Great atmosphere and cool assortment of drinks. So disappointed they’re closing at the end of the month!

?? Hangout MKE Cafe & Lounge ???? LOCATION (= 1 ⭐️) - Right on the east side of downtown, next door to a super pizza joint. Inside the restaurant is clean, lots of room for seating, and unbelievably unique game set up.??✍️ SERVICE (= 1 ⭐️) - The service was fast. The baristas were also very sweet!?? COFFEE (= 1 ⭐️) - Coffee was adequate.?? PRICE (= 1 ⭐️) - Price for the coffee and food is good. Here’s where I’m conflicted though. I’m order to play the big games like ping pong, pool, life size soccer, (anything run really) you’re required to pay $12 a person. We’ll we were there for a little date night on a Friday, and there were maybe two people using the area. $$24 to play some games for an hour seems very high. We didn’t pay for that, we just ended up playing UNO and guess who ? which was still fun! If I could give a half star here I would, but I can’t, so I still give a full star. (I believe if they made that area $5 a person, they would make SO much more money due to the amount of people willing to pay) That’s the Sam Walton method.??? EXPERIENCE (= 1 ⭐️) - If you’re willing to pay the extra price to get the big games - one of the coolest places in the city!!? Overall Thoughts - 4 1/2 ⭐️’s! But I’ll round up because we did have such a great experience :)

Went to do some homework paid for a drink to get the wifi code and then the wifi times out after an hour or so not very student friendly

Amazing flight of coffee/tea and games this morning. Loved the life-sized game of operation and learned how to play bumper pool. Pool tables, big Yahtzee, Nintendo, soccer ball pool (just try it), and board games abound.

Came in for a meeting with a local non profit and was pleasantly surprised at what I found. While I was meeting with the group, there were several other groups of multiple sizes including a children's party, but we were not bothered at all. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. There was an awesome variety of food and drinks including waffle flights and caffeine flights (which were so fun and cool). I would definitely come back again, maybe with the kids next time! The only thing I think they can improve on is availability of plugs - we had a lot of laptops in our group and struggled to find plugs for everyone.

I am always looking for new places for myself and my partner to go to whenever we spend the day together. This place did not disappoint! They have a vast drink selection of coffees, teas, and even alcohol. But their gaming selection is bound to bring out the child in ANYONE who comes here. For only $12 each we got unlimited use of all the games they have in house. They even have free board and card games for folks. It was a great afternoon here and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. I got one of the energizing teas while my partner enjoyed her coffee flight. We both were very happy with our selections. I’d recommend this place for all ages truthfully and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Visited this place from Virginia. This place has a cool vibe. The loaded strawberry cream Belgium waffle was good. Very sweet. The guy who took my order was kind.

My husband and I were super excited to come here for his birthday today. When we got here we were the only ones in line, but There were two girls behind the counter working hard to fulfill online orders. After about 10 minutes of waiting without them looking out way or acknowledging our presence a guy walked up to ask a question. And one of the girls was super rude to him. My husband and I decided to go elsewhere after this. We have no problem waiting if it is busy and we were asked to wait , but to not even be acknowledged was frustrating.

Fun spot to take kids or spend an afternoon with friends. Unique concept. Clean. The hours are a bit wonky esp with parties being able to privately reserve the games at random times, so I always call ahead. The coffee is nothing special but they have some good snacks

Awesome place. Get paper or biodegradable straws! One of a kind establishment. All ages, professional, clean, fun. Can't wait for live music again. Highly recommend.

Wow this place is incredible! My sister looked this place up online and figured on our road trip we should make a stop, so happy we did. We all had a great time. I love the whole idea behind this lounge; it is great for everyone: by yourself, friends, family, or date night! They have a whole section of board games that are free for paying customers along with the oversized games throughout the lounge. While we only came to play games they serve food, breakfast all day along with a variety of non alcoholic & alcoholic drinks. The staff was very friendly and explained how everything worked with the game pass and how board games are free for paying customers. They sanitizer all the games and high touch areas with providing signage for the items they have not gotten to yet. They offer hand sanitizer to use and require all guest to wear a face mask. We saw quite a few people just stop in to pick up lunch, come in to study next to the fireplace, and some just to sit and chat with a cup of coffee. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Milwaukee!
