About Chicago Billiard Cafe

Since its establishment in 1982 by the Van den Bosch family, Chicago Billiard Cafe has offered a premiere pool experience. In its early days, the Cafe was home to many of the city's best players and a standard stop for some of pool's modern-day legends. Regulars included Freddy "The Beard" Bentivegna, Billy Incardona, Efren Reyes, Raymond Ceulemans, Roberto Rojas, Jeff Carter and Lennard "Bugs" Rucker- all legends in the game. Today, as one of the city's last remaining true pool halls, the Cafe continues to cater to pool aficionados as well as amateurs of all skill levels. We have top-of-the-line equipment with 16 nine-foot regulation size tables maintained by our licensed team members.

Celebrating Chicago as the birthplace pinball and world headquarters of the pinball manufacturing industry, CBC now features a pinball lounge holding a range of classic machines by Bally and Williams and newer, modern day machines by Stern. and Chicago Gaming. Our machine lineup will change on a continual basis.
