The Game Room Reviews
Let me save you a wildly frustrating experience. As cool as the facility and set up is, the rudeness of the bouncer and the manager is simply not worth it. I have never been to a restaurant or bar that literally looks for confrontation with customers.
super cool atmosphere and relaxed

The Game Room is a lively bar and restaurant that offers a variety of games, including skee ball, pool, chess, and bocce. The cocktail menu may be small, but the drinks are reported to be good. The atmosphere is described as fun, with tasty appetizers like loaded fries. However, the service can be inconsistent, and the venue can get quite crowded, especially on weekends.
Recent changes to the menu have received mixed reviews. While the Greektown gyro was praised as delicious, the new buttermilk chicken strips were not well-received, with the meat appearing gray in color and not tasting good. The Chicago dog was considered fine, but the wings were overcooked.
Despite some inconsistencies, the restaurant seems to have its loyal fans. Customers have enjoyed the free games, good food, and drinks, including the pretzel and fish tacos. The venue is described as an "upscale game room" with a lively atmosphere and ample space, making it a popular choice for groups. The executive chef, Kaleena Bliss, has been featured on Top Chef and Chopped, ensuring the food is of high quality.
