8/10/25 Came here to bowl and drink. Got our drinks outside , we came in got situated with bowling, we waited about 10 mins for a server , no one came. My boyfriend went to go look for a server, she said someone would be over soon. No one ever came. We asked for help 3 different times no help. Our game ended and of course I asked to speak with a manager .. I explained what happened to the person at the checkout station.The guy’s Answer was, we are short staffed. I just walked away. Horrible and annoying experience 🙄

I stopped in because I had an appointment across the street and I had a little over an hour to spare. I sat at the end of the bar, and within minutes the bartender approached and I ordered a drink (titos an cran) and sliders, cost me $27 and some change. Within five minutes I got my drink, simple, well made, no straw. 45 minutes later, still waiting on my sliders. It is now time for me to leave or I will be late for my appointments. I have asked two servers about my food and have yet to get a response.... finally received my food and it was complete trash. The sliders were just thrown in the box, tasted like straight vinegar and the buns were mush. So greatly disappointed. I would not recommend this place for food and drinks.

Came on Sunday afternoon to happy hour and had a good time. Happy hour: Bowling is $5 per game and beers are $7, well drinks are $5 and there's many other drinks and food but didn't get more. The arcade was fun but not cheap, probably comparable to chain arcades but with worse prizes. The outdoor area is really nice and there's many TVs. They are building a beer garden or something inside which will be cool. They do not validate parking, so we paid $14 for 2-3 hours in the garage, which wasn't bad. There's a farmers market right outside on Sunday too. We would come back to bowl!

Sat outside on the patio. There’s no signage for how seating works, service or otherwise. Walked up to the bar but the bartender lady’s were chatting felt like we were interrupting.
Food was okay. Not enough fries, burgers were not terribly exciting. My bourbon sauce I would swear was A1 sauce.
I also hate the new age (not their problem) way to pay. What happened to a bill not a server standing over your shoulder as you give a tip?

My daughters are I used to hit up the arcade often, sometimes staying for lunch. The food is a mixed bag, decent wings and other bar food like tater tots, but the BBQ is mediocre.
The games were already expensive compared to other arcades, and they recently raised the prices of the games so much that we blew through $50 in about 20 minutes. We won’t be coming back.

$75/hr for bowling at a place that offers nothing worth that amount. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting too.

I was ask to give my credit card as a deposit holder pre service of food. Is this something they ask of every one since it’s in a rough area or just your basic old profiling? I sure didn’t see any signs or table tents that says this.
Kept my tab open, came back an hour later to cash out. They lost my card, tried to blame it on me, yet still managed to charge my account. Tried to get it back, apparently they close your card out at the end of shifts and not the end of the night. Talked to staff member Quan, told me staff members aren't supposed to take your card but it looks like they did. WTH, never again. Have to cancel my card and request another over two cocktail's that I still paid for.

Definitely a watering hole for school teachers service people the maintenance man and other bartenders not to be rude but it’s definitely not the district (suit&tie watering hole) This is the place where we go to watch Sunday night football and Monday night basketball games I definitely recommend the barbecue platter with the brisket the beef ribs and a side salad a couple of chicken wings grab a Lane and bowl there’s a private room in the back as well if you are hosting a party it doesn’t have to be out in the open there’s an arcade area for children even though it’s not really child friendly outdoor seating with an open bar and multiple televisions fire pits and even a small playground just in case you can’t get rid of your Rugrats. Definitely a safe area your child is not coming up missing here no you cannot hit your vape inside that’s what outside is for and if you’re gonna order margaritas order more than one

Great outdoor seating and view of Jack London sqaure. Good spot to hang out with friends and children friendly. Entertainment provided; bowling, arcade, and sports bar. Enjoy it fairly well. I definitely would go back.
