  I love the arcade/bar combo idea, and overall we had a fun time here.
  
  Great food! However, our server asked us to close out our check so suddenly we missed out on ordering the desserts we had all planned for. (Apparently the kitchen closes early -- which would be REALLY nice to see with the hours on the website, considering we planned our trip based on that...)
  
  Some fun games, and some duds. It seemed half of the game cabinets were just there to fill up space. I'm betting that most visitors with a cup full of tokens on a Saturday night will end up trying out a bunch of unappealing games just for lack of options, due to all the popular games being constantly claimed. In particular I wish there were more pinball machines, because there was a constant line for them, but I can see how space is a limiting factor there. They would have to remove other games to make room for it.
  
  Overall, definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you're looking for a unique dinner and drink.

  This place should be so much better. Great concept merging a bar and an arcade, but the food, the service and the general vibe really kill it. I've been a few times and the food has ranged from inedible to actually making me sick the next day. Bar program is pretty elitist without many of the standard beer options that you want in a place like this. Service is poor, but even if it wasn't the food is just horrid.

  Video games and drinking are a great combination. Solid beer list and cute cocktails. Service was solid. Food was very underwhelming, though. Chicken fingers were mostly breading, steak skewers were skimpy on the steak, guac was nothing special. I'd come back for games and beers, but eat first.

  I came out here a month or so ago with some friends to watch the Super Mario Brothers movie (which is awesomely bad). I had inquired earlier if captions or subtitles would be available and got a quick response saying that they would make sure they were on. As a person with a hearing loss, I really appreciated this! I did brace myself for the possibility that stuff might not work, or maybe someone might forget to set them up as this has been the norm in other situations/businesses in my experience. Much to my amazement and amusement, both subtitles AND captions came on as the movie started playing. Just as I was about to get up to offer assistance, whoever was manning the movie tech quickly rectified the situation and my friends and I all enjoyed watching a classic terrible movie with just one set of subtitles turned on and playing arcade games this evening. It was wonderful to experience a business knowing what subtitles and captions were and to be so willing to accomodate my request for them. Everyone was very professional and warm, and we had great service all night! 10/10 would do again. And shall! Thank you again for a wonderful evening
