3 months agoWent there for an after-work party, which we had a blast! The burgers were great, the pizza not so much $14 for a personal pepperoni pizza, four cube size slices which was the equivalent of a corner slice from Buddy's or Green Lantern. Will not recommend the pizza.

1 year agoGreat atmosphere and good menu and beers. Came here for a birthday party and it was packed. They have axe throwing, board game bar, food, mega size beer pong, and other fun activities and games. Both an indoor/outdoor atmosphere. Great for large parties and get togethers.

Their drinks were so affordable and they were a good balance of strong and tasty. I wouldn’t recommend the food honestly- it was mid and I wouldn’t consider this a Mexican food spot- though they don’t even brand themselves as that (expect American tacos and nachos). But the general vibe was really good and they have jumbo beer pong outside which I would’ve loved to play if it wasn’t so cold! Id come back here again to throw axes. Show less

1 year agoWhat a great place to come and have fun! It’s beautifully designed and was full of life! Corn hole, life size quarter bounce and a room full of board games that you can borrow to play. The drinks we got were excellent, especially loved the Violette Fizz. I’ll be back for sure!

Tonight I had OUTSTANDING service from a bartender her name was Lexy she helped us the entire night, remembered our name for our tab and our drinks. She is one of the best bartenders I have ever experienced in any bar. She was fast efficient all while being personable. She completely changed my opinion on this place and I will be returning.

Probably the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Both bartenders I had to deal with were incredibly rude. Took over an hour to get one tiny personal pizza and fries. When inquiring the status of our order after 50min the food staff was not friendly either. Once receiving the food, the pizza was doughy and not cooked well and the fries were stuck together and hard. You can tell from the pattern of reviews spouting of poor service that the management does not care or has no backbone to address bad behaviors. The games were fun but having such poor service is unacceptable. In addition, the staff could not find napkins anywhere. Based on the food quality, terrible service (honestly the worst service/bartenders I’ve ever encountered), and lack of basic necessities to eat, I would not return. I’d recommend going elsewhere!

Real or hype? Three stars says HYPE. There is a $10 cover charge for adults. If you’re coming with a group I would suggest making a reservation or arriving super early. We arrived on a Saturday just after opening. There were a decent amount of people there. All the games are free with the exception of axe throwing and the arcade games. There was a wall filled with different types of board/card games. Cornhole and cup pong were on one side. Large connect four and other games on the other side. Music is kept at a very low level. Drinks were just ok. They could use better mixers. The lemonade used for the lemon drop was gross. Definitely just basic mixology skills from the bartenders. But hey they can only serve what the establishment provides. Food was very minimal and mediocre. Axe throwing…hmmm…. You pay for an hour, however, it’s not solely the people in your group. The time you pay for is not exclusive to your group as others will be able to throw during your “reserved time”. It’s an ok spot. Definitely a lot of hype. From the outside looking in, drunk people always seem to have a good time. Show less

We returned for a date night Saturday night, and we had a great time. Everyone was playing games, they had chill R&B music playing, and the food and drinks were good. The pizza is Detroit style and maybe could have used a few more minutes to get a little crispier, but it was super cheesy and melty and reminded me of when I was a kid. their fries are the super crispy kind, and the burger and chicken sandwich was decent. Their system of ordering food was also really efficient - they were packed and I got my order within 25 minutes. They also make nice strong drinks, and the bartenders were nice. Be aware, you must pay a $10 entry fee on Saturday nights, but I think it's well worth it. For that price, you have access to all the outside and board games, so you could have a cheap, fun night out. Even with food and drinks, we spent about $100 which is a pretty good price for downtown.
