Not much table seating, but fun atmosphere for old school and new school arcade gaming. Look out for tournaments. Typical bar food and a few unique Japanese beer options.

This place was absolutely fun! The workers were awesome! And even tho I wasn't really hungry, I did have their french fries and they were delicious! And I got to play Ms Pacman! I hadn't played that arcade game in over 40 years! It brought back wonderful memories of how I met my late husband :)Kid-friendliness: Even tho there is an open bar (adults have to show ID's) this place is very kid friendly as arcade games surround the room.
The culinary world is constantly evolving, offering an array of experiences that cater to the diverse tastes and interests of food enthusiasts. Among these experiences, the fusion of dining and gaming has emerged as a unique concept that resonates with a modern, fun-loving demographic. Establishments that combine the thrill of gaming with the pleasure of gastronomy create a vibrant atmosphere that appeals to gamers and foodies alike. The idea of rolling a dice to receive a surprise cocktail adds an element of chance and excitement to the dining experience, reminiscent of the unpredictability and joy found in games. Cocktails, with their complex layers of flavors and artful presentation, often reflect the creativity and skill of the mixologist, much like a chef's signature dish. A well-crafted cocktail can elevate the dining experience, complementing the flavors of the meal and enhancing the overall ambiance. The mention of Chicken Nintendis, presumably a playful take on a chicken dish named after the iconic gaming company Nintendo, suggests a menu that's not only delicious but also imbued with a sense of nostalgia and whimsy. The servers' enthusiasm and attentiveness play a crucial role in creating a welcoming environment where patrons feel valued and taken care of. Their willingness to cater to individual needs ensures that each guest's experience is personalized and memorable. The mention of chicken sliders, whether still on the menu or not, indicates a commitment to offering a variety of dishes that are both comforting and innovative. Such establishments are not just about food and games; they are social hubs where like-minded individuals can gather, share experiences, and create memories. The cool ambiance and the good crowd are testaments to the establishment's success in creating a space where the excitement of gaming and the joy of dining coalesce. This unique blend of entertainment and culinary delight is what sets these venues apart, making them not just a place to eat and play, but a destination for a complete and immersive experience. In essence, the fusion of gaming and dining is more than a trend; it's a reflection of a culture that values interactive and engaging experiences. It's a celebration of community, creativity, and the simple pleasure of enjoying good food and drinks in good company. As the gaming industry continues to grow and influence various aspects of our lives, we can expect to see more innovative concepts that bring together different forms of enjoyment in exciting and unexpected ways.

We stumbled across this place as we took a trip upstate to see the eclipse and we are so happy we did! The vegan tots and sliders were soo good yum - i love that they added jalapenos! All the staff were super friendly and the owner even gave us a walk through of the menu. We also played the roll for a shot which was super fun and a cool way to play a drinking game. We will definitely be back next time we are in the upstate area.

My wife and I stopped by here for some food and drinks, and had a great time! The sliders, tater tots, and sauces were great! Also, we were there the day of the eclipse, so it was way more people than the place was used to. Everyone on staff was definitely busy, but still really attentive and nice even under stress. The owner was really nice too! Stop by, have a great time, and tip well!

The food was great! The sliders aren't too big but I still only finished one due to the fries and tots being SOOO good, and well seasoned. The customer service was great, it was a little loud and hard to be heard but ultimately any staff we asked a question or recommendation they were more than happy to do so. After eating our food we played mortal kombat and had a blast. Spongebob was on the tv playing all the great episodes. I felt like I stepped into my childhood coming into this bar. Would absolutely come back.

One of the coolest bars for nerds. You can play some of the arcade games for free. There are TVs all over the place playing Twitch streams (video games) and some consoles you can rent to use at the bar with friends.THE FOOD IS SO GOOD. Get their tater tots. The drinks are all game-themed. If you dont know what to drink, roll a d20 and take a risk! The crew is all friendly and they know how to keep the place running smoothly. I've been there many times, and will continue to throw my money at them.

This night just become a frequent stop for us while in
I'm always hyper critical of bars and typically only rate bars on amazing experiences or terrible experiences. I'm a huge speakeasy, prohibition era, whiskey bar kind of guy. I love the classic cocktails as they never fail when made right. I'm also a huge mixology fan, though most places miss the mark. That being said, this bar does everything you can do right, and I'll break my review down into multiple sections, as one paragraph is not enough to describe how great of an experience I had here.Atmosphere: The moment I walked in with friends, I knew it was going to be a great spot. They have a lot of classic video game references and old arcade machines. The name "Three Lives" references that as well. It's a small establishment that does so much with the room they have. All of the food and drinks are references to video games, which makes it a better experience.Staff: Every staff member was friendly and welcoming. My group had great conversations with them all about our favorite video games, series, and consoles. It was like talking to people who you grew up playing the same games with. It was a very nostalgic experience to reminisce over the great games created. They were professional the entire time, joked with us, made us laugh, and carried great conversations. I have to give the bartender/mixologist her own highlight. She was an absolute artist with her craft of creating cocktails. She was able to make most of the classics with ease and created her own cocktails that had amazing flavor profiles and spunk towards the bars theme. She was super knowledgeable about mixology as well, which thoroughly impressed me. Like I said previously, she has mastered her craft, and I'm excited to try more of her cocktail creations.Mixology Ingredients: The bar has an average selection of ingredients and spirits, yet they maximize the creativity they can with those ingredients. All of the cocktails are video game based and actually look like what they are referencing. It's such a niche experience you have to experience firsthand. I asked the aforementioned bartender if they had green chartreuse (a rare spirit that I love), and even though they did not, she knew what it was, and we had a great conversation about it. There's some off the menu items you can ask for that make the experience even better.Food: The food is also video game themed and creative as well. I enjoyed my tater tot appetizer. It enhanced the bar experience for me. I can't say too much as I only had the one appetizer, but I'd love to try more items.Events: The bartender invited us to a future emo night event that me and my friends and I will attend. She let us try the cocktails on the list for that night, and they were amazing. Can't wait to have them again. They also have a "Roll for a shot" that is a great experience overall. I enjoyed all the creative shots I rolled for, as did my friends. The shots are just as well thought out as the cocktails and taste great.Overall, it was an amazing experience. I can't wait to go back. I wish I lived closer to the bar.
