Was super excited to come here for the first time. Brought my whole family, young and old to the venue with hopes to do some bowling or karaoke. Was dismayed to be told that the wait for karaoke was four hours. Put my name on the bowling list and that was three hours long! We were there with a child (who isn’t allowed after 10PM) and arrived at 6, so we were looking at having to hang around until well past when kids were allowed just to do the activities we wanted to do. (let alone well past their bedtime). Ultimately, I struggled to put my finger on why I was so dissatisfied and will never return and determined that the venue was not good enough as a bar to be worth coming just for drinks, was likely not good enough for food to be a venue to seek for food, was not good enough for games to be more appealing than say the likes of Dave and Buster’s, and was clearly not capable of being good enough to even be able to provide the likes of karaoke or bowling to beat venues that specialize in those things to be appealing. The craziest thing of all was the second floor karaoke room was empty and vacant. So they clearly don’t prioritize these activities and clearly want to bring people on the door to buy alcohol and food vice the other activities. Unfortunate, because I really wanted to like this place. I can’t see coming back.

First time here, pretty cool, service was good but different. Then again I haven't been to a place like this in a while. In short, I had to ask for utensils, napkins, an order that was missed. The servers were specific, meaning you ask for a knife, you only get a knife. You ask for napkins you only get napkins.. it was different.. you'd think they give you everything you need at time of seating including plates for shareables. But all in all, aside from a different experience, food was good, I never got my water refilled and if you like games, bowling, karaoke, try it out!!

Super cool spot to hang out during the week or special events! It works great for big gathering. We tried the karaoke room it was very small but it was also very fun & functional we were allowed to eat &drink in there. I had a blast & will definitely be back. The problem in the beginning is we spent over 10 minutes waiting for help & the front desk. The spot was not busy on a Sunday evening...however no one was literally around anywhere! We had to go deep inside to find a random worker over at the bowling shoes station 🤷‍♂️ well forgiven cause drinks were awesome ! Super different, everything is aesthetic & also the service after that was awesome!

Very fun place Food was good, I do warn if you plan on bowling or karaoke, at least for when me and my party of 12+ went, at least a 2-3 hour wait. But you do have other side games to play- the Jinga with the ring light photo shoot. Which the photos were free- was great. But we had planned on bowling, but we all had work the next day- so we couldn't wait/be out long enough to bowl. The food was good, I had the boneless wings- and it was perfect, not burned, great tasting sauce. I would add more photos- but I don't want to put my group up incase anyone doesn't consent to their photo online. They had close parking, and I got there around 1500-1600 on a Sunday, which is free parking on Sundays. All in all- good experience.

The food was delicious! We ordered the wings, guacamole, sliders, nachos and burger and they were all delicious! The drinks were all good and not overwhelming! They were the perfect blend of tasty. It gets super busy on Friday. We were unable to grab any of the bowling lanes. But the karaoke room was lit!! Everything was greatly priced and it’s def a happening spot
