So glad I went to this! It was so fun, and a great price for 4 great cocktails. Supporting the student actors who also doubled his weight. Staff was just an added bonus!
Came for the first time for the ROAR rooftop view to see the fireworks. One website and the official website never said the seating are reserved only, my mother with disability was disappointed. Plus it has free admission but have to pay $5 to stand up ?? Workers: The service was welcoming and friendly. Rooftop bar for one small drink for $13 is questionable. Overall, good services. The Live Music: The band was RagtopBetty, they were pretty good, wish I got alittle closer to film them but when you’re short, there’s disadvantages for a rooftop band. Atmosphere: Fancy and would be good for spaces but the service keeps inviting more and more people to the rooftop to where everyone was crowded and bumping into each other. The people: The people that were also wanting to see the fireworks- I hated it. It was very diverse (Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, etc friendly) but as an African American woman, I felt unwelcome. It’s 2025, but there’s still racism ? The people & service: If one person or two people reserve a seating area (4-6 seats or lounge couches), for an hour or two has went by and you know you don’t have a party coming, could of at least offer a seat to those who’s been standing there !? Or service should have gave them an only one seat or two seating area instead of taking a whole couch !! For standing around for an hour, at least I brought my own sparklers 🥹
A great evening of talented, amateur performers who make and serve a mean couple o’ cocktails- fabulous and fun all around! I do not believe they served any food at the event but the beverages were *chef’s kiss*!!
We attended the Edgar Allen Poe Speak Easy.The food downstairs in the venue itself was terrible and the server was rude. However the performers and the drinks served by the artists were amazing. The atmosphere was lovely and we had an amazing night overall. Beautiful. We look forward to part one! The venue itself was very fun looking but we weren’t there for the venue more so for the event.
First of all the concept is good for it to be a mall of entertainment. The putt putt, arcade, lan gaming, food and atmosphere is overall good for one stop fun. This is where it goes south, everything costs way too much to begin with and you will stress more about the cost versus how much fun. Only 7 holes of mini golf is 10 dollars per person. They have two courses you pay for separately so 14 holes cost 20 per person total. Times that by 4 people in our party 80 bucks for around 40 mins or so plus tip. It was fun except some of the holes miscalculated the points even when done right in the 5000 point blue hole and only got 2500?. Second The arcade is credits and costs a minimum of 5 dollars for 20 credits, although this is Saturday peak time. There may be deals on non peak days for credits. The pizza in the food court has a rating of 93 as you can see in one of my pictures. We spent 100 dollars plus parking fee for about 1 hour of fun. It's great if you have the money to spend, we like ours too much to pay this again. Nothing really bad or awful just was too expensive and I was afraid to try the pizza because of the food rating.
