I had heard about Battle & Brew for many years, but never got around to actually going. Me, my wife, and our two best friends went one day after dinner. I had an idea of what this place, but wasn't exactly sure what it all entailed. We walked in and were greeted by a large shelf or should I say shelves of a bunch of different board and card games. We walked to the register and told them we wanted to play some board/card games. I believe it was $7 per hour and then $35 for everything else. Everything else means all the video/electronic games. Think PS5, Switch, PC, Xbox. It was sooooo cool seeing everyone play all the different games. There were bigger groups, couples, people by themselves. It's truly a place where anyone can go and have a good time! We got some drinks (they have a really cool cocktail menu). They do have a food menu too, but we just came from dinner, so we only got drinks. Our service wasn't the best though. It took forever for someone to come and check on us, and no one came to fill our water the entire time we were there. Service could definitely be a lot better! Battle & Brew is in a shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. It's also pretty big too, so there is plenty of seating inside. I would definitely come back here in the future and play some of the video games, as I love to play some Nintendo Switch! read more

Our visit was on May 16th, 2026. We had large group, which when we called ahead (4 hours ahead of time) they said that they couldn't take reservations. They told us that we would have to show up and just wait to be seated... fine. No big deal, again we are a large group coming in HOT on the weekend... I get it. We call ahead again, closer to the time we were planning to arrive to double check. THIS TIME they said they could reserve us a space and that it wouldn't be a problem. We get there and everything is seemingly fine. The vibes are good and the waiters are taking orders diligently. We understand that this is a huge group (16 of us) and that we would have to be patient with them as they are with us. So everyone puts in there orders. First wave comes out... I noticed that all the food is cold. Not ideal but the food was good so whatever. Second wave comes out, again the food is cold and peoples orders are missing. Fine. We are a big group, it happens. 3rd wave comes and they are seemingly trying to land the plane with us, finalizing anything that may have been missed while also getting refills. One of my friends that was a part of that first wave was still waiting his burger that he ordered (he had informed them twice at this point). 45 mins later the waiter checks on us again... My friend still doesn't have his burger. Cool AGAIN this is a big group... It happens. My side of the table who got all their food are ready to play some games now. We go to the front counter and there is seemingly a good cop/bad cop routine going on. One host says we can rent a station the other says we can't unless all 16 of go to that station. I told him not everyone wants to play games so what if we just cash out now then the 4 of us that do can just play/sit at the station. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT ITS AGAINST THE POLICIES" O....kay... whatever don't take my money, I then tell him I'd like to cash out anyway. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I can't pay you now? "THE TAB CAN ONLY BE SPLIT 5 WAYS" Huh? So not only was this not brought to our attention beforehand but you want to be a jerk about it? There reason was because some people run out on the bill and things get missed. Meanwhile the entire table is sitting here with their cards out ready to pay you? Not to mention if something is missed thats on YOU as you are the person entering the stuff into the system. Mind you we still have folks that were missing food or order was taken only for it to be sitting under a heat lamp. After some back and forth we paid (which they REFUSED to give us an itemized receipt) only for a smug waiter to come out with the missing deserts with creepy smile to literally say to us "I hope you enjoy it..." Nope. Not eating that. Matter fact we will never eat here again. This has been a yearly tradition for some Dreamhack attendees and I can wholeheartedly say that I'll NEVER step foot in here again more will anyone I associate with. If I could give it a 0 I would. read more

3.5 Despite having nerdy tendencies, this wasn't the place for me. I'm thinking that I experienced it in its weaker era. I came here on a work trip so there was a LOT going on: food buffets, bar mania, games of all sorts. Had I come here with a group of friends to play games and sip on a drink I think I would have had a different (read: better) experience. That said, I appreciate that B&B exists and what it's trying to do. Despite being here as part of a big group, the staff was perfectly lovely and patient. That's not always the case when it comes to dealing with large groups. The food menu is confusingly large and caters to about every taste.* I got a little grossed out at the thought of eating around so much dust. Board games and consoles are dirty/dusty. They show both easily. Eating around/in that didn't appeal to me. What *did* appeal to me, though, was the thought of drinking a potion. From the glass (straight up D&D) to the color (blue), I was all in. The Mana Potion had a lot of the right elements (gin, blue curacao, elderflower liqueur, lemon, and Sprite) but the extra zhuzh for our party was team too much. The edible glitter made the drink a bit thick and didn't do wonders for my stomach. It's a tough criticism because I was here for an extra sparkly drink/potion. Definitely on brand. For me, Battle & Brew is an odd space that could benefit from some editing. But, it looks like I am in the minority. I can agree with not being the target audience. So, gamers, have at it! *I didn't experience much in the way of GF/DF/VG options but, again, target audience. read more

I was truly excited to try this place because it is such a cool concept. Went yesterday for dinner with my husband, daughter, and my friend and her daughter. We opted for the board games for $7 so that we could play together at the table while we ate, which is a great idea in theory but the execution left a lot to be desired. Most of the games we tried to play were old, dirty (yuck), and incomplete. For example, we were unable to play Guess Who because both the red and blue lineups were missing people and many of the people cards were torn into pieces. We were able to play What Do You Meme, but it was obvious that most of the meme cards were missing, so we had to stop abruptly when we ran out of new cards. Since people are eating and playing, effort should be made to keep the games clean, or at the very least, provide hand sanitizer at each table so that guests aren't grossed out about handling dirty game pieces in between grabbing bites of their sandwich or other finger food. I just feel like even though $7 for board game play is reasonable, it felt far less justifiable after experiencing the issues I just explained. If you are going to charge people any amount to use the games, ensuring that those games are complete and sanitary seems like a reasonable expectation. Service was okay but most of the food did not even meet the okay standard. We started with mozerrela sticks, which were okay. The fries with all our meals were obviously the frozen bagged kind you can find at any grocery store. They added seasoning but it's not enough to hide the fact that you are eating frozen fries at a sit down restaurant. My husband ordered the Don't Call It Hotlanta chicken sandwich and I think that was probably the best tasting thing we all ordered. I ordered the ATLA with cheese and did not like it very much. The bread was too crispy, the cheese was cold, and the overall flavor just didn't do it for me. My daughter ordered the mac and cheese with a side of fries. It does say on the menu that it is Kraft mac and cheese. She didn't complain, but she's 12 and not too picky so no surprise there. I had a soda water, my daughter had a sprite, and my husband had two mixed drinks (I think margaritas). Our total bill including the $7 for a crappy board game experience came out to $94 before tip. It was not worth it and I would never return for dinner nor can I recommend that others consider this a worthy dinner spot. Nevertheless, it would be a cool spot to come to with a big group of friends to play the computer and video games while enjoying a few drinks and maybe an appetizer or two. I could see that being a fun experience and would be open to returning to play the video games with friends or maybe one of their event nights like trivia that sounds like a good time, but I won't come back specifically for dinner because there are far better place to get a far superior meal for that price around here. So, at the end of the day, two stars is my review for the dinner and board game experience, but it would probably be closer to a 4 for just video games and drinks or events because I don't think there is anything else like it around here. I am not 100% on pricing for the video games but I think I saw something like $20 per hour, which I think might be a little pricey. However, I am not a big gamer myself so I may not be the best judge of that. read more

If you're a gamer and haven't been here yet, where have you been?! I finally made it for trivia night and it was genuinely one of our most fun date nights in a while. There's plenty to enjoy no matter when you visit, but if you're going for an actual event, make a reservation through the site because seats fill up fast! Speaking of seats, yes, there's traditional restaurant and bar seating, but then there are also stations with those comfy gaming chairs (one of my favorite things, I swear!). The food was tasty, drinks were great, and I really enjoyed the spirit-free cocktail list too, because I feel like you don't see those enough. My "Kelp Juice" cocktail was spirit free and it was deliciously refreshing. Can't wait to go back! read more

Very well designed gaming spot! I love the wall murals. They have a large variety of board games on the shelves right when you walk in. There's also video games on the pc or console but that is per hour. We personally game in for the board games (it's $7 for the whole day but used to be $5 before inflation). Still worth it! I haven't heard of most games, but I wish there was a way to recommend some popular games that they should have. I couldn't give it a five stars because one of the games was missing a whopping 14 cards (the odd ones out board games). So I wish they took care of them a bit more or a way for people to let staff know if something is missing or wrong. They have a drink and food menu. The soft serve is unlimited refills. The cocktails have cool names! We got a princess peach which came with edible glitter. I got their battle and brew lager ($3), which was okay it wasn't that smooth. I loved playing their circle of jerks and dim sum game! If they had bobaescapades or some rowdy games like jungle speed, it would've been perfect. read more

Battle and brew is a fun spot for a game night or event! We've been a couple of times for their trivia nights and for game nights and both have been great! Trivia does get pretty popular so make sure you have a reservation or arrive early to get a table! They also have plenty of games both on the computer, tv, or board games, so anyone can find something to do if you're not there for trivia. The drinks are also fantastic and they have a lot of options both with alcohol & nonalcoholic! The only thing that is a bit disappointing is the food. It's like standard bar food, but honestly if I'm going to battle and brew, it's for hanging out, drinking, and playing games not exactly for a high quality meal lol read more

Visited while in town for a concert. It seemed like a good opportunity to check out all the themed cocktails and see what exactly a gaming restaurant looks like. For the first time they explain how things work and the costs. For less than $10 you can play games they have there or spend a bit more to have a digital gaming station. The concept is cool as it making gaming a far more social experience. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich was okay, but not as lemon peppery as I hoped and unfortunately my fries were awful maybe over fried or something. My sister's fries were better. Once our food arrived our server did stop by one more time but we didn't see her again. I actually had to track her down to get the check so we could leave. So concept is cool, but the food and service are just kind of okay. I likely won't return on a future trip, but it may be fun for a birthday party. read more

Came here for the birthday of a 10 year-old! It definitely has potential but, I'm gonna assume that they're not used to hosting a lot of parties? Idk! The food was good. Salty, but fresh! Drinks were top tier! Kids had a blast, but some of the logistics were not there. For a party package, there should be a server assigned to the party. Not just any random person helping. Ordering system was a bit hectic, but the kids didnt notice! Until the invite, I didn't even notice this place existed so that's pretty cool. However I did hear that the Buckhead location has closed down read more

This sandwich was much better than i expected for a gaming spot. Legitimately a really nice lemon pepper flavor and very well cooked, crispy and tender. Fries were good also, and the food came out fast and the service was great. Way better than i expected for a sandwich eating experience at a MTG pre release i would come back just for the sandwich, but the inside of this place is pretty cool read more

Our server Kevin was so funny and helpful! I love how he took care of us. We came for trivia night (PlayStation) hoping to win free Dreamhack tickets for this year. We did not unfortunately. But the food wasn't bad. I did try the new lemon pepper chicken sandwich and it just wasn't hitting. Too saucy with lemon pepper but also no real taste. The bun was disintegrating as a was eating it . The fries was good and brownie (I had it without ice cream, and stayed long enough to taste a good bit of the menu items). Like my partner enjoyed his sandwich (Dragon). I should've picked something else. They used to have this great curry dish yummmm that was Vegan but it's gone as well as like everything else practically vegan. There is only fried rice with tofu. Yay . The drinks I had was meh. The one-winged angel despite a mocktail tasted better to me than the seasonal potion drink they had. I think sometimes places over do sugar, carbs, and salt (and meat everywhere) thinking it will hit the most, but it just alienates people to me. Battle and Brew is a great nerd cafe for people like my partner and our friends, but the food is becoming a hit or miss more these days... read more

Went with our sons, 31 & 28. They Love games. Cool concept. Thumbs up for having $10 pitchers of your house brew. Where you lost big points with me is charging $14 for a hot chicken sandwich with hardly any coleslaw, barely any spice. The picture on your ad shows a huge sandwich with 2 chicken breasts on it. I only got one. Also lost points on the noise level, all thumpy-thumpy club music, very repetitive. The service was great. read more

Battle & Brew is such a cool place! They have PC gaming systems, consoles, and board games by the hour, all while you can enjoy food and drinks! They got really cool "potion" drinks. They have the Mana, Health, Stamina and Estus potions. We tried them all and they were actually pretty good and strong. As per food, they got a little bit of everything for bar food. We tried their chicken tenders & tater tots and the chicken is actually pretty good! We sat in couch with the consoles and our orders were taken from here and delivered by our server. I have to say service was pretty slow when they didn't seem as busy. They also took forever to switch out games for us. All in all, cool place to hang out, we'll be back! ESPAÑOL Battle & Brew es un lugar genial. Tienen sistemas de juegos para PC, consolas y juegos de mesa por hora, y todo mientras puedes disfrutar de comida y tragos! Tienen bebidas "pociones" realmente geniales. Tienen pociones de maná, salud, resistencia y estus. Las probamos todas y en realidad eran bastante buenas y fuertes. En cuanto a la comida, tienen un poco de todo para la comida del bar. Probamos sus chicken tenders y sus tater tots y el pollo es realmente bastante bueno. Nos sentamos en el sofá con las consolas y nuestro mesero tomó nuestros pedidos desde allí y nos lo trajo. Debo decir que el servicio fue bastante lento cuando no parecían tan ocupados. También tardaron una eternidad en cambiar los juegos para nosotros. En general, es un lugar genial para pasar el rato, volveremos! read more

I'm visiting Georgia, and my niece and great-nephew suggested we check this place out for some fun. I had a great time -- the atmosphere was lively, family-friendly, and the food was really tasty. We did have to wait a while to be seated, which may have been due to the Sunday crowd. My only critique is the pricing. While everything was good, the total came to nearly $90 for our small group, which felt a bit steep -- especially for a spot that's geared toward families with kids. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning to bring the whole crew. Overall, it was a fun outing and worth trying at least once if you're in the area. Would I go back? Maybe with a coupon! read more

I have been here a lot over the years. The food and the drink selection always used to be incredible along with the great atmosphere. There has been a drastic difference in the last few months. The drink menu has been shortened significantly. All the old staff seem to have turned over and the food is clearly pre bought Cisco food. Worst of all, the food is so salty it was inedible. They are cutting corners now and it shows. I own video games, so I can easily play at home. However, I come here for good food and good atmosphere with friends. It no longer provides that, so there's no point in coming anymore unless they go back to how it was before. read more

I've been going here for years and now I conveniently live very close by to it. A nice nerd bar where you can eat, drink and play games. The food is mostly standard bar food but they have some Asian and brunch style dishes as well. They have a fully stock bar and a huge variety of beer and specialty drink offerings and non-alcoholic cocktails too. I don't think I can remember a time where I didn't like the food that I've had but I always seem to get the dragon talons with sweet potato fries or tater tots. The talons are basically massive chicken fingers and I typically get it with either yum yum sauce or the gochujang aioli. They have a pretty nice variety of video games you can play as well that you pay by the hour. Unfortunately they have increased their prices over the years so I don't really come to play games anymore but if you have a group with you, then it's not as bad because you can split the cost. They also offer board games and PC games as well. Come on a Tuesday for half off games. Overall one of my favorite bars in the area and will definitely return. read more

Battle & Brew - Day MADE!! - Bars Near Me - Sandy Springs, Georgia

Battle and Brew is a great place to eat, drink, and play some games. The ambience is welcoming in a techy/nerdy/geeky way, which is what you'd expect for a place loaded with every kind of video game console and walls of board games. The food and drinks are solid with good theming; it's not just bar food you eat because you're there. It can get busy on weekend evenings, so there may be a wait especially for gaming consoles, but is still a good time. . Most recently came on a weeknight and had no wait and responsive service. read more

First time here to meet up some friends and it was a great time. We were having fun and got a package deal with food and drinks and the food was pretty good! I didn't get to take pictures of those but it's plenty! Came with two pizzas, chicken tenders, a big plate of nachos loaded and hummus and dip with some veggies, plus pitchers of drinks. There were about 11 of us. So, this place is great for small or large groups! Great for dates, and/or hangouts. They have all sorts of games; board games, variety of video games, you name it. I love the ambiance, it's every gamers dream come true. It's super quirky too; their restroom is a police box. I would love to come back if time permits. Till then, let's game! read more

A great place to come with friends to play a variety of games (board games and video games alike!) grab a pitcher of beer (or any other drink of your choice) choose between playing board games or renting out a seating area to play a plethora of Nintendo switch/xbox/PlayStation games! I will definitely be back again just so I can try some other games! I highly recommend the bulgogi with luv appetizer (bulgogi beef meat over totes, what more can you ask for??) Service is fast and attentive with a button at each location to call the server over! Great place to just bring friends to casually hang out, grab and drink and play some games. Also, could be a nice fun casual gaming date if you're into that read more

This really looks like it will be a cool place. They basically charge you by the hour for game time... but at least when we were here it was pretty busy and they were short on staff so it took too long to get things... switch games drinks, food... even if it takes 10 mins each time and you switch a game twice that is a third of your hour spent on waiting. We got some chicken baskets, some mozzarella sticks, and a cheese burger. The food was passable but nothing special and certainly nothing to write about. This is a venue for playing video games and having drinks. The sad thing is we paid over 200 for an hour and a half of game time, to eat food that was not worth the money, and to sit and wait for stuff while our time ticked away. Maybe coming here on Saturdays is a bad idea. And honestly we have most of what they have in games already at home. It is a very interesting concept and fun in theory but honestly save your money... it really is just not worth it. read more

We visited this gaming hall/ bar/ restaurant while visiting Atlanta. Very fun and cute for a date night or a night out with friends. You can play board games for $7, but the gaming systems are per hour and a bit higher in price. Additionally, they have free antique arcade games. Our waitress was quick and kind. The drinks were the most reasonable of all places I visited in the area. I can't judge the food, but I'd happily return. read more

Battle & Brew - Bars Near Me - Sandy Springs, Georgia

Overall: Friends, food, games, and drinks led to a great night! The good: Tons of selection when it comes to the type of game you want to play, whether it's as a group or solo. They have a variety of systems, from your typical (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo) to PC, VR, and tabletop. Depending on the type of game you play and number if people, they have different stations to accommodate. Drinks and food available as well. The not-so-good: A little too pricey depending on what you're playing. You could be waiting awhile depending on when you come, if you don't have a reservation. Food/drinks: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 read more

If you're into food, gaming, and your friends, this is a perfect spot to hang out even if you aren't a huge gamer. They have tons of events like trivia and comedy shows, as well. We hosted an adult surprise birthday party here due to its flexibility and ability to accommodate large groups. We don't take that for granted, because in Atlanta, this is extremely hard to find. Aliecia, the coordinator was very easy to communicate with and she accommodated us well. In my opinion, their party packages are a very good value. It includes time to gaming, a full buffet, and drink tickets for all the guests. Everyone left full, they don't skimp on the serving sizes. The drinks were good, too! I personally enjoyed Ryuk's Delight. It was well balanced and had a bit of a cinnamon spice to it. Our server Jacob was essentially our personal server for the entire event, and he made sure everything was refreshed and everyone had what they wanted or needed. Thanks for making it super easy to plan and execute this! We will be back, for sure! read more

I have been meaning to come here for years. I can't believe it took a spontaneous decision after Chinese food for it to happen. My 3 friends and I came in on Saturday night, and it was pretty busy. They said the wait for a table was at least an hour. You can see walking around that most of the tables weren't actually occupied, but I assumed they had a wait because of limited waitstaff. The staff informed us we could take a seat at the PC screens and that's where we ended up staying the whole night. One of my friends suggested the Rainbow Dash cocktail, and I was so happy to have been persuaded. It tasted like cotton candy and I got a second round. The games available are truly so diverse, and there is something for everyone here. It's such a unique experience, and deserves at least 1 visit. read more

I ordered a peach drink while my friend ordered the Cotten candy beverage . Chicken tenders and fries are almost always my go to and this place did not disappoint.

Food came out quickly so good thing we didn't order immediately and had time to play more before we are and then we moved to a table to eat and play a board game.

My only critique is the drink was in such a small glass for the price. Also the experience was very nice however it is very expensive per hour to play games on top of the cost of the food. This was definitely a cool experience but I don't think it's worth the price. read more

I really had no idea what to expect. I came with a group of 6 on a Saturday evening. We made a reservation which we realized was just for a food table. That wasn't a big deal because we were able to put our name on the game waitlist while we ate. Beware that they do get pretty busy at night. I had a dish with glass noodles (can't remember the name), that was pretty good and filling. I think everyone else felt like their food was good, not great. I know some in the group didn't love their cocktails. I think some of the drinks were made with a premade mix which is never as good. I did enjoy the couch/living room type sections. My group played a bunch of mario related games. I appreciated that the server was able to automatically split our bill between those of us that played games. read more

I'm the master of finding fun places to eat, but Battle & Brew is a TKO. In North Atlanta, this restaurant and bar has games galore and nerdy-themed food. We played console games for two hours while drinking health potions and noshing on comfort food. It was the most fun I've had at dinner in a long time. The drinks are very fun and very sweet. Everything is very themed and funny. The potions come in a round potions bottle with edible glitter!! They had cocktails, shots, wine, beer and sodas. I tried the Sailor Chirbi Chirbi Mocktail, which was probably my favorite drink. Can we all have a moment for mocktails? Thank goodness we have fun zero alcohol options. The food was delicious!! Lots of comfort food. The burgers and chicken sandwiches looked so yummy. To top it all off, they have a sauces menu. Seriously, this place is so good. They even have gluten-free and vegetarian options. I was able to find allergy-friendly items. My only wish was to have gluten-free buns to try a burger - a girl's gotta dream. So the games are really why you come. They have a full menu of console games, PC games, board games and arcade games. You pay by the hour for access for different sized groups. The have 2 person tables with gamer chairs and couches for larger groups. It's a brilliant setup. So well thought out. The only thing missing was being called to bed by our moms. Seriously, just five more minutes, sheesh. OH! And the Tardis was way bigger on the inside. read more

I'm always entertained to enter BnB regardless of gaming, people watching, fun activities or just chill with a few cocktails on hand. The food isn't the greatest. Can be very salty, overbearing with the rice vinegar on the Korean Japchae or tasteless for the burger meats. The desserts can be extremely sweet. But, enough variety to keep you steered away from hunger. The sweet potato fries with marshmallow dip is usually the way to go for finger foods. Always the crowd pleaser. Some fun activities to participate will be the Mini's & Mead, occasional event Cosplays throughout the year or a game of Magic on Thursdays. There are many used board games by the entrance area once you walk-in to rent & play while you dine or just bring your own as you wish. Video games are an abundance along with PC games for options galore. If you're looking for the loo, Tardis is your best friend. The events here are usually posted either on their website, Instagram or Facebook for lookup. Feel free to stop by for a few drinks and mingle while you sit by the bar. read more

I love the concept of Battle & Brew. It's a nice little gamer spot where you can pay $20 a hour for a couch/console, $7 a hour for PC, or $5 a night to play any and as many board games as you want. Their selection of board games is actually pretty extensive, and I'm impressed that they have very popular & expensive games as well. Their collection includes a lot of games I own, have heard of and always wanted to play, and games I've never even heard of- Settlers of Catan, Sushi Go, Secret Hitler, Ticket to Ride, Monopoly, Clue, Risk, Code Names (various versions), Exploding Kittens, Betrayal at House on the Hill, etc. The consoles are all very modern ones which does disappoint me. I wish that they had more retro systems as well- I think this would result in an even bigger appeal. But, they don't seem to have a problem getting guests anyways. The first time I came here, I had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. The next time I came, I couldn't even make a reservation so I went to eat somewhere else and came back 2 hours later. They always seem to have a crowd, even on the weekdays. Before midnight, anyone can come to play games or dine, but after midnight, they only allow 21 and older. I was also impressed by the food. I thought the food here would just be mediocre because the focus is on games, but I actually really enjoyed my dinner that I wanted to come back to try other items on the menu. Its definitely a more unique touch to pub food. We tried the tots, brussel sprouts, a grilled cheese, and a burger. All of the were good. On the pricier side, but if you download the app Seated and check in before coming here, you can get cashback for your meal too! read more

Pros: Idea was intriguing and the environment was cool, with all the video game screens and decor on walls. Very spacious and family friendly (perfect place for kids to really get zoned in, or the ideal video-gamer). Xbox was available! Cons: The drinks and food are overpriced and under scoring... spinach dip was dry, my potion drink was lacking alcohol, and loaded tater tots extremely soggy. Video games- there were a lot to choose from, but where were the classics? Dig Dug, Mappy, Galaga, etc... Board games were available, for a $5.00 rental charge. We played "Meme" which was fun! Side Notes: Make a Reservation!!! To rent a screen area it's $30 per hour. ID's are required (regardless of your age), so be sure older friends have them on hand. Parking is free, but fills up fast after 6:30pm on Saturdays. Drinks start around $9.00 and up... apps are $8.00 and higher. Truthfully, probably will never return... we have Xbox at home fortunately, and I can make better food/drinks in my kitchen. If the food/drinks were better, my opinion would be different. read more
