Good size crowd but still plenty of room and game to easily get to and play. Started off with great service at the front desk, I believe the guys name is Cleary. He was very welcoming. We explained this was our first time in and asked for recomendations. He was very friendly and cordial and explained how everything worked. At the end of the visit we realized he gave great advice that allowed us to fully enjoy our visit. The vibe and ambiance was really good and had the true arcade feel. People were laughing and having lots of fun just like us. There were people enjoying food and drinks and relaxing in groups in the dining area, playing duck pin bowling, video games including guitar hero, playing pinball, skeetball, basketball shoot and football throwing games. I mean there was real fun being had by all including us. Didn't have food but had beer and played pinball and video games. I really like the beer taps because there were a lot of choices and I tried several different ones because you pour as little or as much as you want. I did about six oz pours and tried several ones. We will definitely be visiting Circuit Social again to get out and have fun and take our mind off things. Thank you for a good time. we needed it!!

One thing missing is an information desk. And if they had one, I never saw it…read more I only did the bowling activity which was fun; there are so many lanes and a VIP room with additional lanes. The cost was per lane vs per person and you pay at the counter in the bowling area. If you're in the military/a vet let them know as you get a DISCOUNT. Not only that, but shoe rental and sock are free, (normally around $3.50 each). Since I didn't go in with intentions to bowl I didn't bring any, but was able to get a free pair since my cousins benefit applied to everyone in the party. The socks are actually cute (to me). It was very busy on a Friday evening and the crowd seemed to be teens and adults. Very few small kids. The servers come to the lanes to take orders, and the tablet at the bowling lane has a button to press for their help. Since it was taking long, we just ordered drinks from the bar nearby. The food, ordered later was simple, but good. -Sunset strawberry sangria is good, but could use more strawberry flavor. - Mozzarella sticks are no different then what you'd get at the grocery store and for the price the amount given isn't enough. - Wings, got a double order, 1/2 sweet chili, 1/2 garlic parmesan. I've often seen the latter on menus and steered clear because it didn't sound appealing. However, since it was ordered (for the group) I figured I'd give it a try. It was Soooooo good that I before I left I placed a to go order. Servers and staff were overall kind, but very busy. Lots of running and trying to take care of everyone. There weren't many smiles, but I imagine they were focused on the task at hand. Anyway, be kind and be patient. If you're staying at a nearby hotel let them know your going to Apex. I did (as I inquired about directions) and was given afree pass for laser tag, which I gave away.

We arrived around 10 minutes after it opened and it was already starting to get busy. You can pay to play at the desk next to the bumper cars which is closest to the ropes course, escape rooms, axe throwing and go kart racing. They do offer military discounts with an ID, just ask. They will give you a ball color of your choice for game use when you pay. Clubs are at the entrance to the right of the golf course along with the score cards and pencils on the wall. I love how they have a place at each hole number to place the score card and pencil which also provides a surface to write down your score. The course is under black lights which the edges of the course are outlined. 9/2024 This was pleasantly fun! However, it was multi -sensory overload for me the moment I walked in. We were there to celebrate my niece's birthday as a belated birthday treat for her & we had family come in out of town, who also recently had a birthday. If you do research on their website you will discover they have A LOT to do! But like everyone has mentioned activities are individually priced. I feel like the more you book, the more you should get some combo discount. They do offer 15% off for military with an ID, but not online. Caveat - It's only in person with proof of ID and you can't come in earlier in the week or in advance and pay for attractions for the future and get the 15% military discount off. It has to be purchased & used on the same day for it to be applied. There are no military discounts on Dark Ride. Some attractions you need to book in advance online like bowling, escape rooms, axe throwing, & the simulators. Check their website for any changes. Saturdays are popular, so I signed a contract for advanced scheduled attractions so that my niece and cousin could participate in the activities they wanted, to prioritize & not be disappointed or waiting a long time to participate. You do get a discount if you do so but a signed contract & payment is due prior. You don't even have to come in person to do it. Either call or email for your inquiries and they can work something out for you. We didn't book a party although you can do that but a food minimum is required and a reserved room is only for 45 minutes. Skyla, one of the events coordinator made things super easy & convenient to book. She was very helpful answering questions. I had never been so I wasn't familiar where attractions were located. Once I found out, I planned all the activities on the same floor back to back for convenience & chose available times that were roughly 30 minutes apart. We just showed up, checked in at the desks located close to that attraction. Silas, one of the managers came to greet me and informed me where to go. He was pleasant and willing to answer any questions. We did the 30 minute Zombie Research Lab escape room. You want to check in 20 minutes prior to your reserved time. It was fun and we broke out with 7 min & 22 seconds left with a group of six. They have quality props and hints pop up on the tv monitor. Four of us participated in the ropes course. You're allotted 15 minutes to do whatever elements you want. They make you empty out all your pockets for safety since you're 40 feet above the ground over the bowling alley. I'm not sure if it was because we booked it as a group under a contract that it was only the 4 of us at the one session, but that was nice. There were maybe one or two elements that were challenging. But it was still fun! Our 3rd activity was axe throwing which is a flat fee regardless of the number of people, max of 6 per lane for an hour. Darrel was our instructor and he was fun! We really enjoyed ourselves and with some of us he really tried his best to help land some throws but some just couldn't. There were alot in our group that didn't participate but they were able to enjoy us throwing axes. My niece was killing it with her throwing skills. Our last activity was an hour of bowling. These are time sensitive so you better arrive 15 min earlier to get your rental shoes and pick your ball. We did the VIP lane which is an additional price but great because there are only 4 VIP lanes and they are away from the rest of the lanes. You can still see lanes 5 and on but there's a glass wall in between & it's a lot quieter. The seating is comfortable and enough to fit six people. Bowling is also a flat fee for an hour or more up to six people. Plus an additional $5 pp for shoe rentals. But if you have a military ID you can get up to six shoe rentals for free. You can also order food at your lanes but I don't think anyone came by to take our order. Unless someone in our group went up & ordered. Overall we spent from 2pm -7pm there. We even squeezed in a hologate game of Zombie Resurrection which is an adventure in itself!

While I think she…read moredid her best and was very kind, she was still only one person. 2.We did the stack n play 1030-1230 party and we never received the chocolate syrup, strawberries, or whip cream(I was told it was still frozen and she did bring out a small plate after I asked with what she could gather from the frozen whip cream) we should have had pancakes, syrup, chocolate syrup, whip cream, sprinkles, strawberries, and Oreo crumbles per the website. 3.The drink containers were not filled until after the kids had already eaten and were asking for a beverage. 4. I kept the children at the table because the food was to be served at 1045 but was not served until 1100 which made it more difficult for us to stay on schedule. 5. The "unlimited" green games was very unfortunate as the amount of green games was extremely minimal. I was very shocked at how little games were actually green. It would be very nice if after the $10 is spent that the kids could still play any game but just not receive tickets. That truly limited them and was such a bummer. 6. Multiple cards (to include my birthday boys bracelet) stopped working even for green games. While they worked to fix this it took away even more of their playing time which was very frustrating. The employees also wanted to know which kid and which games specifically thinking it was a game issue so that too took time to work through. 7. The gratuity auto placed on the receipt is not just on food but also on the cost of the game cards which is strange. In addition it is not listed as gratuity but something else which had I not prepared for that ahead of time I would have missed this entirely. 8. I ordered 3 platters (grapes/strawberries/cheese) and bacon (but this was per person pricing of a side) it would be very nice if you offered some sides options in addition to the two pancakes per person for this breakfast party. The other times have so many options and this one I had to piece together to feel complete. Over all the host for our party was very kind and worked her best for us I feel. But there were multiple unfortunate frustrations for us which was a bummer.

I have had a…read morebirthday party there and have attended for various events but I'd like to make note that their machines are outdated, overpriced, and constantly breaking. We've been to other locations and they have way more to offer. The "prizes" are SHEIN quality. Their employees are helpful but need to clean better. Every table or area we took a break at was dirty and we came during a slow time so it was not busy at all. The bathrooms were so nasty that I had to go out to the mall to take my little to use the restroom. We don't normally eat here during our morning visits so I can't say much on their food or drinks. Overall, if it wasn't for the kids asking to stop by I would never frequent this location. We now tend to go across the street to the small crane arcade afterwords to at least get some bang for our bucks.

East Beach is a planned community located off Shore Drive in the far eastern section of the Norfolk…read morebay front. The waterfronts it sits between are the Chesapeake Bay and Little Creek Inlet. The neighborhood has been in a continuous state of development since construction began in 2004. The City of Norfolk seized the land through Eminent Domain and demolished the existing houses in 1993. A beach replenishment was done in 2003 before construction began by the city's chosen developer. The "New Urbanist" style of the neighborhood is unique to the area. It's a beautiful neighborhood with a town square and walkway areas. The houses or cottages built in the central part of the neighborhood are on small urban style plots and are built close to the street with front porches and sidewalks. Many have detached garages with an apartment above. Alleys run behind the street for parking aesthetics. Golf Carts abound. There are larger stately houses and also houses closer to the Chesapeake Bay on larger plots of property with walking paths to the beach. My late husband and I were considering the purchase of one of the houses within a small number of steps from the Bay. It would have been the perfect location, since our boat was docked at Little Creek Marina along the Little Creek Inlet side of Pretty Lake Road,, the main entrance to the neighborhood. His cancer diagnosis immediately stopped that planned purchase. There has been continuous development since that time. High Rise Apartments/Condominiums with shops and restaurants were developed on the north side of Pretty Lake Road. After my husband's death I eventually sold the cabin cruiser, which was too large for me to get out of the slip. And boats should not have to be controlled by manipulating two engines. They're not like brakes. I loved sitting on the deck sipping wine and visiting with the fellow long time occupants of our pier, some of whom lived on their boats. But nor'easters and hurricanes terrified me since the area is prone to flooding. Wave action in one storm severed the dock line. I sold the boat. The memories of that time have been destroyed since East Beach bought and demolished most of the marinas on the Little Creek Inlet side of Pretty Lake Road. High Rise Condos with shops and restaurants on the ground floor are now being constructed. After eating at kSurf Rider East Beach I'll sometimes drive through the neighborhood remembering what might have been.

When my friend mentioned Back Bay I was thinking, oh snap. What did I commit myself to?? Kayaking where there might be cottonmouths??!! But I was thinking Back Bay Wildlife Refuge where I've seen lots of them. There were no cottonmouths. I promise you. Just lots of duck blinds and marsh areas that open into the bay. It was so serene. You get 2 hours, and rental includes the pfd and they loan you a waterproof phone case if needed which was nice. Because I was pretty dry until I got out of the kayak from our 2 hours. I landed in waist deep water, my feet sunk into the sand. I couldn't recover from the fall and face planted into the water - baseball hat, sunglasses and waterproof phone case and all. THAT waterproof phone case saved my phone and my key fob!! Don't do what I did Launch it parallel to the land so you don't end up in the water like I did. The young man that worked there was kind and genuinely concerned. When he arrived to pull the kayaks further up on land, he asked if I got hot. Because he saw I was soaking wet. I think he thought I took a dip in the water. But I told him, I actually fell in getting out of the kayak. (The older couple with their beach chairs outside Baja got quite a show of me splashing around. Haha. ) He made sure I was okay and asked if my phone was okay and to make sure since the waterproof phone cases aren't 100% waterproof. Thankfully, it was fine and so was my key fob. You can rent single or tandem kayaks and are free to roam the area. It's $35 plus tax but they offer military discounts 10% with ID so it came out to $33.39 for me. Staff was very nice the young man was the same person who checked us in and took our payments and the young ladies were friendly and kind as well. Kudos to the staff with their patience, because there was a large group (family) that was blocking the entrance to the shack. When it was time for them to gear up for their pfds, they ransacked the racks of life vests and staff had to politely inform them that they have it in order and will fit each of them individually properly. Therefore there's no need to take them off the rack. I looked it up on their website and if you have your own kayak you can pay a $15 launch fee so that's cool.

We also ordered french fries and the food basket of fries that they served us was barely full, it honestly looked like half of the amount of fries were eaten before they served it to us. Another thing to add-- my loved one who was playing the coin pusher won two cards, but got jammed in the conveyor belt of the coin pusher game, so she wasn't able to recieve the cards she won. I kindly asked the employees in the front with the prizes and cash register if they could open this machine so my sister can get the first two cards she won. They never came to open the machine so I went over again to show a video of her winning another card so they can open the machine in order for my sister to rightfully earn what she won. The employees asked me which card she won so I told them the specific card she won and gave me a card from behind their counter (and it wasn't even the correct character). They gave me a card to "compensate for the inconvenience", but I specifically asked them to open the machine so my sister can get the cards that she won and for future players (so others won't play a jammed game). It wasn't until another lady who had to go up to the to the front counter numerous times to tell them about the jammed machine did they open the machine to give us our cards. This store had a jammed game and the solution to it was simply opening a glass door and grabbing cards from a space where they were stuck (very easy to pull these cards out my sister described). The employee did not even have to use any special tools or go down on their knees to fix this jammed game. I find frustration in this because it took multiple complaints for the employees to actually take action, when the task at hand was very simple. It shows that employees do not care for individual customers and are only there to open and close the store or to just "get by", which is a very lazy approach to any kind of service. As someone who doesn't find many problems in customer service and have grace for people who work in these fields, found the service here quite unpleasant and frustrating.

Great place to take the family. Can be a tad pricy, but overall a nice activity to do…read more The owner is awesome! He was very helpful when coordinating an event. The food is not too bad there as well. The lanes are very clean.

It was a good break from the usual work and stress of the shipyard life and it was a nice way to enjoy each other's company in a more relaxed and casual setting. This bowling alley on Langley Air Force Base is decent. Small-ish parking lot. The interior seems adequately maintained. Lanes are in good condition. They do serve beer and food. There's also a small room to the side with a pool table and some arcade-style games. Overall, a nice place to come and chill. A big shoutout to Langley Lanes for being great hosts for us!

Food I ordered a Caesar salad with a crab cake on top, a side of fries and a glass of Riesling. My team ordered various items, and from my POV, everyone was happy with what they selected. Service The server tending to our room was very nice and polite as he attempted to serve us while we were still having our meeting. He wasn't quiet and attentive to each persons order. Ambiance We had a 2024 Planning Meeting for work, and had lunch midway through. We had a private room, and were only interrupted for lunchtime. The room was spacious and bright over looking the marina.

During her time here my…read moregirlfriend has struggled over the years with unnecessary and sexualizing stares from both male staff and male members, being followed to her car, as well as an unwanted physical encounter by a male staff member that was not addressed properly and was left for her to deal with on her own. This type of behavior in a work setting is very inappropriate and should be dealt with properly. Complaints have been made to the management several of times, but they have been met with little to no effort in resolving this matter. Said individuals continue to provoke her after complaints have been made and nothing has been done. The hiring management needs to be looked into and reevaluated. This behavior from other staff members is unacceptable. My purpose in writing this is to express my concern for the other woman that work here and have experienced the same issues with a few members of the male staff.

Visiting friends in Virginia with family, and we decided too all go and spend a day before we leave…read moreat top golf , we've always went to top golf since my boys love golfing, so we been all around the top golf's America haha. But this top golf experience was a little bit different, yeah of course not perfect especially because the tables were sticky and quite dirty so that was unpleasant, and our bayhost was alright but it felt a little like she was annoyed of us so it kind of ruined the mood, but the server who brought us our food honestly made the whole experience reach the 4 stars! He was a really nice, funny, pleasant, well mannered young gentleman. He brought us the food and actually took some time explaining everything and made genuine conversations, making jokes and being extremely friendly, not only with me but my whole family, he was also extremely fast and understanding and got us everything we needed even though I'm sure he was busy and had things to do! I usually don't write reviews regarding servers but this young man named Jamari really stood out, it truly feels really nice when someone who's a server takes out time from they're day to be genuine and have a conversation, and it really sets the mood for the rest of the experience you have. Especially not knowing how that can change someone's whole day. So all I have to say my family's experience was really made great because of the nice young man Jamari, each top golf deserves an employee like him! And Thank you Top Golf for hosting us all the way in Virginia!!

It's a large arcade that is spacious dedicated to 80's nostalgia arcade games I grew up with as a child. They have an extensive amount of games! However, we were surprised they didn't have Centipede or Q-bert. It was nice having several 2 player games where we could play together versus alternating turns. For $10 per person you get a wristband to play unlimited games all day. No tokens are needed! That's quite the deal! They have numerous pinball machines, skeeball and the hoops game without tickets. It wasn't crowded since it was 2pm, once it hit around 4pm/5pm it started to get busier but still not packed. If you would like to order food you either go to the bar or seat yourself at a table. The bartender/ server picked up our food at the pick up window and brought our food. You're allowed to bring your drinks with you and play games. They have space built in between the arcade games large enough to place your drinks there and they provide coasters. There are free refills on soda except the root beer which is on draft. We ordered the pork nachos which can be substituted with chicken for no extra charge. The presentation of the nachos are appealing and colorfully vibrant as well as delicious! I was a bit skeptical it would taste so good considering its bar/arcade food. It had a healthy portion of pulled pork and it was flavorful with white cheese/queso. We spent a good 3 hours there. While children are allowed, it's really geared towards adults. However, if teenagers and younger crowd are curious about the 8 bit graphics they "might" enjoy it. For the smaller kiddos, they don't have any real kiddie games except skeeball and if they're 6 yrs old and under, or a short height they may have challenges seeing the screen. Although I supposed they could use the bar stool chairs to sit and play. I believe they have a 21 years old and up after 8pm on Friday and Saturday.
