The environment was great, the drinks were tasty and strong, but the food was pretty meh. It was just overpriced gas station food. I was excited because they had a burger for $5 but it was just one of those frozen ones you heat up in a microwave that you can get from 7/11 lol. Not trying to be too negative but the tater tots were pretty bad, I can understand wanting to just have quick to make convenience food because it can be difficult to juggle making drinks AND food for a lot of people at a bar but I think the food quality would greatly improve if they just invested in an air fryer instead of microwaving it. Assuming that's how it was prepared, idk something just needs to change lol.

The atmosphere is really cool. Employees very friendly. Very speakeasy-like. This was a fun find.

This is a nerdy dream bar! Game store with a bar in the back. What more do you need?

tl;dr- Don’t go if service matters to you

Definitely aren’t going for the food so ignore that portion of the review but it’s pretty plain that if you aren’t a regular don’t expect good service like at all, unfortunate because it’s a cool place but the service is almost abysmal.

Live updates on score lowering: Completley ignored at the bar after being asked to move to a different seat


Final Update: Upon arrival to the bar it is a super cool atmosphere, sat at the bar at a normal seat ordered a beer all good
asked to move, whatever, then ignored for the rest of my time couldn’t get another drink or anything.

This place really does feel like you’re somewhere else, in the best way. I pop in here while my kiddo is at a club elsewhere in the mall and it’s my happy place. Delightful service by the bartender, great selection of unique and local drafts, and just overall a lovely spot.

The long haired kid behind the bar opened 10 minutes late. He said, “I’m not ready for you yet.” That’s all fine with me.

When he was finally ready, and I had been sitting and waiting patiently, he helps two guys who just walked in. I walked out and won’t be back.
