Start - St. Louis

Crazy selfish workers, but good environment/music The staff took My phone kicked me out when I noticed and then suddenly I said I was drunk and had to go. I had a drink. I'm not small and leaned into the table and moved. I'd love you to check the camera picture if you had to see how absurd this manager is. So I reported them for discrimination with Dept ofJustice and BBB. Def wouldn't go back. Specific Zach, the manager who thinks he's the owner? is a terrible narcissistic person. It is not a way for the bad vibes even if hidden in a decent environment.

Not worth it.It cost $5 to get in, the games do not work, they do not allow bags OF ANY KIND, and there 's very little arcade game selection. Skip this place.To be specific, one pinball machine paddle wouldn 't work, the walking dead game 'reload ' doesn 't work, the N64 area is roped off...extremely disappointing

Spent much money throughout the afternoon/evening. Supported the cardinals and blues with them. Upstairs did not have the game systems working, each wii remote dead and the system had ZERO games prepared. Waste of money. In frustration, laid down on the couch to exhale a breathe (literally one decompressing breathe) and reset mentality to try and enjoy the evening (post midnight). In that moment of despair and frustration, bouncer came up to kick us out because in his words “we did not fit the dynamic of the evening”. Not joking, that’s verbatim. Back to downstairs but still wanted to have a good night and spend money, we were then told to leave the premises for a similar reason. The feeling of disrespect was extremely unexpected and we still don’t know where it came from. This is not an environment we plan to be around again, and will be taking our business to Up Down for gaming bars and just about anywhere else downtown for our time. The owners of Start Bar and Wheelhouse are the same so we also will not be spending any time or money at wheelhouse either. Huge bummer for them. 0/10 recommend, even if you fit their description for the crowd they went to attract. Sorry to disappoint as the price and vibes are not worth it whatsoever.

On internet it seems like they only have 4 pinball machines, but we only found 2 of them and they were not working properly. Bummerz..

Used to love this bar, who couldn 't love a bar with arcade games! Went tonight and they got rid of, no exaggerating, three fourths of there games including there game consoles upstairs. We tried to stay anyway and they didn 't let one of our friends in because of their dress code when we were all dressed the exact same. UpDown is a far better arcade bar if you are in the area!
