Great place for fun, and the food was delicious! Throwing ? is great fun!
I did a photoshoot here for a wedding shoot and everyone was very accommodating and helpful! Elyas was the bartender and he was very helpful to us and helped us find more ideas for the shoot! Great business!
What a fun little bar and grill took me back to my teenage years lots of fun arcade games great food good drinks my teenage daughter even had fun
That was a good effin' burrito.
In town visiting and had a group event here was lots of fun! And the giant pretzel was exactly that!!!! Took 3 of us 2 days to eat the whole thing!!
What a great place!! Whether you’re good at it or you suck it’s a great time all around! We even had a company outing here and everyone had such a fun time, really got to see the compete level come out of people. Good beer selection too!
Abby was such an amazing host and the pizza and atmosphere was very welcoming. The pizza was absolutely delicious!
Cool fun retro arcade bar!
I saw a review about this same situation earlier but decided to go anyways. The guy working was extremely rude the second we walked in and I figured he was going to try to pull something because we were younger than the other people in the bar. He then proceeded to scan my boyfriend's ID 5 times before giving it back. He then denied my ID saying it might be fake. He rudely asked for another form of ID and at that point I didn't even want to stay. I wouldn't recommend this place for any college students. Send your business to somewhere that respects their customers! If you don't want people 21-22 in your bar, put that on the website so I don't bother driving 30 minutes.
Their gambling machine took $100 from me and the bartender took down my name and number and address to send me my money back. Then after a couple weeks I called and they said they'd call me back so I waited another couple of weeks. Qnother bartender said "they aren't responsible for their machines." Why not say that the first time instead of playing me on for weeks.

Great service at this place and the food was really good. Smaller menu and small bar, but they made it work. We threw axes for an hour and a few arcade games afterward. Nice way to kill a couple of hours! Ely was a great bartender, all around good vibes.
Don't get me wrong, the place is really fun. It's one of a few places around with good arcade games and the only axe throwing lanes anywhere nearby. But I went in tonight with my fiance to play some games for her birthday, and since it was past 8pm they scan IDs at the door. Hers got scanned and confirmed that it was real. Mine got looked at, and looked at. It was scanned, the scanner confirmed it was valid ID and the bouncer still claimed it was fake. My ID is from when I was 18, since it doesn't expire until two years from now when I turn 26. It's 7 years old, and has been in and out of my wallet a lot since it is in front of my other cards. Some of the numbers are a little worn and look a little soft. That part I understand. He still claimed it was a fake even after his scanner confirmed my ID was valid. I was in two other bars prior to this who also scanned and checked my ID and had zero issues. I then had to sit and "prove" that my birthday was my birthday. He (for some reason) accepted my Facebook profile as proof, even though I can set my profile to whatever I want. My fiance still wanted to play games, so we went in and immediately were greeted by the staff talking about us being able to get in. She ordered food and was handed a buzzer that flashed but never buzzed and since it was in my pocket I didn't realize it until well after the mini tacos got set out on the pickup window. They were mostly warm, and the paper boat had a nice glob of ketchup on the bottom when we picked it up.
I've had fun here before, and I've even had my ID checked by the same guy with the same machine within the last two years, but I don't think I'll be coming back.
My fiancé and I had a fantastic time here! We only did axe throwing and honestly that’s all we needed to do to have a great experience. The instructor is super nice and continues to give tips through your hour axe throwing to help you build your confidence!
