Great atmosphere. Love the game selection. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. Definitely would recommend going again.

Great food, and great games. It really reminds me of the classic arcades of the 80's and 90's. I could spend all day here. There is something really satisfying about watching your kids duke it out on mortal combat. The pinball is awesome, and there are even a few console styled games at the bar. Service is OK, there was only one bartender, and he was very busy. He did, however, do a good job.

Pretty cool place! We enjoyed the evening playing games and a few beverages! The games were great, but there were several games that didn't work or required credits! Kinda disappointing! The bar is huge, and the employees are friendly! Very inviting business! After 8 pm, minors have to leave the premises!

This is a really tough one for me because although my kids absolutely loved going there, the food was awful and the service was just as bad. Now don't get me wrong, it's a sports bar so it's going to be sports bar type of food and I don't expect a five-star restaurant. But the pretzel was awful and the dip for our other appetizer tasted like cardboard. I expect a little bit better than that, even at a bar. And the service... our waitress was on her phone the majority of the time. I don't mind people checking their phone here and there but she was literally just sitting there looking at it and then showing things on her phone to other workers who were trying to do their job. If we went again I would probably just drop my kids off and have them play the games as they are older teens and young adults and don't need my supervision and then I would go somewhere else to eat and drink. It's in a really cool shopping area so there are a lot of other things to see and do if you decide to go there. There were a lot of TVs and a lot of beers to choose from if that's all you want.

Love this place! Great blast from the past. Has most of my favorites and most games are in good order, but there are a few that need attention. But it only costs $7 for unlimited gameplay! They have an extensive list of draft beers and ciders. I had a Cherry and a Peach cider and both were great. We ordered a small meal for snack - tenders and fries which were good and came out really fast. Overall a great time!
