I miss the old Canal Street Tavern. Can't tell you how many bands I got to see there years ago. Some of THE best local music and I'm glad that they left a bunch of the band stickers on the wall. I don't think Mick would be rolling over in his grave at all. You're keeping the location alive.

This is where I come to eat a reuben sandwich. Best one in town and I've had a lot. Great place to bring the kids before 3pm to play some arcade games. The ones that aren't pinball are free (if they're not broken 🫤). Pinball is pay to play.

The food is really good and the nostalgic feel the old school video games and pinball give is top notch. They have a good beer selection and fair amount of seating including that includes tables outside.

However, $21 for an 8 inch cheese steak a bag of chips and a drink is a bit much.

The chicken salad on raisin is my favorite. And as a special bonus I get to play my favorite vintage video games.

Their Ruben Sandwich is probably one of the best I've had. Service was great, everything was quick and easy. Great location to hangout with friends to grab a drink and a bite to eat.

The reuben and build your own breakfast sandwich are my favorites here. The staff is friendly and the retro games are fun to play. This is a great place for a date or hanging out with friends. If you're in the area, check this place out.

A piece of coal in the Gem City. I don’t care how good the sandwiches are (they are mid). Wow, great, they have a craft beer selection and some games. Rudest staff of almost any bar downtown. It’s like they make a point of being nasty.

I live a few blocks away, and came in yesterday with a small group of friends who were obviously not local (wearing similar t-shirts for a yearly festival dedicated to a local band). The collective sneer as we approached, and soon after, the rancor and targeted profanity as we were demanded to leave (for no apparent reason; sober and quiet; early in the evening) without explanation, show the true colors of management, staff, and ownership. I’ve recommended them before. The large gathering of potential customers who visit every year around this time? Gone, and see ya sideburns. Great job representing the welcoming culture of Dayton.
