We had our staff party (~50 people) at AOK and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The space is awesome: super comfortable and cute, easy to navigate, and really accessible, which made it perfect for a big group just looking to relax and have fun.
The drinks were top-notch, the games were a huge hit, and the vibe was exactly what we were hoping for. Huge shoutout to Cara and Nova 🥰, they were both so friendly, welcoming, and made everything feel effortless from start to finish.
It was such an easy, stress-free night, and our whole team had an absolute blast. We’d 100% recommend this spot and would happily come back again!

Had such a fun time here! Felt retro-y with the old games. Vibe is calm (at least when my partner and I went), and not overpriced at all.

We didn’t have food so I cannot rate it. We showed up with not much time in night however had a blast. The drinks are delicious and the games are so much fun to play with a group. The decorations and vibe are on par. I wish we had more time but if I’m in the area we will go back.

Really cool and inclusive place. Tons of games and events and a good beer list and cool cocktails/cocktails. Decent non alcoholic beers too!

Needs more variety In food. Furthermore the craft beers are delicious
I got the feeling the staff did not want to serve me, the woman who took my order was very brusque with me and forced the card machine towards me before I even had the opportunity to pull out my cash. I used to come here all the time but definitely felt the servers’ attitude towards me change once I started wearing my Canada ball cap. Will not be returning.

Friendly crowd with a nice selection of games. Quite a few were out of order.

My girlfriend and I really liked going to this place as the atmosphere is nice and the games are fun, we’ve been there a couple of times before this experience and it was fine however tonight really put a bad taste in our mouth and we doubt we’ll be back. We ordered a few items and unfortunately only had cash (nothing under $100 bills) for an order that wasn’t very much. We know it’s annoying but as I said, that’s all we had. The woman standing at the bar gave us so much attitude over it and at first didn’t want to give us the drink we already ordered, before accepting but literally snatched the money from my hand as she took it after complaining. She then walked away shaking her head to go get our change from the back. After she returned, she threw the money down in my hand and it dropped down on the counter. She then proceeded to angrily put the rest of the bills she grabbed from the back into the register, making it very obvious she was pissed (god forbid she has to stop standing there talking to her coworker and actually do her job). She also was previously sitting on top of the island while chatting which is unprofessional and overall not sanitary. Finally, when she dropped our order off to us, we were standing at the hockey table playing the game and she didn’t say a word as she left the item behind us, whereas the man working there politely dropped off the other items and let us know. As I said, I understand we (very slightly) inconvenienced her however the way she handled the situation was completely unprofessional, uncalled for, and just extremely rude. I feel she really needs more intense training on how to politely handle customers or she shouldn’t be working in customer service at all.
