**Amazing Cocktails in the Most Unexpected Spot!**
This place has such a great vibe. It is bright, colorful and energetic, while still feeling comfortable and welcoming, with excellent music setting the tone. I didn’t get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked fantastic and I’m looking forward to coming back for it.
Ricky at the bar is outstanding. One of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had, and without question the best espresso martini I’ve had anywhere. Truly top tier cocktails. The staff overall was very friendly and welcoming. I gave the racing simulator a try and realized it was not quite for me, but that will not stop me from returning. Those drinks alone are worth the visit.

Stopped in this place after having dinner across the street with a few clients. The staff was very friendly invited us in and gave us an explanation of how the place works. We decided to do half an hour racing simulator and it was awesome. The clients had a blast. Everyone there was very friendly and the service was excellent. Will definitely visit this place again.

Been coming here since they opened. Compared to their Algonquin location (which is nice but doesn’t have food, only sim racing) the atmosphere is always great here. Price is great across the board and the weekly specials are nice. Great sims to race with friends or do hot laps solo. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere -If your at all an automotive enthusiast In to about any form of motor sports , this place is worth visiting. If you’re looking for a higher end casual but unique sports bar, this is also worth visiting .
A side note, the bathrooms were the nicest ones I’ve ever been in . Possibly ever
Food – The menu is small but high quality items. Great selection of drinks. Had the wings with the feta dip. Wanted more of both which caught me off guard for a place with high end racing rigs. I’m hoping they add some items in the future. At least a few more of equal quality.
The racing – they had 10 total high end racing simulators or “sim rigs”. 2 were full motion big screen full simulators and the other 8 had similar hardware but smaller screens . They had feedback but no motion. We were lucky enough to be upgraded for our hour to the full motion rigs. An absolutely incredible experience . You get a little safety brief prior because these games are no joke. It ruined me from playing forza or GT on my consoles . Definitely something for everyone to try . Even the non motion units will be a good time for some one just wanting to try one out but I see full tournaments taking place also.
Pricing- this is no generic arcade. With the quality of food and entertainment , you can expect to pay about 60-70$ with food , a drink or 2 and a half hour of racing. It’s one of those things that’s worth doing but if you’re here every day, it can get expensive quick. That being said , the motion rig for 1 hour was basically more fun than an entire day at a theme park , and costs less from my experience
We spend about 200$ for 2 people . We both ate but instead of alcohol, we went for the full hour each. I would do it all over again and plan to real soon.
I’ll reiterate though , if you just want to scope it out, go have a drink or appetizer and check it out. It’s a friendly atmosphere and definitely worth the experience.

Absolutely love sim racing south barrington! From the amazing food & quick service to the realistic racing sims, this place has it all. All of the staff are very friendly and accommodating, and are very helpful when it comes to getting you set up with the sim if you’ve never done it before. For the reasonable prices, you just can’t beat it! I happily drive an hour each way just to come here they accept walk-ins, but reservations are highly recommended.

Sim Racing South Barrington is seriously cool. The simulators are next-level — super realistic and crazy fun. Whether you’re into racing or just looking for something different to do, hopping into one of these rigs is a blast. The whole setup feels pro, and it’s easy to get into even if you’ve never done sim racing before.
What really surprised me though? The food is actually really good. Not just snacks or bar food — we’re talking legit meals that taste great. And yep, there’s a full bar too. Great drinks, good vibes, and the perfect way to chill out after a few intense laps.
Overall, it’s an awesome spot to hang out with friends, race like a pro, grab a bite, and enjoy a drink or two. Definitely worth checking out.

Amazing place! The atmosphere is great, large bar and plenty of seating. The simulators are state of the art, very high quality equipment. I had a blast racing with friends on famous tracks. I will be back soon!

Food was horrible. I understand one guy is working in the kitchen. But waiting over an hour for the food, and it wasn’t fresh and the taste was horrible. Our server was great so was the sim racing. But 25$ for a shot!!! Also you need more bathrooms.
