Extremely friendly, helpful and supportive bartenders/staff! The drinks were very good, though not sure how the food is because we did not eat there. There are lots of cool interesting arcade games to play and the atmosphere is very fun & chillaxed! Truly we cannot express just how great and kind the service was!
