The Guided Pour partners with bars and restaurants across the northwest suburbs of Illinois to host recurring game nights that build loyal regulars, boost per-table spend, and give guests a reason to keep coming back.
The problem with empty seats:
Weeknights are tough.
Happy hour ends, the dinner rush fades, and the bar goes quiet.
You can’t run specials every night — but you can give people a reason to show up each week.
That’s where we come in.
We set the schedule.
We work with you to find the right night and time — typically a recurring weekly or biweekly slot that fits your slowest window.
We show up ready.
Our host arrives with everything needed: sound equipment, game materials, and scoring systems. There’s zero prep work on your end.
Guests play, you pour.
We run the show from start to finish. You focus on your staff and your guests. We handle the energy, the hosting, and the fun.
We create regulars who come back.
Game night guests become your most loyal customers. They come back weekly, bring friends, and tell people about your venue.
Longer Stays
Game night guests stay two to three times longer than typical bar patrons, and they keep ordering throughout.
Higher Per-Table Spend
Engaged guests drink more, order more food, and tip better. A fun night is a profitable night.
Built-In Regulars
Weekly events create weekly habits. Your game night crowd becomes your most reliable revenue stream.
Social Media Buzz
People post about fun nights. Game nights generate organic content, check-ins, and word-of-mouth you can’t buy.
Zero Effort on Your End
We bring the equipment, the host, and the energy. You don’t lift a finger beyond opening your doors.
Flexible Formats
Trivia, Friendly Feud, Music Bingo, or a rotating mix: We tailor the format to your crowd and your vibe.
Do we need to provide any equipment?
No! We bring everything — sound system, game materials, scoring, and prizes. All you need is a space and your staff. If your venue has televisions, we can also display trivia questions on screen throughout your facility.
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies based on format, frequency, and venue size. Reach out and we’ll put together a package that makes sense for your business.
How often can we host events?
Most venues start with a weekly or biweekly recurring night. We can also do one-off special events or seasonal programming.
What if our crowd isn’t into trivia?
We have multiple formats — Friendly Feud and Music Bingo tend to work great for crowds that aren’t traditional trivia fans. We’ll help you find the right fit.
Do you serve the whole northwest suburbs area of Chicagoland?
