Very nice pool hall and a good selection of beers. Good separation between bar area and play area. Played pool with a friend here on a Friday. Gets busy on weekends with karaoke so recommend getting there early to grab a table

Such a fun place!! Basically just looks like a basement with a bar, couches with video games, board games, and pool tables. Cheap drinks and great vibes. Definitely a fun place to go!

The ambiance was really nice. I loved it here, and we enjoyed playing the games for hours. The game list is really nice too, they have a lot of games for different platforms. It was a bit pricey but I enjoyed the beers. Service was fast - it got busy really soon after we arrived at 6. Would definitely come early as there's only three video gaming stations.

This is honestly a hidden gem. It's such a fun bar with old school video games, board games and pool tables. They also have shuffle board. We came for Trivia night which is every Thursday. They also have Karaoke on Friday nights. The trivia was organized and fun with a great variety of questions. They took a Polaroid photo of us and put on their wall. Will definitely be back!

PROS: This place is nice! They have a full bar, video games, pool tables, and a shuffle board table. The staff is relatively nice, and their bartender Denise is the best! They also have karaoke and trivia night some nights. Their prices for the games are also very reasonable CONS: They do not have a kitchen so you have to order elsewhere and they only have a few tables, so its not good for groups of 6+ OVERALL: I'll be coming back here, but if you're in a big group just be aware of this

Ordered: Tea-Cess (~$10): Sweet Tea Vodka, Muddled Lemons, Soda Water, and Lemonade Pool Table for 4+ people ($20/hour flat rate) Aya's take: Came here with a bunch of coworkers around 6pm and it was a blast. From the drinks to the plethora of pool tables, it's an easy environment to be social and unwind after a long week. The Tea-cess drink is basically "a spiked Arnold Palmer in a mason jar". It was light and tasty, and at $10, their cocktails are well-priced. The pool tables are by the hour but if you come with a big group, you can easily split up into multiple tables. Great spot!

Hidden gem in a convenient location with a great bar and awesome setup! Came here on a Thursday night with friends and had a great time. We didn't realize they have trivia nights every Thursday at 8:30pm, which was very fun. They also have karaoke nights and some other events. Their space is very cool. You can rent a pool table for $20/hour or play some video games off their giant screens. We will definitely be back -- the staff here was very friendly.

What a great hangout spot! I've been here a couple of times with groups of friends and it was a great time. Tons of games and activities to choose from ranging in pool, shuffleboard, board games, video games and card games. They also just added a karaoke night! There's a full bar AND it's byo food. I'm pretty sure you could even have Uber eats,etc. delivered! Definitely a fun bar worth looking into !
