⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 — Great experience, but some room for improvement Your 3rd Spot truly stands out as an awesome and unique place. Anyone who checks in—whether with a reservation or as a walk-in—the staff makes you feel like absolute royalty entering the space. It’s a fun and welcoming start to the evening. I made a reservation for 5:15 PM on a Saturday for a date night with my wife. We arrived right on time, and by 5:40 PM we were fully checked in and seated for dinner. The entry fee is $25 per person, which includes three hours of access to the games inside (except bowling). Bowling is an additional $15 per person for one hour. The venue also offers three hours of free parking—you simply scan the QR code at the entrance and enter their passcode to activate it, which is a really convenient perk. Once seated, our server Josh took great care of us. He was extremely pleasant, respectful, and patient while explaining the menu and answering our questions. The food is served as small, shareable plates, and everything we tried tasted excellent. We ordered about five items—Grilled Shrimp on baguette, Thai Beef Skewers, Chicken Taco, and Chicken & Waffle—and all were delicious with great presentation. Our check came to $140, which included three cocktails and a 20% automatic gratuity. After dinner, we explored the gaming area. The space was very lively, but almost every game was occupied, and the only way to play was to wait behind someone currently using it. That part wasn’t ideal, especially since we didn't feel comfortable standing behind people without knowing how long they’d be. We’re not big arcade or racing-game players, but we do love bowling, so we purchased an hour of bowling separately. Even though we paid the $25 entry fee per person, we didn’t actually use it for any games due to the long waits. I also didn’t love that the entry fee payment screen suggested a tip, which felt unnecessary and created a slightly awkward first impression. A few more observations: Families with kids are only allowed Saturday and Sundays from 12–6 PM; otherwise, the venue is 21+. It would be great if bowling could be included as an option during the initial entry fee checkout. Since I only bowled and didn’t use any other games, paying an additional ~$38 (with tax & gratuity) on top of the $60 entry felt a bit excessive. Overall, the staff was wonderful, the vibe was fantastic, and the food was excellent. The only downsides were the crowded games and feeling like I paid for access I didn’t really use. It was a fun night out, but at the end $300 spend for me and wife for an 3 hour outing is pretty steep.
