best fries I've had! The wings are good as is the flat bread.
You won't save money on food and drinks though. Beer pretty much starts at $7.
The only things I would improve:
- Service is slow, probably to be expected, but it could improve.
- Seems like the scoring is manual... We ended up having to keep score ourselves unfortunately. If scoring is not manual then the automated scoring on court 2 is flakey. Detracted from the experience a bit.
Virginia Glover
I took my kids here for his birthday party. The customer service was not as I expected but at least my son and his friends enjoyed their time here
Shelsy
Great service, place is super clean and they have hand sanitizer everywhere! Can't forget all the TVs for the football games. Definitely a family funday spot!
Dennis Cardoso
No matter if it's your first time or your tenth time playing Whirlyball, one always has fantastic fun. It is literally one of those activities, where you can't stop smiling the whole way through. Oh yeah, this facility offers bowling and laser tag, too. Great fun all around, with a full bar, good food and plenty of space and televisions for keeping up with sports. Lots of fun for groups large and small.
Margret hendrick
I had a great time here. The staff are friendly, and accommodating. Our school staff had rented out the location for PD Development Day
Sam Keske
Nicest spot for Whirley Ball on the northern side of town, with plenty of other options for the less violent. Surprisingly impressive tap list, with 25 eclectic, mostly local/regional beers on tap. Makes other Whirley Ball places look second-hand.
Nino Arobelidze
Called about the rates and hight requirements- their phone Custumer service is spot on despite them being overwhelmed by the background noise. We’ll definitely stop in when we’re tall enough 🙃 …
Bonnie Beta
Great staff and great for group parties. Upstairs bowling was intimate and Whirlyball is always fun. You WILL be sore the next day.
Michelle R
So fun! Whirleyball was a great time! There is also bowling, bags and a ping pong table.
David Hong
Literally the perfect place for group events. Whether it's a corporate event, birthday, or holiday celebration, you're bound to have a lot of fun over here.
Tanya Flores
Attended a training there! Really liked the venue! There was great food and plenty of parking!!!
Isaac Lester
We threw our company holiday party here and I have to say you guys, it was a phenomenal experience!
I went in on more than a negative mindset but literally moments after I walked inside I felt that "I'm not just working here, I actually want you to have a great time tonight" vibe from every single staff member that I interacted with. That alone changed my attitude and allowed me to enjoy the night.
As for the venue overall: very spacious with a few spots to talk quietly with a date but it's still a great spot to bring the whole family, crew and entourage as you sit for some drinks, enjoy some absolutely delicious churros and demolish your boss in bowling!
Special thanks to the Servers Ryan and Niecy for playing a more than integral part of making my night an enjoyable experience; these good, hardworking people deserve a raise, or a day off, or both!

Great place for Whirlyball fun with a group of 10, but BEWARE.... you CANNOT take your extra food home. We ordered a lot of food for variety, but had enough left over to feed 15 people and the manager said “there’s a law against taking food home that’s been sitting out because they will be liable if we get sick.”
Well Stephanie who took our event food order sure didn’t mention that, or even when we ordered 3 extra pizzas on top of our package minimum. So I feel like they just not only wasted food, but also our money.
Luckily there was a group who didn’t order food, and they were happy to have our leftover.
But would have been nice if Whirlyball made this clear at the beginning, or time of contract.
Amy Warner
It was fun, but kinda pricey! Staff wasn't very friendly and didn't explain the game well or give us fair timing. For the amount you pay, they really should give you your full amount of game time.
Charlene Henry
The place was nice I only gave it 4 stars because they need lighter balls for the kids to bowl with the balls was too heavy for them to use. It's great for kids & adults
Jameson Jurek
Fantastic place to plan a child's birthday party. We were there for WhirlyBall this year and laser tag last year. They also have bowling and other activities.
Tod W
I went here for an event that Shriners hospital was having with the actors from Chicago Fire. Everyone that I came in contact with Every Employee was super nice and asked of the could help me. They did no questions asked. Thanks Whirlyball for making this day extra special not only my daughter but all the special needs kids that were there.
Annie MacKerell
Had a great time and fun night out with my coworkers. I had never been before but the game was so fun! And we even ended up tying between the two teams so we all left winners.
Kalzzz
Food is good here with a good selection of drinks. Had lot of fun bowling and playing whirlball... it is a fun thing where you drive around in a dash car at the same time trying to make a goal!
Conceited Meka
It was a great experience for a sweet 16 birthday party
Brother Bro
Overton is the best server my party could ever have he really went far and beyond just to accommodate us and was very quick and on time and it went so well. Whirlyball is such a fun amusement it’s like bumper-cars,lacrosse, and basketball Whirlyball also has bowling lanes.
Heidi Olson
Games were fun and staff very friendly. Good bonding expedience for my workplace. Food was only mediocre.
Oz Correa
The place was clean and the staff was really nice. The alleys have comfortable couches to sit on while bowling. Would definitely go again.
Alberto Botello
It was there for the first time and it was a great experience to be there and it was fun for adults
Barbara Benitez
Love it we had a gathering the waiters are so nice and always available and the food delitious
LaTrice Johnson
Had fun with my daughters and their boyfriends and the game no experience for us very competitive caught the ball many a times didn't think I would have made one score would love to do it again
Luke H
Great experience with Whirlyball. One of the carts had trouble but the issue was quickly fixed.
Trudi Bee
So so much fun!! Great for team building and company events or just getting together with friends and family
Leora List
Fun place to go with the family you can play whirlyball, laser tag, bowling
A A (APRIL)
Couldn't find any open lanes anywhere else so decided to come in on a Saturday afternoon paid $85 for 1 hour. Everything else was booked but we managed to have a good time.
MzShawny W
You can't go wrong with a visit to Whirlyball! Its fun for all ages for a nice family day out or an adults only group outting.
Nightbat 19
Great activities and food. The service was amazing. Had so much fun. Would recommend.
Aldriene Estacion
cool place for group activities: whirlyball, laser tag, bowling, drinking, watching big screens
Angela Stampley
Had a blast. The food was ok. Atmosphere was awesome!
Andrew Ebert
Had a lot of fun here. Staff was friendly and really made our time great here. Would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't played WhirlyBall to give it a try.
Blanche Campbell
Took my babies to enjoy they birthday and they had so much fun doing it! I would most definitely take them again the people were polite and understanding and when my baby had an accident they were not rude or anything!
Noemi Lozano
Unorganized party slot but the kids had fun.
Andre Grady
This was absolutely a great time. Will definitely visit again.
Anand Shelat
If you’ve never tried this sport then it’s an absolute must while in Chicago. Came here with a few friends and absolutely had a blast unfortunately didn’t get pics since I didn’t want to be on my phone and driving :0). Great place for fun. A bit of a ways out from downtown is my only issue.
Joana
Every time we visit is a great time. Love WhirlyBall
K. C
The games are really fun. Drinks were good and the food is decent.
Dyson Ingley
So much fun! The food was good and the wait staff were excellent.
Grace Pedersen
Lots of fun activities and overpriced food and drinks.
Trav Smith
This is a great facility. There is ton of space for Whirlyball, balling and more. I definitely would suggest this to anyone - fun and different.
Julio Guerra
1st & foremost this place is 1st Entertainment. The atmosphere here 2nd to none . the eating areas are always cleaned , the food is delicious. . As a former employee myself. I want to send my deepest condolences to the family of a special Boss: Sam. My brother Carlos & my self were truly honored & privileged to have have worked for him . stay blessed .
G Suarez
Went bowling here. Easy enough to reserve a lane. Decent food with extensive beer list. no problems parking in their lot. Price to bowl was a little steep and they stop you as soon as your time runs out even if you are close to finishing.
George Ramey
Amazing place, laser tag is one for the books.
Angie Magnuson
Honestly I’ve only been through company events so I can’t speak for the price but man is this one of the most fun things you + coworkers or friends do for an hour or 2!!! (Specifically the whirly car activity) Highly highly recommend for events/birthdays. I will say the food isn’t anything to write home about.
Rahul Virmani
Great place for team outing. We all had a great time.
Mario Vankinscott
Super fun and a great workout too
Quiana Green
I always have a great time at Whirly Ball. They have bowling, drinks, food, whirly ball and laser tag. They now also have a rooftop. I love the awesome parking situation that is very hard to find on the north side (they have their own parking lot), the pricing per person per activity is very affordable ($15pp) and the cocktails are good. It's a fun, unique venue. They definitely could use more barstaff though because having one guy at the bar on a weekend is a big no-no.
Eric Benoit
Our server was great to work with, but like a lot of places they seemed to be short staffed. Fun little venue, but good as a one time event
Lisa Todd
It was a lot of fun, workers were very professional, it was really clean, and has great tasting food. Definitely 5 stars love it! 🙂 …
Rachael Babiracki
Think bumper cards with lacrosse and basketball. SUPER fun, esp if you are with friends and people you enjoy. They also have bowling and food and drinks. The food is like pub food, so not great but it works. It's a fun atmosphere and enjoyable activity.
Alysia Sinwelski
I planned a party at WhirlyBall Chicago for my husband's birthday and was very please with the staff and event planners. Carlos was very thorough and did a great job finding a package that fit my needs and my group size. The check in process was easy and everyone was very friendly. Our server, Kevin, was very attentive and even though he was very busy he made sure to stop by often to check on us. Our refs were friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. We had a very positive experience and will definitely return for future events.
William Reigle
A lot of fun for an office outing! Big new space with bowling and laser tag. Multiple private areas can accommodate large groups. Servers were very attentive and friendly; bringing samples of different beers to our table and making recommendations. If you do plan a party there make sure you give your group enough time to get from one scheduled game to the next.
Emily Adams
We came here for my friends birthday! She turned 23 and we played laser tag for an hour with just out party, or was Awesome :) The drinks at the bar were yummy, the servive was friendly and fun, the atmosphere was really cool. We had a great time!
Madison McTevia
Did this for a bachelorette party and it was so much fun! The staff was very friendly and the booking process was easy!
Daniel Breems
I brought my kid to a Birthday party. While I waited I ordered a beer and a harvest salad. The beer was good and the salad came out quickly. It was described as an Arugula kale salad etc. It was tasty but didn't appear to have any arugula in it. I mentioned to the staff that it was very good but that I did not see any arugula. They checked it out and happily replaced it for me. I did notice a few pieces of arugula in the new salad but after the first few bites it was gone. It was a very tasty salad but either they were very low on arugula or they should call it a kale salad. The service was also very good. My kid had a blast at the party playing laser tag.
Amanda Yale
I had to serve 350 people so I called up Whirlyball and they made the whole experience a breeze. I told them the date, time, what I wanted prepared and they took care of all of the rest. I didn't have to stress about anything because their team of professionals took care of it all. Rebecca, Adam, and the events team were excellent and I would highly recommend Whirlyball for parties and catering for large groups of people. The service and food are second to none.
Handy Mandy
This place is amazing. They are the best games to play for team building. Overgrown kids, us adults, are the ones who have the most fun in them. Defenitley brings out the competitive edge. The wait staff could be better. All in all we had fun.
Matt Mottier
Great event place for small to medium offices or sports teams to enjoy an outing together. For a fixed fee per person, you can enjoy food, drinks and games. The two games included the day we went we're bowling and Whirlyball, a combination of lacrosse, basketball and bumper cars. The food was good and the drinks were endless. Fun time for a group outing.
Tanios Issa
Very spacious and clean. I’ve been there few times for WhirlyBall and bowling, had great time for both games. Gave it 5 stars because staffs are nice and very accommodating, we had to make last minute changes due to people canceling and they made sure they make the changes to ensure we’re not overcharged. They have good options of tap beer and food is okay for a Game Center.
Ryan Kent
We had a blast here. We got 2 hours of whirlyball and the beer and wine package. The whirlyball was a ton of fun and the service was great for our group of 30. The space is really nice and has free parking. My only gripe is it's a bit in the expensive side. Still a ton of fun.
Justo Diaz
I've been here twice, both times for company outings. WhirlyBall is great, although I did get stuck in the door and the game had to be paused so that crew people can push out the car. Fun game to play! The bowling alleys are great too. There is plenty of space and bars to wonder about. Would recommend!
Ralph H
Drinks: They have a great selection of beers, so if that is your thing...you will be happy. Mixed drinks, they are ok, but not good enough that I would order more than 1 or 2.
Never played Whirlyball before, but it was a blast. I would say that our ref really didn't care and didn't really hold us to any rules. We had the court to ourselves (4 people). We only used the court of 30 minutes and that was the perfect amount of time.
This location also has bowling. Seemed like this place had 21+, so that made it more enjoyable also.
I recommend this place. It was a fun new experience.
Luis Pelayo
An excellent selection of drinks and bar food. Whirlyball with a group was very entertaining although somewhat pricey. Because teams were made of 5 players each, I would recommend sticking to bringing a group of 10 to avoid spending time switching out players. Servers and referees were incredibly considerate and entertaining.
Jibran Kahn
If you haven’t played WhirlyBall, you haven’t done anything in life.
Tammy Kirksey
First time coming to this place 12/19/21with friends and kids went to the bar and had the best bar tinder name Halina she's awesome if you want a great person go to her she's the best
David M
Super fun. Great beer. Even better food, maybe the best fries I have ever had in my life, crispy, but thick and fluffy in the middle and lightly seasoned. Perfect.
The games are incredibly fun too, bowling, whitrlball, lasertag.
Archit Jha
Fun hangout spot with games and meals for large parties and company outings. Whirlyball is actually fun where lacrosse meets bumper cars. But if that's not your thing, there's bowling, tag and ping pong. Food is nice too and they can arrange a buffet if that's what your party needs. One feedback our group had was on the quality of ping pong equipment. The paddles are worn out and the table is very inconveniently set up in a dimly lit space blocking the way of the staff. Everything else is great otherwise.
Robert Wakerly
Super fun adult playground and activities. Totally new space with great spaces to eat, drink and play. I love the whirlyball-great team building putting! The food is good and there's a large selection of beer, wine and cocktails!
Jocelyn Rasor
Had a blast!! The whirlyball is quite addictive!
Phillipe DeLaMothe
great time for groups. they also have packages and a rooftop which I had no idea about. 2 bowling alleys and plenty of parking. it takes a little bit of time to learn how to stear the bumper car and throw the ball but everybody has the same learning curve. recommend.
Eddie Moreno
If u into bumper cars you will enjoy the spot. 8 bowling lanes. Bar staff under trained but they do measure the drink exact amounts. Beer menu vast with 1 beer costing between 6 and 10$ plenty of parking. Young weird kid checks ids at the door...
Suzanne Bustamante
Great fun. I would recommend doing this with a big group. If you haven't been to whirlyball, get a group of 10 or more and have a blast. The food is good and the beer selection is very good.
Chanel-Cheri Mercier
I visited this location back in Dec 2017. The place looks great. Alot of space. Clean and well-kept. My family and I played 5 games of WhirlyBall but paid for 3....because the guy allowed us to keep playing. That was very nice of him. They have a small parking lot but street parking is available. Our waitress was the only waitress on the floor unfortunately so we had to be patient as far as ordering and receiving food and drinks. Everything is quiet pricy. There is a large variety of flavored beers. I had a flavored beer...didn't like it. There are like 5 or 6 lines for bowling so plan accordingly. The food was delicious.
Joe Van Deman
I went to WhirlyBall as part of a company event--and we had a blast. It was a great evening for our company; a lot of fun had by all, mixed with a little team-building and friendly competition. It's a great activity for a corporate or private party, everyone leaves with a smile on their face! Environment is casual, service was okay, but fit the event.
Gary Keller
We played Whirlyball for an early-day bachelor party activity. What a blast! It was well run and overall a good experience. We also played laser tag and bowling. The laser tag arena is smaller than I'm used to, but still a ton of fun.
As far as some users stating you MUST purchase a food/beverage package with a group booking, that's only partially correct. If you book over a week in advance, you are required to meet a food and beverage minimum (making it quite expensive). However, if you book a week or less in advance, you do not have to book any food or beverages. Not booking those actually made it pretty affordable - with 1 hour of Whirlyball (5 games), 3 games of laser tag, and 2 hours of bowling, it was only $50/person. Pretty reasonable, I think.
The facility is ridiculously clean and the appetizers were great. Drinks a little on the weak side - stick with beer and you'll be good.
Toya Wimberly
Overall, it was a fun time playing but service was a struggle. We reserved the area for Whirlyball and ordered food for a large group. But it's pretty pricey to play and the food was overpriced as well. Another negative was that there was only one waiter working so some people had items on their receipts that they didn't order, some never got their drinks and were charged. It was a mess. They should look into having more people working if large groups are coming.
Scott M
Very fun time there!!! Whirlyball is really fun with a group of people. They only have 6 lanes for bowling and laser tag is really quick. Make sure you call to reserve everything there at least a week prior or else u won't play anything.
Chris Tso
Who doesn't like playing lacrosse in bumper cars?

Good place for family fun. Thru place is not serving food or drinks due to the pandemic, but that's understood. Went bowling for part of my lil sis 30th bday celebration. Clean lanes.
Kevin Rey
Admittedly I am only here for their monthly Beat the Brewer events. Each month a different brewery comes in, specialty kegs in tow, for a showdown with the public. It's free play vs the brewers while you drink their wonderful beers, and there are always gift card and brewery merchandise giveaways. Food is OK and the beer list is great.
Pretty pricey unfortunately. Look to spend $8-10 per beer if you drink craft.

This establishment boasts whirlyball, laser tag and bowling. They offer party packages and food is good. The liquor is top shelf and they even offer special draft beers which I enjoy. Staff is courteous. I enjoyed the whirlyball and the laser tag greatly. Definitely a family environment. Ordered a buffet and food was prepared well. Only issue I encountered was whirlyball playing area is cold and needs heat and carts are falling apart along with the tools to play the game. Must improve that. Otherwise nice experience
Marc-Louis Paprzyca
A fun place for group events. Tons of drink choices with decent food.
The game that gives this place its name, Whirlyball, is an absolute blast. Even the least competitive person gets into it. Add in bowling & laser tag and there is fun for anyone.
The beer and drink list is very large and so is the food menu. I'll have to admit I didn't eat but a couple things and they were just okay. Everyone else's food looked very good and no one had anything bad to say.
This is a fantastic place for big group outings.
Katlyn Anderson
Holly was the best bartender ever! Such a sweetheart. We had so much fun playing whirly ball and bowling♥️
Eric Harrell
Great Sunday fun spent playing whirly ball and laser tag. Can't wait to go back again.
David Kinsey
You wont be stunned by the facility's cleanliness, but what it lacks in visual appeal it makes up for though good times. For those of you who haven't been, Whirlyball is certainly something you need to be able to say you've done. Primarily because it's a lot of fun. Drinks are priced well here, pretty in line with city prices. If you have a couple hours to blow, this is a great place to do it.
Wendy Koziarski
Great staff, facility, and atmosphere. I think they are out of their minds for charging full price for an extra hour of whirlyball when nobody else is there and otherwise they make no money.
Dara Wilson
Had my boyfriends 40th birthday party at the Chicago location last night and it was a blast! We had booked an event and everything ran smoothly. Our server "Junior" was fantastic and on top of it. I will definitely go again.
david castillo
Food is kind of pricey but its good. They have an assortment of apps and pizza. Drink wise they offer a full bar with about 30 taps including lots of local craft beers. The bowling area is nice. Havent tried the whirlyball but i heard its great.
Marco Laure
Great place for entertainment! Great for groups and company parties. You can also play laser tag and bowling. Great selection of craft beer. Really good food. What are you waiting for?
Kesean Walker
Very fun. Full liquor bar. Plenty of activities and bar style food is very tasty. Super comfortable seating and tvs everywhere!come in just for a drink or bring friends and partake in Whirlyball, bowling and laser tag. But it can get pricey real quick so u might wanna check Groupon for deals. If u tryingta to book Whirlyball for a party by default the number of participants must be 10, but u can add more. But if by chance you've added a few more ppl and they flake u have until a week before the party to change the headcount or u'll be stuck with the balance for those ppl. Can't book an activity without paying extra for a food package either. May be different if u just walk in which it was pretty dead when me and my friends made a visit. Very empty. The establishment is huge. Business may have just been slow that day.
Curtis Anderson
Who knew lacrosse on bumper cars could be so fun? I was here for a company event, and we had a blast! The only reason it doesn't have five stars is the drinks are priced a little high ($25 for a shot from a bottle that costs $50 off the shelf).
Michael Kinkoph
Fantastic idea. It's a mix of lacrosse minus the running part 🙂 great beer selection and bar food. Bowling, arcade games, it allows you to be a child while being an adult! …
Adam Eagles
Large selection of beer, something for everyone! I may not be very good at bowling but it is still plenty of fun. I'd never tried whirlyball prior to my visit but it is so much fun!
Crystal J
Great customer service from the waiters there a great spot to go to bowl to eat etc they also have great food clean washrooms
George Michaelson
Free your inner child. It's insanely silly, if whirly ball didn't exist it would be necessary to invent it. Good selection of beers, relaxed staff and referees for when you get a bit antsy on the bumper car floor.
Highly recommended. Great team building or circuit breaker fun. Probably not suitable for really young kids or anyone who doesn't want to make a fool of themselves.
Michael Muzzi
The place is newer looking and the laser tag was fun. it was my first time at the updated location. my only issue is that I bought one drink but left my tab open. when I went to close it after lazer tag I got charged for two drinks. I keep track of my drinks because its not the first time a bartender has added extra drinks onto a tab. I just can't leave my tab open at drinking establishments anymore.
John Belshe
Super fun place, great service, Tamon was great as a ref and giving advice. Great fir events! Wish I knew of this place earlier
Tina Mcgowan
The staff was okay in the bar area. Thibis why I gave 3 stars . No direction on price and where to go to play games. The rest of the other staff was worried about having their own conversation than to greet incoming Guest. Very disappointed.
lavan kumar
When you a sportive bunch of people, go for it. It is super fun and frolic. Needs reservation and almost impossible to get one, by the weekends. Doesn’t need any prior preparation to get into the sport. Make a reservation and walk in.
Brittany Davis
Had a good time my server Ashley was on point very attentive to our party will come back anytime
Edward Bass
We came here with a group of 13, me, my girlfriend and her co-workers. Overall, the experience is extremely expensive because, for a group, you have to purchase a games/food package that came close to $40 per person. The game was fun, but was very expensive and somewhat frustrating considering two things: 1) the length of time you get to play (1 hour) and 2) the fact that the equipment kept breaking down. In each game, one person had a car that would not function, that had to be switched out - in the middle of the game! So one team was down a person for at least one minute of the ten minute game. The food was good, and the craft beer selection is OK. For the cost though? Not worth it beyond trying it once. However, the game itself is a blast when the equipment works, so if you have the opportunity to try it, I say splurge and go for it. But once was enough for me, until it become cheaper to play the game.
Natalie Younger
I had my doubts about this place when they rennovated - sure, it'd look nice but I kind of loved my old dirty, grungy whirlyball. Came for the first time since they moved into the new building and was blown away. We had a large-ish party (about 20-25) with people coming and going, we had a reservation for both laser tag and whirlyball and the staff was very good about getting us where we needed to be and making suggestions for how we could get the most matches out of our hour of whirlyball. I was incredibly pleasantly surprised with the Laser Tag map - it fulfilled my adult-turned-tween laser tag craving to a T. Go do a walk-through if you have your doubts because there aren't really any good photos of the laser tag arena online. Our server was amazing and, while our reservations required us to have a food package, the party-planning team wasn't pushy about getting a higher-price package.
Jazmine Gill
All the mixed drinks come premade so don't get excited about having cocktails here. But my waiter was very nice. It's a very nice atmosphere
Eric Olson
Went here for a bachelor party, the price point was a little high but the bar was nice had a solid draft selection and the whirly ball itself was a lot of fun. The carts don't go very fast but even so you can manage to bruise and wound yourself. Shooting the wiffle ball is a lot harder than it looks, but driving the carts was really a blast.
Sergey Kudakov
I loved the game of whirlyball. It looks exceptionally silly from a side but once you try you see how much fun it is. They also have nice selection of beers and food was pretty descent too. Good place for corporate party/team building
Michael V
Went for a privet party good price for the package. A lot more fun then I thought it was going to be! Waitstaff was. A bit slow but fantastic made sure we got the most out of our package.
Brophy Tolbert
so much fun
fantastic for group and especially work parties. my coworkers and I went here for a holiday party and had so much fun. a little pricey for small groups and difficult for individuals, but great overall
Lori Beard
Was there for a company event. Totally ridiculous fun game. The staff took excellent care of us, the food was good, the beer selection widely varied. I would go again.
Adnan Baleh
Went to WhirlyBall for my company's holiday party. They handled big crowds professionally. We did whirleyball, lunch, drinks and laser tag. We had a blast, nothing but positive comments.
Jean-Benoît Baudens
Whirllyball was fun but the bumper cars are in really bad shape. The beer menu was good but the cocktails were the weakest I have ever had. I question whether there even was any alcohol in them.
Terry Stubbs
Great options for groups to enjoy a variety of activities indoors plus excellent options of food.
Rick Foresee
Whirlyball is an awesome sporting experience. Came to a friends birthday party here a few months ago. The place was packed, but we got on the court right on schedule. Had plenty of time to hang, eat some decent food, and drink some great beers before and after the 1 hour long Whirlyball session. Great prices, great people, great place.
Tom Lu
Our group of 12 had a wonderful time playing whirlyball. It is a unique and one of a kind experience. We found it odd that different refs had different rules. Quite expensive, not an activity you do very often.
Gianne VL
Had a really good time at this place. We got there early , so parking wasnt a problem . They do have a parking lot but it does get packed esp on the weekends. Drinks were ok and the food was awesome .
Emily Kapostas
Whirlyball is great if you have a pre-reserved large group of people to actually play the game. Do not expect to be able to play outside of this situation if you just go with a couple friends, because you will not be allowed to play whirlyball or laser tag. The only thing we could play was bowling, which is overpriced and you could go to any other bowling alley for an at least as-good experience. There is no bar or food service at the bowling alley, you have to walk across the facility to get drinks and bring them back. The service was lack-luster. Will only go back if I am invited to a specific reserved event because the actual whirlyball game is pretty fun.
Christopher Reyes
Had so much fun. Good parking, Nice design. First Time playing whirlyball and had a blast. Just remember car #2 sucks the worst. Other than that drink eat and drive onwards.
Jamie Hendrix
The activities in it self was really fun. We didn't have a great experience at the counter when we walked in. The first associate we spoke to asked us "are you here to bowl or just look around?". I dont believe that's a way to greet your customers. We let her know we wanted to play whirly ball. She said there's nothing open for another hour. Ok, fine. We asked if we could reserve to play at two. She told us we couldn't do walk in reservations but she thinks that laser tag and bowling might be open and passed us off to another associate. All we want to do was get in line for whirly ball! The site didn't indicate you had to call, the 2nd associate said regardless you have to call. But isn't that making a reservation? She said we could pay in advance for 2pm. That was what we were trying to do the whole time. Apologies could've been made or the courtesy of saying sorry for the misunderstanding would've been nice too.
Otherwise, bowling and whirly ball was fun.
Coach “TNN” T
I had great fun. You wouldn't think that you would work up a sweat but you do. The mixed drinks were not strong at all so I switched to shots with juice on the side lol. The food was good. The barbecue wings were excellent. The sauce is really good. The hot wings were not good to me. They also have an egg roll ruben that is so so good had to order another round cuz everyone wanted a taste. The fried pickles sucked. Don't order those. The hot Carmel cookie with ice cream was delish. Also a celebrity sighting. Actor and comedian Hannibal Buress cool guy.
K R Barron
Great game for all ages. Bar is good and food is fair. Nice time
Menahem Deitcher
The worst experience, don't plan your party there. The place is run by people who don't really care about your experience and the manager is always changing and no one gets back to you when you follow up. Too bad because it's a fun place with the right people in charge.
Eddie B
Fun place to go with a big group. It's a goofy activity that's best played after a number of drinks. They also have bowling and laser tag if you're so inclined.
Jess Mean
If you live in Chicago long enough you'll come here for a team building outing or birthday party. The building is located off of an industrial strip of Fullerton and is partitioned off into sections for WhirlyBall, arcade games and laser tag. The facilities leave a bit to be desired (mediocre food, dusty equipment) but the staff is very helpful and after running around you'll stop noticing the shortcomings.
Yihao Jiang
Been here twice for about 2 hours each time, it's been great each time. Mix between bumper cars and lacrosse. It's really tough to score, and the periods are short, but just bumping into other people is a great bit of fun. We've gotten the pizza here too, which is your standard stuff.
Nicholas Daniel
WHIRLYBALL! This is a must for any group event, I went for a bachelor party and playing WhirlyBall was the highlight of the trip. Definitely recommend 8 or 6 people as being ideal for playing WhirlyBall. Food and drink was also good and reasonably priced.
ashantae hardy
The food is great , I had Buffalo wings and a huge burger and fries for about $20. The bowling and whirlyball and laser tag are fun but I went on a Saturday night so it was a 2 wait to play whirlyball but other than that I liked this nice spacious place.
Complex Nye
Overpriced, staff was nice, but it was fun. However, it's $15 for 30 mins of whirlyball, it takes about 15 minutes just to get used to the go-cart..so you only really have 15 minutes of play.
Amalia NietoGomez
The concept of Whirleyball is strange- bumper cars, with a wiffleball that you fling at buzzers with a plastic lacrosse handle. However, it's an absolute blast. We played with friends, and kept going back for more. I've gone several times with different groups, and we've always had fun.
jason bickel
Lots of fun!!! "First time Whirly Baller" ,they weren't super leant on the rules ,which really made it that much more fun. Prices were not extreme even though its Chicago .All and all it was a unforgettable time with friends and family.
arsenio razo
Oscar was our waiter he was very good.
We paid for 2 hours of whirleyball, had constant issues with the cars. Needed to stop the game several times to swap cars they would say they fixed it and bring it back and they had the same issues. Very disappointed in the gaming.
Update****
Talked to the manager I believe David was his name he took care of us after all the issues we had
Kris Saad
Two whirlyball courts, bowling, full service bar. Not the friendliest staff, but a good time if you bring the right people. Creative food menu for a pub type establishment.
Antonio Sosa
Great fun... Had a event here and they took care of us. Had laser tag, whirley ball and food package. Food was great. They were little slow getting drinks but when drinks came they were good.
James D'Angelo
One of the best team activities in Chicago. The new location is more upscale and fancy than the old one, but the game is still the same. They also have a huge beer list and plenty of food (which was OK).
Ahmahd Thomas
Came for a work party. Was a very fun night, whirly ball is difficult but very fun. Bowling is always great and laser tag was amazing just very hot. All in all great night
sri krishna Seshadri
This place has a lot of potential but it is wasted by poor service and maintenance.
Whirlyball as such was a lot of fun but the way the place is maintained and the service is below average.
If they can improve that, this place is a great place to spend your time. Will recommend.
Steve Sobel
Whirlyball is always a great time. It's not the cheapest activity, but it's fun. The new-ish location (probably a year or two old now) is much more modern, clean and upscale looking than the older one with more of a warehouse feel. They also have bowling, laser tag and some other games for those not interested in Whirlyball itself. The food here is better than you'd expect for a place that's focused on entertainment, too!
Patrick L.
Beers are on the pricey side, but the selection is huge. The food is reasonably priced and oh so yummy. Quesadillas were tasty and the sliders were amazing.
Manuel Heilmann
Fun place! Great staff, they kept coming with drinks, very friendly, unusual for this type of facility. Highly recommended for team building events.
Melissa Lopez
Had the best time here. Glad we paid for an hour because we spent the first 15 minutes dying of laughter and trying to get the hang of it. If ever back visiting in Chicago I would for sure do it again!
Rob Grzymala
Relatively brand new facility with bowling, five or so Whirlyball courts and laser tag. It's a good time. The bar has a pretty decent beer selection. Would recommend.
Jacqueline de Sa
This might be my favorite place to have fun in Chicago. I just turn into a child here and the two times I'be been here, I had a BLAST on both. Staff is nice and friendly . Our hostess who I unfortunately forgot her name was very nice and caring. Laser tag was such a blast that I'll never forget. I might even come back for my bday but I definitely can't wait to come back!
Danny
Always a blast with the kids, decent food, good beer selection. Would have appreciated better accommodations for families with younger kids too, aka changing tables in restrooms and high chairs for dinning.
Melissa Villa
Great atmosphere! Bowling is a bit overpriced, but nevertheless fun. Make sure you reserve whirlyball way ahead of time, gets booked really quickly on the weekend.
Kristofer Wilhelmsen
Great food and great service. They take care of people who make reservations and respect them as such. The place can be in high demand so be prompt and ready to play on time. Drinks are good and atmosphere is awesome.
Brian Marshall
WhirlyBall is blast! It's an awesome way to spend a night with a large group of friends. WhirlyBall is a unique game that is a combination of, floor hockey, lacrosse, basketball and bumper cars. Their are arcade games, a full bar, and laser tag available to keep you entertained while waiting for a group to finish playing.
Tony M
Fun spot for groups, food was meh, you're here for the entertainment not a culinary experience. Some bumper cars aren't in good shape, they'll slow you down.
David Liang
I came here with about 50 people for a corporate event. They prepared a dinner and a Whirlyball court for us.
1. Food
Mediocre. We had burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, and some other things. The chips were pretty good.
2. Lasertag
Fun. The arena could have been a bit more convoluted, but I still had a good time. The guy forgot to tell me that I had to hold down the two buttons at the front to shoot, so my score the first game was pretty bad.
3. Pool
okay. Tables were a bit dirty, and they cost $2 per play.
4. DDR
I played a game and got my ass kicked. I blame having to stomp on the arrows to get them to trigger.
Unfortunately, I didn't play Whirlyball, but it looked pretty good since their baskets had sensors.
Nathan Pierson
My God I love this place. I came here with a group of my friends for my birthday last year and we played for an hour. So much fun. It brings out the kid with you. But with alcohol.
Edyta Sidorska (HappyOne Spirit)
Great place to spend some fun time with friends, family or for business meetings. Food is delicious, staff very friendly and place nice and clean. I would recommend it to everyone.
Henry Minis
Had a fantastic time! Only regret is that all their equipment is super duper old. Wish they'd do something to update it
Jeremy Simms
Imagine jai-alai mixed with bumper cars! A great spot for loads of fun with friends or family. Great beer selection, and delicious food. There are also several lanes for bowling while you wait for your turn at Whirlyball. Call ahead and reserve a spot today!
Matthew Gekas
This is a good place to hold a group party or team building session. We went on a weekday evening to play laser tag with our group. The laser tag facilities were fun, much like similar places in the suburbs. A few guns didnt work or stopped working in the middle of play, but the staff was quick and attentive to replace those units.
We also had food which i would describe as average. Things like baked mostaccioli covered in cheese, italian salad, italian beef. They were what you would expect when feeding a group of 20 or more people.
The staff was average- some people really liked their jobs while others appeared to hate their jobs.
The physical building was a wreck. Ceiling tiles were stained with water leaks, the bathrooms were gross and in need of cleaning and upgrade, the whole place felt dirty and generally unclean.
Overall a good place to have a party or team building, but do yourself a favor and leave your picky friends at home.
Steve Svec
WhirlyBall is the absolute best. My friends and I go every couple of months and can't wait to come back the next time. Nothing gets the competitive juices flowing like W.B. Full service bar, pool tables, darts, pop-a-shot, everything a good night out requires. Do yourself a favor and play WhirlyBall.
EDWARD KIGER
A cool place with a bar and bowling alley too.
Phillip Librojo
If you're bored of simply just going to the various Chicago bar districts for a night out, Whirlyball is worth a visit. Laser tag, whirlyball and bowling all available in one place make for some good old fashioned fun for folk looking for something different. This place has a extensive list of craft beers on tap fueling competition to higher and more entertaining levels.
jDub You
Have you ever played? You need to do it at least once. Whirlyball beit for company functions or just friends having fun gives you a legitimate excuse to bump, push, and race your peers. Even if you're terrible and your team loses every round, it's a good time. I am a disadvantaged short arm person but do what I can to run some hard defensive driving. You'll be amazed at how fast your game begins and ends.
Other reviews note that the place smells. This is true, it's the smell of competition... and burning electric engine parts along with burnt rubber. You kind sorta get used to it after 5 minutes but I could see how it could cause some sensitive noses some grief. This place has a bar ... they also have a kitchen but I urge you to stick to *simple* drinks at the bar. Think mid-shelf liquor XYZ and soda or stick to beer. They have a pretty good tap list. I did see that they are trying to charge "cover" on weekend nights if you're not scheduled to play. That's pretty ridiculous.
Candace Moore
Great place to go with groups or for a family. I didn't realize you needed at least 4 people to play whirlyball so I am disappointed we didn't get to do that. Bowling was fun but the pin setter got stuck.
Dima Danylevych
I have had fun playing there. Friendly stuff, decent price.
The only thing I didn't like was that the place is king of old and it needs some renewal. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun, and that's why it's 5 stars.
Tanika Pitts
This place is great the staff was very helpful they made sure me and the kids were very well taken care of we loved it so much and the experience we went back for a second day while in Chicago visiting the game was fun and the location was clean and comfortable
Jess Da Best
Love the feel inside here, drink I had was water down and I wasn’t happy about that. The buffalo wings are super good af love the sauce didn’t play any of the games and just attended a gathering here.
Leon Fletcher
This is not a place for little kids. I would say it's for teens and adults. Overall it's a good place and the food was great
Steven Kamer
always a good time. highly recommend for an adult corp outing. Lots more fun and interactive than bowling, golf sim, etc.
Leigha Ingermann
Whirlyball was so much fun! The food was great. There were a couple of small mishaps with our reservations, the staff was great and quick to remedy the problems.
efrain quiroz
Love this place so much fun driving around with great friends having a blast together enjoying the game. Make sure you don't have anything in you that might break it does get bumpy.
Christine McWilliams
Great place for a party/team building or just plain fun. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is the parking, even on a Wednesday night it was tough to find parking (in their free parking lot).
Matt Letourneau
A unique Chicago experience: track-ball plus bumper cars on a basketball-court sized arena. Plus drinks and bites, and bowling and/or lasertag - all a group of families or friends needs to fill a few hours of fun.
frankie gambz
It was great guys. Go there with friends. A really nice place to hang out and chill. Plus they have beer and good service.
Kelly Harrold
Fun. Work party with bowling and drinks. Friendly service. Typical bar food. Can't complain though... had a good time.
Eddie O.
This place is awesome! Laser tag, bowling, and, of course, the super amazingly fun Whirleyball courts! The drinks are good, the food is good, but the experience is where it's at!
Josh Krieger
Very fun. Seems like they need to fix a few carts that were slow or kept stopping. But, fun and exciting.
Courtney McGuire
Had my birthday party here! Anthony the manager was amazing and very accommodating to myself and my guests. Everyone had a great time!
Michael Sheehan
Went here for a work outing. Fun game. Good appetizers, good drinks. Attentive staff. Would definitely go again for work or just with friends
Kathy Henneman
Great team event! The employees were wonderful and good bar food. Highly recommend if you are looking for a fun event with your team!
Hardik Sodhani
Really fun place, perfect work events and birthday parties. They have 3-4 different arenas for Whirlyball, and a large open bar space with a good number for seating areas.
Anthony Martorina
Why isn't this an Olympic Sport yet? People would actually watch this on TV plus it would actually give all of us a chance to win a medal. It's the perfect sport. You can eat fried foods and drink beer and still be the top athlete in Whirlyball. There is no need for HGS or steroids in this sport. It's pure and honest.
For those who have no idea what this sport is. You play on a team but your in your own vehicle. It's similar to a bumper car. You have a racket in one hand and you use that to pass a whiffle ball to teammates as you try to score a goal. It's like basketball with a goal on each end of the floor. There's a score board too. We like to take a beer break at halftime. See its the best sport ever!
So if your looking for a fun activity then give this place a Whirl. It's great for a group of friends to get together. I've attended a bachelor party here. It was a great alternative to standing around in a bar, which we ended up doing after hanging out here. It's fun because it gets that competitive nature going. It also can get a little bloody when your buddy decides to take your arm off with a racket. This is where the fun sport turns into a Ben Stiller movie.
dominique moffett
This location is new. Its kid friendly and a great place for game night. The food here is good, I love their wings! So much to do here that you won't be disappointed.
Rudy Allen
WOW do I wish this was in Texas!! This place is A-MAZ-ING! Do not hesitate to schedule your friend get-togethers here or your birthday. The punch bowl is strong and great price too
Red Taylor
I love it enjoyed bowling fabulous food and the atmosphere was awesome and expert customer service
Angela Shaver
Went here for a work team building meeting. I really enjoyed it!! Not only the whirlyball but the food and atmosphere was great too!
Tamar Greene
So much fun!!! Laser tag portion needs better staff and updated equipment. Scores never seemed to add up properly.
Zabrina Victory
Fun, exciting, good food, good drinks
Wendy Davidson
My first time and hadn't heard about Whirlyball before but loved it .it was great would highly recommend for a group going out for an evening of fun and gaming...oh and fun and drinks as well.
Alain Perez
Super fun and enjoyable, friendly service🙌🏻 …
Al Cahalic
Was nice. Good was good, bowling was fun and laser tag was lit. Sent Valentine's day there and will deffenitly go back.
Lori Carr
Good place for company parties... in a busy part of town so lots of traffic. Food choices could be better. Nice bar area.
Mohan Vegesna
Amazing place for bowling. If you plan to go for whirlyball make sure you make reservations in advance. Lasertag and bowling have almost no wait time.
Kat Combs
Ridiculously fun. Highly recommend. Plus they have bowling and food and drinks. As they say, a shot for everyone.
Jake Hyland
Awesome place. Went for a work happy hour with appetizers and a drink tab. We had a blast!
Drew C
WhirlyBall was a fun experience, the drinks were good. I didn't try the food because so I can't comment about that. Pretty good service. I would go back again
Patrick McNeil
Fun place for company outings. The games are great fun for large groups.
Paul M
Great for company events! Lots of fun and a great location. All areas are kept clean and the food is delicious.
Kaylah Johnson
My job rented the place out for an event. It was a ton of fun and I enjoyed the atmosphere. They also had awesome drink specials
Tanae Mattel
Sooo much fun!!!
Gurditta Garg
It's an amazing place for eat, drinks and games. They have bowling alley, whirly ball court(amazing game for 10 people, 5 people in each team)
Matt Sauro
Great fun. Whirly ball is next to impossible to describe if you never been. Decent bar food, drinks, and there is laser tag!
Nathan Dougherty
Reserved a Whirlyball court for two hours for a bachelor party. Had a great time. Staff was very friendly and attentive.
Veronica Hui-Rodriguez
Whirlyball is super fun! There are many courts. Has a full bar, but may be out of many options. Has food too. Lasertag and bowling also available.
Wuliao Hao
Very fun place for big group to go. It has very unique whirley ball, also it is equipped with bowling, ping pong and laser tag.
oscar rodarte
A lot of fun but could be more time friendly
Douglas Burge
Great bar here. Always a great craft beer selection. The activities are fun too. Kids love the laser tag
Quincy Ross
Great place for some good old family fun...
Michael Myers
Enjoyed the company party here. The staff was friendly and the games were fun. The giant henna game was a hit.
Julie Krueger
Super fun afternoon with family that was in from out of town. WhirlyBall to start followed by bowling. A few brews and pretzel bites -- what else do you need?!
Brian Romanowski
Surprisingly fancy beer on tap selection, stuff you don't normally see at other bars. Worth checking out their draft menu.
Jason Kinnaman
Very fun! Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and such a unique game!
RayRay Hernandez
Food is pretty decent but the drinks are kind of pricey. Lots of fun for groups of people.
John Conrad
Perfect for GROUP FUN! Beers and food are good but pricey. Cocktails are too small for REAL CHICAGO DRINKERS!
Leslie G
Whirlyball is a lot of fun, and the employees were fine. Food/drink better than you'd think for somewhere with a bowling alley.
Erik Remley
Lots of fun! Who would have thought that combining bumper cars and lacrosse would be a blast.
Food is typical sports bar food.
Lei W
Good service but bowling lanes glitch sometimes
Elias Khayat
Good food and drinks at good prices
Plenty of fun options here: bowling, laser tag and a game after the place’s name
Strongly recommended for a fun night out with friends
Naresh Ramaswamy
Very nice place and amazing fun on the WhirlyBall court .. ideal place to visit for group of friends or office colleagues
Peter Hake
Whirlyball is very fun, especially with co-workers. We went here a year ago and it was fun to run into your boss and slap the ball out of his racket. Ooops!
Timothy Carleton
Definitely a fun time. The hour goes by fast. For best bang for buck, take a group of 10 and split the cost of the hour.
Robin de Bled
I had my doubts about how fun this would be, but beer meets bumper cars meets polo is about the best way I can describe it. Super fun.
Stewart “bowlofstew” Henderson

The Whirly Ball is fun & decently priced, everything else is kind of jacked up or sub-par. Expensive enough that I'd rather pre-game elsewhere & then just play the courts while I'm there.

Whirlyball may be the best combination of fuun ever to exict. If you love bumber-cars, or you love to play basketball. You will definetly love the game of WhirlyBall. The best part is the htting, where you can knock your frind out and still have him laughing.
