I had a great time on my visit. The bartender was attentive and friendly. They have a very large selection of craft beers. The bar is packed with retro video games and modern pinball games. There is also a board game room. The bar is gay and alternate lifestyle friendly.

One of the better bar run-ins I’ve had. The owner PJ was real chill and you could tell he knew all his regulars. They had karaoke night, which I’d never participated in karaoke before, so you know I had to join! Had a fantastic time there, will be returning for the pool and pinball machines!

Casual gaming bar. Beer and wine only, as of 2021. However they have a large selection, which includes ciders, and hard seltzers for people who don't like beer. Staff are very accommodating, and are happy to help you find the right beverage. They feature several local beers on tap. The walls have fun, colorful murals painted with various arcade game motifs. There are pinball & arcade games, plus - darts, pool tables, foos ball, and air hockey. The bar also has a bookcase full of boardgames, Anna tables to play at, that will keep your crew entertained! I would not recommend this place for kids, despite the gaming stuff. The atmosphere is aimed at adults, and a great place to let your hair down. My only nit-pick is that I wish the arcade games and pinball were cheaper to play. All in all, my gang and I had a blast, and are looking forward to making another night of it.

I absolutely love this bar! Fun, relaxed atmosphere with arcade games, pool, air hockey, and low-priced drinks. Every third Friday of the month they have a free game night with a fantastic BBQ stand.

Where has this place been all of my life!!! Love it!! Pinball, full bar and food next door so all needs are met We'll be back over & over again. It's the place to go and enjoy!! Lots of neat add-ons like game controllers hanging out, Pac Man lights!! So glad to have found it!!

Enjoyed my experience both times I’ve been here. Bartenders are friendly, great selection of board games. Overall had a great time here.
