| - I walked in here with no idea as to what it was and what it looked like except that it was renovated from a hotel and there are apparently life-sized games.
My first impression was that Gold Spike is HUGE! There is so much space and plenty of room to walk around, mostly because it was a Wednesday night. We literally just walked in and explored. There's shuffleboard, this ball-tossy game thing (multiple stations), foosball, life-sized connect for, life-sized jenga outside, darts, 2 pool tables, and a little ice skating rink outside as well. There's also a random room with neon everything and a blacklight that makes everything glow. I don't really understand the point of that but it was fun to look at with 3D glasses none-the-less.
The drinks are so affordable compared to most other places and since it wasn't busy, we didn't have to wait. I imagine it would take a while on the weekends, though.
There's a huge cushioned bed near the entrance and several clusters of comfortable seating, including giant beanbags!
My favorite area was probably outside because of the fire pits, life-sized jenga, and random giant golden snake statue. I can definitely see myself hanging out with friends when it gets warmer out! Be careful of the jenga though - it has splinters.
Sorry my review is a little unorganized. This was basically my thought process when I was there all "Ooh look at this!" "Ooh look at that!" and "Let's go play outside!" Gold Spike is basically an adult's Chuck E. Cheese.
There is also a little cafeteria which apparently has good and affordable food, which I haven't tried. I'll be sure to try it next time! Apparently, the weekends have a dance floor opened up and some pretty good DJ's so I'll be sure to come check it out then as well.
