I went to the restaurant mid-afternoon on a Sunday and took on the “Play With Your Food” challenge (which I won). The vibes were awesome, the food was delicious, and the owner I met (Alan) was friendly and a great guy. Definitely recommend this place.

I really enjoyed the arcade classics and a great choice of fun drinks with pub food classics. I enjoyed playing the ninja turtles and old school pinball options. I found the wings really good along with the sliders .

Incredible experience, great drinks and wonderful atmosphere! Bartenders were attentive and friendly and they incredibly professional all at the same time serving a fully seated bar. Food arrived quickly, loved the artwork and the design. Plenty of space even for multiple groups to be in the same area without ever making the place feel too crowded. Will definitely be returning!

Travis the bartender was hilarious and so good at his job, and the rest of the staff were great too. We happened to catch the Seafood at Sunset event with free seafood pasta from La Rhonda — such a nice touch! The upstairs deck and swings were the perfect place to chill out, and the music selection was spot-on. The attention to detail with the cassette tape wall and VHS wall was killer. I even tried the Dunkaroo shot, which was a trip! The food was just as fun as t
