Retro Games + Cheap Drinks: Dive Bar Fun at Zoo Tavern

Looking for a laid-back date night with a little friendly competition? Zoo Tavern is a beloved Eastlake dive bar that brings the fun with vintage pinball machines, pool tables, darts, and other classic bar games. The vibe is unpretentious and lively, with quirky decor, cheap drinks, and a crowd of locals that keeps the energy up.

It’s a great pick for a casual couples outing or a first date that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Whether you’re teaming up for darts or going head-to-head on the pinball leaderboard, this neighborhood staple adds just the right amount of playful chaos to your night.

Before or after your games, grab rustic Italian fare at Serafina just up the street, or head to Mamnoon Street for modern Lebanese bites in a more relaxed setting.
