Description

There are dreams you never knew you had, like the dream of being instantly transported to the best basement in town, circa 1983, where you can play Atari in television/lounge-chair/couch pits. Don't you wish Mom would have brought you craft-brewed ale and a basket of fries while you crouched in the darkness? Well, Mom never would, but the friendly staff at the Chatterbox will. Not for everyone, but there's something about this wine and beer bar that speaks to Gen Xers and Gen Yers in a special language.

Clearly the fine minds behind the Chatterbox Pub know the calculus of power, for they have created a venue wherein you can try your hand at global dominance while coating it in French fry grease. The Chatterbox is best known for its uncanny collection of classic video game systems hooked up to TV screens in... More »
2004 | BEST NEIGHBORHOOD BAR--MINNEAPOLIS

There's a purple-haired girl sitting next to a white-shag lampshade playing Yahtzee with a young but already grizzled tattooed guy in a work shirt. Two very PTA-looking moms sit a couple of tables over and watch their kids play Atari. Boisterous groups of twentysomethings gulp beer and sip wine (no hard liquor here--all the better for failing to attract hard-core drunks). Everyone seems to be having a great time. The stunning array of available board games and the house-brewed beer help to... More »

Hail Mary

By Jessica Armbruster | Wed, October 19, 2005

The Bloody Mary was my granny's signature drink. Before she died, when she was in town my father would mark the occasion by mixing up a mean one using entirely pedestrian ingredients like V8, liberal amounts of Tabasco (she lived in the South, so... More »

Everything I have ordered thus far has exceeded my expectations. I especially love their Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. And the beer that they claim is comparable to Guinness (though I don't agree) is also a winner! And the charming set-up of video games is always a bonus :)

I'm a big fan of the Build-Your-Own Mac and Cheese. They also have Nintendo and a slew of board games. Karaoke is also great on Monday nights.
