Awesome beer selection. Great patio. For the time being, tables are kept apart to ensure social distancing. Otherwise there only 2-3 tables for the entire place. Bartenders are friendly.

I love when Dj X-tasy plays. I enjoy their Negroni drink & old fashion. The staff is so friendly and attentive.

Despite being smaller than some other bars on North Halsted, this one serves a big and important staple in the community! You could really tell that the manager and staff work hard to create a welcoming, diverse, and positive atmosphere for everyone. Each part of the bar feels like it’s own cool, unique space; whether you’re inside, or or out on the awesome patio, you always feel comfortable and at home. There always seems to be some kind of cool new event taking place here every day, and whether you’re coming alone or in a big group, you’re sure to have a really fun and social time!

GREAT outdoor area in the back. It can get a little crowded out there though. Friendly staff. Laid back atmosphere. Good spot for a quick drink or six lol

I've been coming to this location for years; and even though I don't really drink anymore, I still stop in to see the staff. It's that good.On Tat Tuesdays, the lovely Debbie Fox auctions off a FREE tattoo session with a local parlor. The staff is amazing, always happy to see you, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. They have a patio outback and oftentimes have FREE BBQ's during the summer.I've also partnered with this organization in the past for a benefit drive to support Chicago House. If you're looking for a great time on a Tuesday night, DEFINITELY check out Tat Tusdays at Replay.

I had such an amazing time at this bar. I can't wait to go back again. They have video games everywhere and other game outside in their back patio like connect 4, bags, and jenga. It was my 1st time their and I really recommended it!!

The music was pretty good, a little loud but other than that I had a great time. I enjoyed playing all the games and eating popcorn

Pinball and game machine pub. Plenty of outdoor seating in the back and good selection of beer.

Fun and low key gay bar. I love the back patio here. A comfortable off the beaten path gay bar. I enjoy the games and it has a nice beer selection.

Beer selection is good but that’s about it. They don’t have many options beyond that which sucked for someone who doesn’t really drink beer. The games are fun though and free (except the pinball and one other), and they offer free popcorn. On the weekends this place is insanely crowded and I wouldn’t touch it. But on weeknights, for $8 + tip you can enjoy a drink, play some games and have a snack. Definitely worth it. :)

Fun, fun, fun. Nice layout, much larger that it looks upon arrival. Love the throwback arcade games. Drinks are great. Super long beer list to experience.

Fun bar. A lot smaller that it looks from outside. I liked the giant connect four game.

Excellent choice for a bar in boystown if looking to converse and lounge more. The beers are diverse, popcorn buttery, and video games nostalgic. Favorite bar for chilling with my friends, especially out back with the fire pits and life-size Jenga!

Went on Wednesday was pleasantly surprised by the fun atmosphere. They were having karaoke night. With 5$ drinks anything you want! They have windows that open in the front and an outside area in the back as well. Great little spot in Boystown.

Prices were fair and the bartender was friendly! As one of the only places open before NYE, I had limited options for a drink, but thoroughly enjoyed Replay. Will come back!

High energy bar, which is attributed to all of the video games they have. I'd say great for when you are in a fun mood with a group of friends but not well suited if you are looking for a chill, quiet place. I got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich shot here once that was delicious!

Visiting from out of town and this was my favorite stop. All about being able to play old arcade games for free - and the beer selection was great too. There was one slightly rude bartender, but I just swapped to the other nicer one so it didn't ruin my experience! Would def recommend coming here for a night out.

My favorite Boystown bar, though later in the evening the music goes down hill fast.

Place was very fun and a great place in the neighborhood. Staff was great and drink prices were great. There are pinball games to play and are free. Also has an instant photo booth for fun pics. Has a great outside bar in the back that has an outstanding ambiance.

Love the rotating tap list! One of the best gay bars to grab a good beer! Plus, they have free games (minus pinball) and free popcorn!Head to the back patio for a fun video game inspired art installation (wait for nighttime when the blacklight turns on!).

What's not to love? Great video games (free!), great drinks, fabulous music (DJ Ex-tasy was awesome!) and fun crowd.

I love Replay. It is a great bar with great games and an outdoor patio. More masculine crowd here and not your ordinary queens. Good music selection and did I mention the craft beer selection?!?! You will feel like you are in a straight bar here; which is good for us clean-cut masculine men.

I prefer this location over the Andersonville location. Big selection of drafts and a nice backyard patio. Popcorn! I love it when they have free food out on the grill too!

Nice vibe here. One of the best manhattans in the city. Great beer and whiskey options. No cover. Drinks are a bit expensive. It's particularly hopping on Tuesdays (Tattues).

Not as great as when it was HQ Beercade but getting there with their themed events like Rick and Morty. What they really need is all their pinball games back! It feels sparse without anything in there.

Great beer selection and awesome arcade ganes for free. What’s not to like?

We went here for the Rick and Morty pop up, and in doing do, discovered an amazing bar. Great beer selection and an awesome vibe from this place. Also, most of the arcade games are free! We had so much fun, and we will definitely go back again soon.
