When they first opened I thought they had pretty good food and beer. The pizza was memorable. Service was okay, nothing extraordinary but nothing to complain about either. I surprised my wife with a pizza from there tonight and it was god awful! Burnt, paper thin and just inedible. I mean one bite terrible. I’m sorry but our house loves pizza and we tap into many different local pizza places and they all vary in style and flavor but they’re worth visiting again. Not so here, It seems that something has changed. Their wood fired oven is no longer visible from the bar area so who knows what’s going on with the making of it but it isn’t the same as when it was brought to the table on a pedestal. So my final thought is I would not recommend it, spend your $16 on a place that specializes on pizza!

Great food! Had chicken fingers and fish fry dinners. First time ever a full plate of food in both our meals. Fries were and abundance that you can imagine. It's a small sports bar with a lot of games. Atmosphere was mellow not loud where you had too yell too talk. The plus was one of the owners came up and asked how the meal was. First time ever in my life has that happened. I told him everything was great and fries were excellent. Told him coleslaw was good. He asked why it was just good. Told him I like sweet coleslaw with pineapple. Takes away bitter taste. He said next time I'll make sure you have a small dish of pineapple for slaw. All in all I give this place 4 thumbs up but only have 2 lol

I'm not one to make a big deal of things when it comes to the restaurant business as I've been in it for years now and understand things happen/go wrong. But sometimes things happen that are a deliberate action/problem that is not excusable. I'm so angry and put off with this place. This is our second time here ( we returned because the first time was good) and dont get me wrong the food is good but I won't go back and I won't encourage anyone else to either because they clearly dont have any class/respect for their patrons. Let me give you a run down 8:45 roughly but I didnt notice the exact time we arrive and it's a ghost town minus 3 or 4 people. We stood there for a minute without being greeted and then sat ourselves. Some time later not too long the bartender Melissa comes over and says there is no server on but she would do her best. Out of her control and totally fine. We make sure to have our drink order and food order ready when she comes back to make it easier for her. - food arrives and all is well. She comes back when we are done and offers a box etc. Here is the TIME STAMPS TO FOLLOW let me say before this that their website/google says they are open till 11pm. 9:55pm check is dropped off- I figure out what everyone owes and write it down to again make it easy on them 10:03 check and cards are returned 10:10 lights are dimmed so low they may as well have been off. 10:15 MANAGER Taylor comes over says to us they will be closing up shortly so if we could vacate in the next few minutes...to which I respond I thought you were open til 11.. his response is "well it says open till late so it changes." He then SUGGESTS WE LEAVE AND GO TO ANOTHER BAR IN THE AREA--- Its a thursday night I'm not bar hopping I simply came out for a drink and food.. 10:25 Taylor is putting up bar stools and closing down 10:32 I'm in my car leaving. 30 minutes before they close and are RUSHING paying customers out. Customers that spent money and who tipped our server above %20 - 51$ check and a 14$ tip * on a side note the drinks were strong (not a bad thing) but one of our friends needed a minute* so it's also good to know they could care less! We Regularly go out with large groups of our friends sometimes on a weekly basis, but I will never step foot or subject anyone to that type of treatment from MANAGEMENT. As a server and someone who has been a FOH manager I wouldnt dream of ever telling my customer to leave and go to another bar in the area. TAYLOR needs to not be in management before he recommends all of their paying customers to go elsewhere!

We stopped in around 8pm on a Tuesday night. Not much going on, so the bar service was quick! I really appreciated our bartender. He was friendly and chatty. He mentioned a drink he was making and I asked what was in it (Satin's Whiskers). He said I'll do ya one better... and made us "shot" sized Satin's Whiskers so we could try it. That's service! We didn't eat there but did play a couple of the games in the small arcade they have there. Fun night. Would go back here and try the food sometime!

I remember this place as hooligans. I wanted to check this place out cause they followed me on Instagram and at the time I lived in Colorado. I saw they were from Rochester. And kinda new where it was, I met the own really nice guy and told how I came to find this place. Thanks for the follow and all the likes on Instagram. The service here is great the servers are friendly and really helpful. The food was delicious definitely would like to try something different the next time. Thanks for the great experience and the hospitality good music and great vibes

Stopped in with friends recently to check this place out. The ambience was decent. They had an incredible selection of classic games to play, which was unexpected. Service was hard to gauge, since we were in there for a big game, and it's understandable that they were busy, and slow at bringing our drinks. I ordered some sort of breakfast burger that had meat hot on it. The fries that came with it were overcooked. The burger itself was sloppy, and somehow lacked much flavor. The meat hot had a slight kick to it, but the burger and the bacon and fried egg altogether were pretty bland. I'm not sure if this is a bar that offers food as a sort of afterthought or not, but I wasn't impressed. I would come back for drinks or to play games though.

Food is good and a nice beer selection. I have only gone on lunch, so I am not sure how the crowd is at night. Never a wait and the service is quick. You also get a ton of very tasty fries :)

Love this place! Great food, drinks, and the arcade games are very fun. I do feel like they dont have enough low level tables for families with small children but other than that its awesome!

Would have been great if there was service. Walked in no one greeted us. We stood there for 5 mins. Then sat ourselves. Waits 5 mins no one walked over or said anything to us. The bartender clearly knew we were there. But didnt even acknowledge us. Another couple walked in and the bartender shouts sit and place. And immediately took their order. We walked out and never ever will return. Place is a joke.

Great customer service. Good beer with good prices. What more could you ask for

This place really sucks. Came here at 4 on a saturday for an early dinner. nobody greeted us as we stood there for several minutes. saw many open tables and walked inside. Some girl then rudely told us ALL the tables were reserved. I asked if there waa any place to sit at all and she merely said "nope!" and left. didnt tell us how long the wait was or helped us in any way. Makes no sense that half the place can just be reserved with a phone call. I am here now. they arent. who should get preference? will not be back. no wonder they arent doing so hot here. an arcade isnt going to save you when your staff sucks a fat one.

This place is a nice hang out. There blue long island's are everything. Great place for a date night.

Decided to give this place a try. Walked in. No one was at the door. Seemed like seat yourself. So we sat at a table. The bar tender looked other a few times and knew we were there. Didnt say anything to us. Waited for some one to come over. After sitting there for 8 minutes; a couple came in after us and their drink order was taken right away. Waited another 4 minutes. And walked out. Definitely wont recommend or come back. What a joke!
