    Alright… the place is cool… the vibe can be different. Wicker Parker got some wanna be hipster white folks. If you’re a POC this place is great for other POC to conjugate as I really believe they are a safe space and as a plus they have music that usually tailors to the American (Black) culture. Service wise… there bartenders are really disappointing… especially the short haired lady with lots of tattoos. Ordering drinks with her seemed like she is overwhelmed easily and honestly just should look for a new or better fitting career. I get everyone has bad days but I ordered 4-6 drinks with her during my duration and every time was painful from her facial expressions, rude or backhanded comments, or just attitude upon drink delivery (I hate saying thank you and no and saying anything). Although service from her was off-putting and disappointing I ensured to tip 18% each time as I appreciate her service.

    Lauren is very sweet, she told me about the token deals on Tuesday. I've been coming here regularly for a couple months and every time I come Courtney is so helpful and kind , it's impressive how she's able to fix the machines. If I could I'd add pictures of my high scores, super fun place to hangout especially if you love vintage games. Love the staff ♡

    The lemon drop is overpriced and they taste like lemonade. Also the bartender tried to pour me a small shot glass but gave my friends a regular sized glass and we paid the same price. I believe they’re working with the tow company. Security dont announce to you at the door that you can’t park across the street. Soon as I walked into the party when I walked out every car was towed they charged me $350 and wanted me to pay another $190 fee to tow my car out of the pound gates. I’m disgusted how money hungry these people are to the point they ruining families kids have to get to school and careers by taking people transportation. The streets didn’t have any signs up saying not to park there. The only signs they put up are the pay to park signs which they try to make very confusing so that you won’t understand and they can make money. When I went to pay online it told me payment was required, I also checked the pay box to pay it said payment wasn’t required until 5Am . They’ve towed over 200 cars from that very same street that night . Which means no signs are in sight because you wouldn’t have so many people making the same mistake. Please do not go to this bar unless you want to lose your car . No one informs you and the workers just watch them pick up everyone’s car on the regular basis. The clubs and officers are all involved and probably has the same management as the tow company located 701 N Sacramento their 10 mins away from emporium . When I finally was able to pick up my car after the 3 hour wait to pick up my car they had 2 tickets on my door. Insane after I just gave the city $350 they want more money ! With all the money they make they should put up better signs .
