- PPPapichuy Papichuy6 days ago4.0They have way more games for the kids , needs better selection on the draft beers 🍻
- SRSaif RawasJan 2, 20263.0Fun with groups of friends and workers or large gatherings. I think they can make more innovative fun games like human crane, but compared to other arcade places they can have more variety. Unfortunately, some of the games were broken the last few times I went.
- JTJames TheelDec 20, 20252.0Such a weird experience at the front desk at 9:20. A member of the team on the left side of the desk said he was with this location for 7 years and they never had pool tables or shuffleboard. While I couldn't tell if he was on any substances I do know that since I have been coming here sine 1997 that they had pool tables and shuffle boards. I am so sorry this location is on the verge of closing allegedly.
- AAAndrew Ceranski (Andy)Dec 18, 20251.0After waiting 40 minutes for a table, at 6pm, the hostess told our party of 6 they just weren't able to seat us. Would've been good to know while ypu seated other groups behind us.
- TMTony Mendez-MoralesDec 16, 20251.0This is going to sound dramatic, but I promise I’m sugar coating how terrible the service is here. I have never been treated so poorly, to the point that I laughed and genuinely asked if they were kidding. Two separate staff members/waiters (and waitress) treated my family and I terrible. I highly recommend going literally anywhere else.
