Update: last 4 visits was very unexciting, very empty, and Friday karaoke is painful

Fun place. Sometimes it's hit or miss with drinks, but either way you'll find a way to have a good time. Pool, shuffle board, video games, or board games.

Parking: Plenty of parking

Easily one of my favorite places. Very friendly staff, excellent drinks, and just great vibes from staff and clientelle alike. I cannot recommend this place enough if you love video games, or nerd culture, or just really good cocktails

Super dope place. I love that you can bring your own food! Chloe at the bar was so great… top notch service from her! She went above and beyond for little old me over a cola… I’ll be coming back for the service alone!
I was shocked they had machi koro but saddened when I saw they didn’t have the greatest board game ever, Sequence!

Nonetheless, super chill spot with lots of gaming options for every kind of gamer

Great polite bartenders! The drinks were mixed very well and I had a great time attending a smash bros tournament here. It’s unfortunate that I’m pretty far from this place otherwise I would come a lot more often. Looking forward to coming Sunday!

Great experience. Went for date night and played pool and super smash bros. Drinks were great and grabbed food from next door. Bar tender was nice and attentive. Great date spot.

If you grew up in the 80s and 90s and love retro games, this is your jam. Plenty of board games to choose from, billiard tables, good beer, and an overall great vibe. Prices vary depending what you play and how long, so you can spend a lot or a little, depending on what you want. I haven’t had food here, so I can’t comment

Kid-friendliness: Not for kids. It’s a bar, this is for adults. Don’t let the video games mislead you.

This place encourages drunk driving.I left my car overnight and took an Uber to a friend's house because I wasn't comfortable driving. I come back 7 in the morning to find my car towed.

Four pool tables, some game consoles and a bar. A great spot to become a regular at. They also host karaoke every other Friday. Atmosphere is nice and inclusive overall.

They tried to refuse entry over ID despite showing them a residency card lol. They also made us buy water than offer a glass at the bar.

Cool spot! Go before 7 and it's quiet and great for board games. Stay for karaoke if that's your thing. Friendly people!

I want to like this place because the atmosphere with having the games but it stops there. The staff and the drink charges make it difficult once you come up to the bar.Stick to the beer because the charge you for doubles on liqour. You’re paying near $20 for a glass of bourbon. I don’t believe they serve singles. If they do, you’ll probably have to ask for it because the standard pour/charge are doubles.So if you want beer, better be prepared to have two if you want to use your credit card because of their minimum if you’re not paying cash. You’ll also have to pay their credit card processing fee which they have posted as signage (along with the credit card minimum). I know it’s standard for businesses to have this fee, but include it in your pricing vs having an extra line on your receipts and don’t force minimums on credit card paying customers and expect them to be okay with an extra line for the processing fee.Me and my buddies casually brought up this feedback to the staff regarding the minimums, fees, and pricing, and the bartender became very defensive about it and blamed management. We had shared our experience with comparing how other establishments handle this and he acted how this was something that he never heard of. We respected the rules, the bartender, and decided to leave after one drink. Hoping something changes between how their staff interacts (need to be more customer friendly) or their fees because you definitely can’t have both.
