It's a cute bar with activities for you to do while you wait for drinks and food such as Jenga and connect four. The food was typical bar finger food and the drinks were a little strong but the vibe is immaculate. I recommend coming here with friends to get the full experience.

I do not enjoy leaving bad reviews but I had the absolute worst experience here this past weekend. The bartender was inattentive and perhaps confused on how to service a bar. To be fair, she was alone and slightly backed up but I waited over 40 minutes and I still was not even acknowledged. This bartender serviced the entire bar twice and even served part of our friend group that arrived later than I did. Still nothing. I rallied my friends and left so we could all enjoy a drink together. It was so ridiculous that we took a photo of the bartender but instead of shaming her, we now use her photo as a meme when someone in our group gets ignored. I guess that’s worth the one star so thanks for the memories.

One of our favorites in San Diego. Great experience every time. All the games are interactive and fun for any group size. It’s great you can bring your kids until 7pm. 5 out 5 every time.

We are in town for work and an extended weekend. The DJ is the highlight along with overall atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.

The karaoke experience is really good here. The spicy margaritas and even the Moscow mule sucked. The sliders are dry and unfortunately not tasty.

They insist on searching all your bags for outside food, got mad about a water bottle in friends purse. Wanted me to leave my empty souvenir water bottle at the gate of the restaurant. It was too annoying, we declined and just went across the street to a different bar that didn’t care about a bag. We wanted to come in to eat and drink. My advice would be to cut the silly entrance rules.

Avoid!!!!
Service absolutely disgusting. I went out to escort my friend to an uber. I was not let back in. I was not let to collect my wallet and my phone. Idk who trains security personnel, but if you want your belongings, do not come here. The bar is most definitely going to convert your experience from karaoke to “will I have my ID and my credit cards back?” Please avoid this venue if you want to keep possession of your most valuable items.

If I could give this place a negative ZERO I would. My friend was waiting for me in the bathroom, and yes while was literally sitting on the floor as I went to the bathroom, and then less than FOUR minutes security decided it was necessary to say that my friend who sat on the ground in the bathroom for LESS THAN A FOUR MINUTES it was necessary to be escorted out along with our group. She was not intoxicated and it was her birthday. So thank you happy does for not communicating or using your talking skills to find out if everyone was okay or see if anyone was hurt before escorting people out. You are literally a disgrace to the night club community and I hope you feel the pain and strive it is to live in this world and I wish you better and hope you grow. Have a beautiful night and learn. Be a great student.

Fun bar and game space and karaoke right along Market Street.
Couple things: the back area has a bad smell, I'm going to guess from the AstroTurf floor absorbing many things. Also the doors to the bathroom stalls open in and you have to maneuver next to the toilet to close them so that's unideal.
Realistically it's just a fun space with good drinks in a great location that allows dogs (patio only) and has excellent vibes.
