The concept of a game bar in Arizona is heaven sent and it really does make sense to open more of these. Hot Sahara weather outside - take a break in a place where games are free, drinks are cheap, a menu full of fried stuff, and most of all A/C. Besides Howie's, I don't know of any other place that brings together this specific demographic and it's great that they can now enjoy Mill Ave in a different way other than sweatily rubbing against other random people in what normal circumstances I've been in - a sausagefest crowd. It's even open during the school day so great for in between class breaks.
Food and drinks can definitely be improved on - it's how this place makes their money seeing as the games are free. Not sure how experienced the bartenders are but my drinks were pretty mild and just tasted like I paid 7 dollars for pure juice. Definitely not okay as I'm being forced to play games against my will with what seemed like the rowdy seven dwarfs. Then again, I ordered 2 Stella, 1 Shiner, 2 Pineapple Vodka, Some Game-themed Mixed Drink, plate of fries, and a Red Bull and vodka and it only came out to $37 so it didn't upset me too much.
They have a wide array of games from the original Sega's to the brand new Super Smash, you will get to play whatever your heart desires. TV's all around and some old school arcade games. You can even ask for board games like Cards Against Humanity. If you need an extra player or a different game, staff is pretty handy and quick when needed. They have tournaments here as well from time to time and the place can get pretty crowded for a Friday night so you more than likely have to creepily stalk what you want to play. If you have a student ID be sure to show it so you can get a 10% discount.
All in all, I really hope this place improves both food wise and decor wise (only God knows what has happened in those dark booths) and DON'T FORGET to bring hand sanitizer for yourself. On a busy night, I swear this place could easily begin an epidemic from touching the control players.
