Literally love nostalgia. I actually met my fiance here and every time I go there the staff is so professional and in love with what they do. It's like a tiny piece of the past at a home where everyone is welcome

My friends and I came for trivia and left with memories (and 2nd place). None of us have ever been here before but we definitely enjoyed it. We were greeted by smiling faces when we came in and all of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The night was nothing but laughter, great company and good vibes. Nostalgia Lounge is a hidden gem and we will be returning.

Great drinks and great food at really great prices and lots of games to keep us entertained. We attended a gaming tournament there and would definitely recommend!

I wish there were better things I could say about Nostalgia. I have gone up there a handful of times and each time I've been there has been some what of a disappointment.
For starters: The gentlemen who works behind the bar, who I think is the owner, is not very good. Every time I have sat at the bar to get drinks it has taken him an upwards of 15-20ish minutes JUST to see what I'm ordering. And that's not even including the time it takes him to make said drink. And it's not just a one time thing. It has been every time I've been there.
The food: What they have there is sub-par at best. Their wings are greasy slabs of chicken where what ever flavor they are supposed to emulate is either non existent or is so muted by all the grease that you can't tell between a Garlic Parmesan wing or a Buffalo wing. Not to mention the outrageous prices for some of the food. 8 dollars for a small nacho platter? 12 dollars for 3 BARELY breaded Chicken Tenders? No thanks.
The Entertainment: Karaoke is okay, when it doesn't take over an hour and a half to get called on. For their Halloween party, there were people who came in hours after my party got their and then were immediately called on to sing.
The Games: It's one thing to have retro style games but when half or more of them either don't work, the machines are not functioning properly, or the screen is just broken doesn't exactly make me want to return. Case in point, I tried to play Cruisin World with Manual Shifting option and the shifter didn't even work. Not to mention the sticky pads and guns, and not to mention the broken screen that doesn't work for the Area 51/Maximum Force game.
The Staff (excluding the manager) The girls that work there are fine. At least they have more of an initiative to take my or my party's orders and actually get it right. The only reason I'm giving the service a 3 star is due to the fact that I know one of the bartenders and she has always helped me, as well as others at the bar.
This bar could do with a better location, better food, better entertainment, and a better management.

The food and drinks are good, but the last three times I went to their karaoke nights, I waited around for 2+ hours for my songs to be called, and they never were save when I get there when it's empty. It's obviously a chore to make sure everyone gets a turn, but it sucks when I come out to have fun and end up waiting around while people who got there significantly later than me get several turns at the mic while I'm twiddling my thumbs. I suggest going elsewhere for karaoke.

Thank you for being my favorite bar in ohio I discovered on my own randomly over a year ago!💜 You guys always do a good job with trivia & music bingo & the themed DJ party things. Most trivias are things I am interested in such as star wars,pokemon,disney and a lot more. Most music bingos has my favorite genres like rock, pop,alternative and more. I enjoy the shirley temples & pretzel bites very much. The servers are always sweethearts in my eyes. I am thankful for them & the good cooks there. I am very happy to run into this place. I literally walked in a random day completely down about my life trying to open myself up again slowly & this place literally adds sunshine in my life. It has made my life a lot better. It has a lot of games I enjoy so much. I love sharing this place to everyone I know and it's my go to place that I love to reccomend by word all connections to check it out. :)

This place would get a perfect score if so many of the games weren't broken and if it was freeway for 21 and up as long as you're drinking. The 5 dollar wristband and then multiple games being broken is a buzz kill. But outside of that this place is a gem.

This is a really neat idea for a bar and my son has come here a few times and enjoyed it but not so much me. We came with hopes of ordering pizza but were told the cook does not come in until 6:30 so all that was available was the back of the menu which is appetizers. We did order food that was as expected for bar food. We ordered fountain drinks that did not taste like anything and that we did not drink and were charger for. There were retro games which was neat but a lot of the machines were not working correctly. You do have to pay extra per game for pool which in my opinion should be included in the wrist band price. The bartenders fell short. For the duration of our visit we sat at the bar 4 of us and during that time we ordered drinks and food and came and went from the bar to get our drinks because there are stickers that state to not put drinks on the games (can’t play games while holding drinks) Once trivia started one of the bar tenders asked if we were still drinking our drinks because they needed the bar space which I answered no. I thought it was a silly question to begin with because obvisouly we were using the bar and the seats. When I ordered food and drinks I was asked if I was going to pay cash and had to pay before my order was placed (at least that is what it sounded to me when asked) I paid cash before my order was submitted. After getting a drink I was asked if I wanted my change and I stated yes at that point I was met with a dirty look. We also did not receive a drink we ordered but were charged for. I tip after all services have been rendered. My recommendation is the bartenders be trained more on proper etiquette when dealing with customers. I tipped off the drinks/food/service we received before we left and the tip was much more then it should have been but I believe in tipping at least 20%. The trivia was a nice touch and a lot of people seemed to enjoy it.
