**Bar Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** Nestled in a lively area, this bar presents a blend of unique offerings and notable challenges. While some patrons rave about exceptional burgers and attentive service, others express serious concerns about security, slow service, and management's lack of responsiveness. The venue struggles during busy times, particularly on high-profile event days. However, its spacious setup, friendly staff, and reasonable prices for drinks and food make it appealing. Some guests appreciate the responsible drinking policies and the vibrant atmosphere, suggesting there's potential for improvement. Ultimately, this spot deserves a visit but with caution depending on the occasion.

Was User at Play Book a mag?
I think we've found our neighborhood sports bar and burger joint! It's interesting to read the mixed reviews, but our experience definitely exceeded our expectations. We had driven by this place numerous times before finally deciding to stop in for some food and drinks. The atmosphere is fantastic, with plenty of TVs and great lighting. We sat at the bar to catch a football game, and the beer was ice cold! I ordered... View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Play Book:
Caution! This bar consistently requires police presence. The security staff often handle guests roughly without justification and frequently escalate situations. Many patrons seem to carry weapons, and the management shows no willingness to change either the security personnel or their procedures. The owners and managers appear indifferent to the safety of their guests, and the presence of weapons is concerning. View all feedback.

We went in for food and drinks, and even though all the tables were reserved, the manager was able to find a table for us. The BBQ chicken flatbread was spot on, and our server was very attentive. There was also a live DJ playing music videos to accompany the music!

This bar has staff that actively encourage you not to drive if you're unsure of how much you've had to drink. I would highly recommend it. Stay safe, and remember that there’s never a good reason to drink and drive. With bars and employees like this, we might save some lives this holiday season!

Very clean, spacious place to stop by and watch the Viking Game even though we had to listen to the Bears game!!!. The food looked fantastic but we had just eaten so we just enjoyed some adult beverages. Great service! Worth going back to!

There is really nothing bad to say about this place. The food is really good. The girls are are really hot. If there’s any major sporting event like boxing or UFC/MMA fights, you’ll find me here. Love this place. Did I mention the nice girls that work here?
