They tried to refuse entry over ID despite showing them a residency card lol. They also made us buy water than offer a glass at the bar.

Cool spot! Go before 7 and it's quiet and great for board games. Stay for karaoke if that's your thing. Friendly people!

I want to like this place because the atmosphere with having the games but it stops there. The staff and the drink charges make it difficult once you come up to the bar.Stick to the beer because the charge you for doubles on liqour. You’re paying near $20 for a glass of bourbon. I don’t believe they serve singles. If they do, you’ll probably have to ask for it because the standard pour/charge are doubles.So if you want beer, better be prepared to have two if you want to use your credit card because of their minimum if you’re not paying cash. You’ll also have to pay their credit card processing fee which they have posted as signage (along with the credit card minimum). I know it’s standard for businesses to have this fee, but include it in your pricing vs having an extra line on your receipts and don’t force minimums on credit card paying customers and expect them to be okay with an extra line for the processing fee.Me and my buddies casually brought up this feedback to the staff regarding the minimums, fees, and pricing, and the bartender became very defensive about it and blamed management. We had shared our experience with comparing how other establishments handle this and he acted how this was something that he never heard of. We respected the rules, the bartender, and decided to leave after one drink. Hoping something changes between how their staff interacts (need to be more customer friendly) or their fees because you definitely can’t have both.

Love love love this bar. The aesthetic is very nerdy in the best way possible. Love the Nintendo vibes all around. I’ve played pool, shuffle board, and board games here. The upkeep is 10/10. Clean and cute. The trivia nights are also fun to attend. The karaoke nights get a little crowded so try to get there earlier on every off Friday. Korean food next door is also a great plus!

My brother and dad went here for a nice couple hours of pool. The rates were pretty good, we ended up playing for around 3 hours and it was a good rate. Very nice place, friendly staff and dogs and there were a couple of tables to choose from. Plenty of seating options and the bar and game area offer plenty of flow.

Been here several times, mainly because they're they only bar in the area open late which is why they get 1 star. Every time I go there it's like walking into a private event held by the owner and his friends and I'm not supposed to be there. Also if you dare to order a drink good luck not getting an attitude by the bartenders that clearly hate life.
