| - We decided to pop in here after happy hour on a Friday night. I saw photos on Facebook about the arcade games and such, and thought it'd be a fun way to keep the night going! I was correct, to be sure.
The set up of the place is intriguing - it's connected to Lucky Strike bowling, but separated for some reason by a velvet rope. I really have no idea why as we could walk back and forth - they just had some guy standing there moving the rope for us.
Gypsy bar is made up of three sections - the bar area, the dance floor, and the arcade. The dance floor looked like any dance floor - good times if we decided to get hammered (we didn't, but maybe another time). The bar was fine, nothing particular about it - good or bad. The reason I'm excited about this place, though... The arcade games!
It seems to me that the owners spent a drunken night at Dave and Busters and cherry picked the best social games from there. Drinking and playing with your friends is a great experience. Pac Man Battle Royal, the light touch game (you'd know it if you saw it), trivia, skee ball, pop a shot, crane games... They've got it all. The set up is similar to D&B's, where you purchase a card with points to play the games. Tickets get stored on the card automatically, and you can redeem for prizes at the counter (everything from candy to cool little toys and such).
I've got a couple hundred tickets on my card already, so I'll be back for more! I've got my eyes on that Lord of the Rings PEZ collector's set...
Quick tip - Get your parking validated at the bowling shoes counter next door!
