One of the best burgers in the area, good drink menu (also have cocktails). Have ATM on site or bring cash for arcade games.

The best. Good burgers with all the options and an amazing arcade. Didn't try the drinks, but they seem fun --- video game themed. The space is surprisingly clean and open. It's a bar but also suitable for kids. I took mine there. They loved it.

Sunny, at the bar was SO nice! This was our first time here, and we brought family to check it out with us. The food did not disappoint! The only thing that was a little difficult was how steep the stairs were to get to the 2nd floor. But we will definitely be back and add this to our list of go to spots!

The games are alot of fun. They have all the old favs. The burgers are delicious! Such a cool place that is priced fair, all things considered. My burger with a side of tator tots came to just under $14. The patties are clearly fresh and made to order. Nothing frozen here! The portions are good size and my food arrived within 5-7 minutes. It was nice to see so many families enjoying an afternoon together. I don't know if I'd hang out here if I was just looking to have drinks, but it was the perfect spot to grab lunch with friends while passing through Rochester. Definitely worth a visit!

Swillburger/PlayHouse. Unique, welcoming, laid back, fun. One of the best spots to hang out in the city, with or without kids. Good selection of classic and modern arcade games. Fair prices. Excellent food. Veg friendly. Great atmosphere. Stellar service. Inventive and deep drink menu. Cannot recommend enough.

It's overall a pretty fun place. Food is almost always really good although I recently got an order of the chicken fries and I didn't like them at all...it's the first thing I've had from there that I didn't like. The wait at the bar can be really long, even if it's not busy, and 2 out of the 3 times I've been there recently, there was no water available. There's a cooler for "free" water but it has to be refilled. One time it was never refilled the whole time we were there even though staff was aware that it was empty. Otherwise I have no complaints...food is usually out quickly, our orders have never been wrong and staff is great (as long as you're not waiting at the bar).

This place is really cool. Lots of old school arcade games, including tons of different pinball machines! They also have a small food menu which includes a delicious, homemade veggie burger. It's one of the best ones I have had! Their milkshakes are also delicious! And they have a full bar! You order your food and then get a pager that lets you know when it is ready so there aren't waiters, but the staff you order from is always friendly. It does get pretty loud and crowded on weekend nights.

Tried to call ahead to get info... got a very disinterested sounding voicemail about the place. I guess my family won't go there. Good luck everyone.
