First of all $4.50 for a budlight is outrageous! Second make sure you take a gas mask with you. The smoke/fog in there is overwhelming! Very hard to breathe. And the bathrooms, omg they are disgusting! I’ve seen cleaner bathrooms at rest stops! Last thing, It’s a hole in the wall bar, but they act like it’s a 5 start restaurant! Their dress code policy is pathetic! I honestly don’t recommend this place at all, but to each their own.

Night club/Bar busiest nights are Friday and Saturday, open on Sunday. During the week I couldn't tell you if they're open. Older crowd; I'd say 35 and older. But if you're younger and love 70s,80s, and 90s and some 2000s, it's the spot for you. Videos playing and matching the song that you're listening to. Guys you can try to get in with shorts and sandals but I think that they are frowned upon. Women are allowed with shorts on, that's funny huh? No dress code enforced for the girls.

So So disappointed. My husband and I made reservation for his birthday. We are early birds so we did let them know that. We were told there would be a DJ and good music at the time of out arrival. We got there an waited at the door for 10min. No one waited on us. The atmosphere was a bunch of little kids running around. We were all dressed up and so so disappointed. We ended up leaving after No one helped us or showed us to our table.

This would be the second time I visit a Funkmeyers Rec Room, and I got to say both were equally entertaining. On this evening, we went earlyish on a Friday night and talk about perfect timing. Not too crowded, with just the right amount of energy, The video machines were up for grabs, (Pac- Man, Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat, Centipede and others, the only this missing was an ol pinball machine) while others were watching the college football game on the giant projector screen. I also noticed a stage, not sure what this is for but could be for karaoke. Soon after they lower the lights just a little bit and pump up the music to your favorite 80s & 90s era, you can't help but to dance where you are. They do have a happy hour, (?) which we had just missed, of course, but still average price on drinks. Our waiter was funny and fast, and makes a great Margarita. There are attentive to their customers as long as you sitting at the bar, other than that you are pretty much on your own. There is second mini bar right smack in the middle of the game area so it's no big deal getting a refill. Overall I had a great time so much fun, I kissed a girl and I liked it and I will definitely be going back again. If you are of the video arcade generation, you must visit this place for yourself. It's a blast from the past but now you get to do it as an adult and with the beer, how fun is that?

We popped in on a Friday afternoon; they had just opened. Bartender was very friendly. Arcade games we’re on free play and it was happy hour. We stuck around for several hours and had a great time. The staff was great, the drinks tasty (and not watered down). The music was fun, 80’s-90’s mostly. I can’t wait to go back. (Oh and they let our up hang out with us!!)
