| - I remember when I first came here when I was about 17. It was like a rite of passage into adulthood back then, no more crappy broken down mall arcades for me, where everything was sticky with the children's snot and the broken dreams of the game operator. Nope! This was the closest you could get to a casino in Cleveland at the time, so for someone who has a knack for games of chance, this was as good as it was going to get.
The decor feels very man cave-y to me. Stain glass lamps, dark wood, dim lighting, cherry pleather trim; which is fine. Doesn't really bother me.
The food is ok, albeit over priced for what it is. Burgers, fries, chicken tenders, steak, ribs. Honestly, once you've had Applebees, all that food just starts to taste the same. Again, its good, nothing special. The service here is actually much better than expected. I've never had a bad server or bartender here. Attentive, friendly, spot on.
But who really comes here for the food right? Lets get to the real pull here. I really like how they switch up their games so often. Yeah, they have their usual coin drop machines and skeeball... but almost every time we go (which is maybe once every other month) there's a new game for us to beat to death. I do have fun every time we visit. Expensive? Yes. But I do feel that it is worth it,
Here's the catch. While we do have fun whenever we go, we do not go when everyone else goes. Thanks to our work schedules, we have most mornings and afternoons free while working in the evening and at night. So, weekday mornings are PERFECT. We have the whole place to ourselves. No lines for games, no screaming brats, no moody teenagers, just me and my games. Go on Wednesdays for half price games too! Its SO much better than weekends.
