"This place is amazing! We went for their NYE event and had such a great time. They didn't over book so there was space for everyone to play, plenty of options on the buffet, from appetizers, entree and sweets, all of which were amazing. The board game selection is also great. There have simple and complex games for people of all ages. Our server was very nice and helped us to learn a new game."

"First time here and definitely coming back! Came in to celebrate a friends birthday and we ended up playing Puerto Rican bingo. Food was delicious and so were the drinks."

"This place was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to care for myself and my friends on their busiest night of the month. All of the employees were wonderful, but specifically Yesenia and Olivia took time to make our experience amazing. You can tell this is a place that cares so deeply for their employees and customers, as well as sharing the Puerto Rican culture. The food and the drinks were amazing and they had such a great selection of games (all of our favorites and many we have never played before). We have decided to make this place a staple every time we visit Chicago. Thank you, Stay and Play for the wonderful experience!"

"Wow, wow, wow! My sister recently moved to Chicago and we visited for NYE wanting to find somewhere fun but still contained to celebrate. We stumbled across Stay and Play Cafe through our searches and bought tickets for their party. It was INCREDIBLE. Wonderful staff, atmosphere and games. I am gluten free and when the appetizers weren’t something I could eat they brought me vegetables and hummus. Totally not needed as they were busy and I know I can’t always eat everything but it made all the difference to feel included. The drinks were great and our server Jon was friendly and always checking on us. Next visit to Chicago we WILL be coming back and I am so glad to have found this amazing board game cafe."

"Like most board game cafes, they have an excellent selection of games, and are able to give recommendations. What puts them above and beyond everywhere else I've gone are the incredibly warm and welcoming staff and the phenomenal food menu. This isn't just food for the sake of having something available, part of why I'm so excited to come to a meetup or event here is because I'm looking forward to getting a meal here!"
