Emporium Arcade Bar celebrates its 10-year anniversary in June. To commemorate the milestone, the arcade bar is hosting extra special events this month and will continue through the end of the year. In June, the anniversary events include the first live concert in two years by The Cool Kids, a beer release party to celebrate the latest in a long tradition of doing collaboration beers with local breweries and a live wrestling event.
Since opening in Chicago in 2012, Emporium Arcade Bar now has six locations: three in Chicago (Wicker Park, Fulton Market and Logan Square), two in the Bay Area (San Francisco and Oakland) and one in Las Vegas (AREA15), plus a seventh location in New Orleans set to open in early fall.
“It’s amazing to reach the milestone 10th anniversary for our company. It is pretty rare for a bar business to make it one year, let alone 10 and we have our awesome customers, staff and many, many partners to thank. The last 10 years have been a wild ride for us filled with countless events, parties and good times. We are proud to have expanded into three more markets as the nation’s premier arcade bar experience, and we look forward to entering a fourth market with our brand-new New Orleans location opening soon,” said Danny Marks, CEO, Emporium Arcade Bar.
