This place is always fun! Lots of grate games, pool and pinball! Just wish there were better hours to bring my son for time to time. But it is primarily a bar, but love that kids can come enjoy it. Food is great too.

Buddy! I don't mind tellin' ya, the wings here are SICK! However, therein lies the issue here.. holy crow that was a frig around just trying to get some the last visit. We placed our orders on the little papers and brought 'em up and paid for em. Half the table got their orders although the server couldn't name one flavour as part of them. Not a huge deal she may have been new. They were half done before their dips showed up and we still hadn't gotten our order. One of our cohorts shot up to the window and inquired and the response was "We can give you your number placard back if it makes you feel better" Since that didn't make a lick of sense, obviously he declined. They had finished their food and I now went to the booth to ask where our orders were.. allegedly our number placard was at the wrong side of the table and gottej taken away.. which.. shouldn't.. that's still a head scratcher.

They gave me a fresh number placard and we continued to wait for the order. It was brought out after having been remade which I suppose was nice to have fresh food, except for an item being WILDLY over fried.. could have hit the roulette table with those pickle chips. Wings still ruled.. never discount those wings. The- A manager offered a refund.. of a twenty dollar bill on a twenty six dollar order... Likely gratuity was included in the refund which I don't blame the venue for but our assinine tipping culture.. not sure the dismissiveness and refusal to apologize for sub par service should garner a twenty three percent tip but thems the breaks.

Anyways.. great games and food.. service this time was cooked but honestly a damn good wing and game spot. Just a bad experience this time 'round.

If you are looking for a place to unwind with some axe throwing, billiards, and killing some zombies, this is "The Place". ( No pun intended 😜)

Fun atmosphere, decent size, variety of games from Pin Ball, to shooting zombies/dinosaurs, to some old school Street fighter and Space Invaders. If you are into racing games, check out their Mario Kart station. Super fun!

Had a blast playing some DDR (makes me want to buy the actual control pad for the PS2 game.) Good Times!

Great place to grab a drink and play some games. Great selection of games. I didn't try the food but it looked good. Will try some next time.

Love the chalk wall when we first walked in. All games use coins and there is a coin machine at the entrance of the bar.
It was very dark when we got there at 6. There were lots of tables and the games were in decent condition.
When we walked by later in the night it had a night feel.
Its was fun and would come again

Took the 13 and 5 yr old there on Wing Wednesday and was alot of fun! Games for both ages and the food was really good! Wings were delicious and I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it was dynamite! Our server was super awesome too, she was always checking in and making sure we had everything and everything was in a timely fashion!

Used to come here when it was various different bars, but now it is a bar with video games in it. Not a whole lot of games but definitely a few fun ones so worth a visit. I noticed when I was on the dance floor that some of the patrons were young enough to be my child. So basically good for the young and old. Atmosphere was nice and the sound system is good, nice pounding Bass and they played songs from the early 2000s a few times so pretty awesome.
