The staff can seem a little 'try hard ' at times, not really offering much in the way of service, acting more like you 're hanging out at their home. The games are definitely the selling point. They also host a video game markets each year, which is great. Although it 's always so crowded during the event you don 't have much of a chance to browse the games on offer. Overall a fun bar to hang out at, have a beer and play a couple of throwback games. Good to follow on SM too, as they have events fairly often

They also offer some craft beer on tap, but mostly in bottles/cans.<br/ <br/ We ordered the beef burger and chicken and bacon burger. Fries are perfectly cooked, and the burgers are simple but satisfying. My chicken burgee can use a bit more sauce as the chicken is slightly dry, but i liked it anyway. <br/ <br/ Beer is interesting and cocktails are simple and straight to the point.

The selection of games was very well thoughtout, they had all the names that would come to mind even if you weren't born in the 80s. It's quite big as well, there are several rooms on both floors full of machines. The staff are friendly, the deal is that you buy a beer along with some coins. Each game is $1. They even have a Mega drive with Sonic the Hedgehog at one of the tables. My only suggestion would be about having some more convenient places to put your beer while playing the games. That said many people just hang out at the tables around the bright lights and sound of the machines . Had a really amazing time. It's a great place to take your friends to see something totally different, definitely recommended.
