Fantastic spot! The staff is wonderful, and the atmosphere is lively. I love that arcade games are free to play when you buy a drink—what a great deal! They have a nice variety of beers and ciders. I first visited this place back in 2017, and when I passed through recently, it was at the top of my list to come back to. Pew Pew!

A nerd's paradise! There's an abundance of drinks and arcade games! The staff is fantastic, the drink selection is extensive, and the atmosphere is just right. It's my favorite spot to visit whenever I'm in Ohio.

This isn't an ideal spot for pre-dating, as the space is quite limited.

After going to a pinball arcade in Cleveland we came here bc one of my kids just freaking loves pinball. Shame on me for not checking the website in advance because you have to pay for each pinball game here, so I felt like we spent a small fortune for two adults and two children to play skee-ball and pinball for around an hour, with two beers and two sodas. I can't comment on food (do they even have any? or service, as I didn't order at the bar, my husband did. The disappointment in this is mostly my fault for not checking but man, this is not a cheap time! And the Elvira machine was out of order, truly the biggest heartbreaker in the whole thing.

Definite plus for having smaller streamers playing on their TV. Drinks are great and not too expensive. No food, so later nights are going to see you eating home or going to something around the corner.
