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.

Ignored by bartender after the regular customers came in for family feud, was only able to order one round of drinks before we sat for 20 minutes at the bar without being helped while the bartender talked to the regular customers. Decent prices and fun atmosphere, but seriously lacking in the customer service department.

Apparently the owner likes to invalidate customer’s experiences with rude comments. Disappointing because we actually wanted to like this place.

Wife and I finally were able to get a babysitter and wanted to check this place out. Got there around 4:30 and it was fine until about 5 when people started to come in. Bartender was more worried about talking to her friends and what seemed like regulars that came in, and we sat there waiting to order another drink for almost 20 minutes. Games are outdated and some don’t work, as other reviews have stated, so to us it wasn’t worth the $40 we spent.

*EDIT*
We were served normally until other customers came in, all of which knew the bartender so she focused on them. Our first round of drinks was ordered before the bar started getting traffic, so once regulars came in we essentially were ignored which is when we waited 20 minutes (while the one singular bartender schmoozed with regulars) to order ANOTHER (reading is essential!) drink before deciding to just close the tab and leave. More than one game was broken as well; the buttons on Mario don’t work properly, the pinball machine wouldn’t work at all, the hunting game’s aim is nowhere near accurate. Making snide comments about a customer’s review history is both weird because you felt the need to look at my profile and rude, definitely not a way to get business. Do better.

*EDIT 2*
Deleting your original nasty response doesn't change anything; your ONE and ONLY bartender at the time was busy serving customers she knew and it's common sense to check on ALL customers sitting at the bar, not just the ones who are regulars. We weren't at a table, we were literally sitting at the bar and got ignored for 20 minutes despite trying to get the bartender's attention. The theme of the bar was understood which is why we chose to come there on our one night off. None of my reviews are of a small business unless you consider mold on a Burger King (fortune 500 company, far from a small business) acceptable? All this goes to show is that you're a poor business owner; if you have an event going on (which you do practically every night) you need to make sure you have enough staff to serve all customers, not just the ones they know. That's essential to operating a successful business, otherwise you get negative reviews. If your employees are so hardworking and NEVER ignore customers in favor of regulars, then I guess the other reviews stating the same thing as I am are liars too LOL

*EDIT 3*
Owner reports and removes negative reviews even if they're accurate. Reviews don't speak for themselves when you remove the bad ones 😂
