| - Alright, so I should preface this review with the fact that I read almost all the other reviews on here before going to this place as well as writing this review, so I had a few pre-conceived notions about what my experience was going to be like.
1. Games, games, games! This place is great if you enjoy console gaming from the classics (SNES) to the newer stuff like Wii U and XBone. As a mainly PC gamer, I spent my whole time there watching people play, but they had more or less anything you could want for consoles. THIS is what this place has going for it. THIS is why people come here rather than any other bar.
2. Drinks! Our bartender was a really cool person, and we sat at the bar. I was expecting to get ignored by the staff because that's what half the reviews I read said, but there were 2 staff members for every 1 customer in there so there was little chance of that (we went on a Thursday at 5pm). The bartender was friendly, let us try out a few beers and ciders they had on-tap and even made a mini beer cocktail for my boyfriend which he ended up ordering another of. They said they are revamping their cocktail menu to be less confusing so if you want a fancy cocktail, talk up the bartender and ask what they recommend for the time being.
3. Food? So I am a huge fan of throwing things in deep fryers. Always have. It's American. However, when every single thing on your menu minus three very simple salads is deep fried, it does not bode well for my next day experience (if you know what I mean). We ordered the Mac and Cheese bites which were pretty good but I think they need more flavor, like adding jalapeno bits or maybe even bacon (everyone loves bacon, and it's also very American). We also got the spinach and cheese rangoons which were about as expected: spinach dip crab puffs. These were pretty good. After those we were still hungry so we ordered a chili dog and fries. It was worrying that they had "ran out" of chili previously, which means they don't make it in-house. The fries had a strange smell/aftertaste that was vaguely chemical but it could have been anything from not changing the fry oil or just the way the fries come from wherever they are ordered from. I think this kitchen could do with some fresher, less obviously pre-made food items. I would really love to be able to come to this place for 3 hours in the evening and get dinner there while gaming but as of now I would not want to eat more than just some happy hour snacks here.
I gave this place 4 stars because it has an AMAZING concept and they pull-off the gaming bar aspect very, very well and I was impressed by the bartender and our drinking experience.
Suggestions for ownership/management: get better food, whether it's ordering it from a higher-quality food supply place or just asking your customers what they'd like to see on the menu... Also, please note that greasy food + game controllers = not very sanitary.
