"We came to Detour on a Thursday night and the place was packed for a trivia night - super fun and lively. It’s a large open space, great for game nights or other events - they have big screens around the bar that people can play video games on (there’s usually a Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart game going on). They also have arcade machines around the room. We ordered a few drinks, and really enjoyed the Sangria. Our server, TC, was a delight as well and made my friend a “surprise” cocktail that was great.

"Fun spot to hang out with friends. Grabbed a table and looked at the menu. Once we decided, we ordered at the bar. Waited to pick up our drinks which were reasonably priced for the city and decent. Got a buzzer for the food. Portion size for the snacks we’re on the small size but other dishes seemed reasonable. Arcade games were not sticky and they had something for each of us."

"Time warp, rediscovered game nights, video games from back in the days , a solid selection of cocktails and their own take on bar food. In short it works. Feeling bored at home and making new friends but don't feel like dressing up or putting on a show...the detour is a nice mix of 'i could care less' being alone in a crowd or hanging with friends while making new ones. Their food selection is an interesting take on bar food. Yes all the common items you can find like burgers and pizza but we tried their adobo bowl, a bit salty for my taste but otherwise not bad and yes their okonomiyaki "
