Time Out says

Open since 1982, Chicago Billiard Cafe is a destination for pool players and pinball wizards. With 16 pool tables and a rotating roster of 16 pinball machines, there's no shortage of ways to stoke your competitive spirit. Between rounds, order from a varied menu of boozy and non-alcoholic drinks, plus a solid selection of pub grub. For the social butterflies among us, the cafe also hosts trivia nights, pool and pinball tournaments and leagues.

Pearfat Parfum Pinball Party

Midwest fragrance house Pearfat Parfum has been taking the olfactory world by storm with their whimsical agender scents. For one night only, you can sample and purchase their one-of-a-kind parfums and enjoy a round of pinball at the same time! Peafat has even concoted a pinball-themed scent inspired by waxy pinball parlor floors and the metallic chime of arcade machines. Chicago Billiard Café will be offering drink specials, hosting a pinball tournament and more for this delightfully niche holiday pregame.
