I've been here a couple of times now and have had so much fun. They offer new and old games so…read moreanyone can find something they like. It's changed a bit since my 1st visit. They've expanded and have more seating space (parties) and have "breakout rooms" with different games. One of them had Dance Dance Revolution (for 2) which was nice. Made it more private. They also now offer beer (they only used to offer cider) which is a huge plus. The service was also great. The bartenders were friendly. I'll definitely be going again. Quick Tip: download the app. They give free admission for newbies and you can play games (on the app) to get puzzle pieces for free drinks/passes.

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

It was 8 of us and we only paid about $50 for an hour of bowling, which is kind of unheard of for a group that size. The place was definitely busy, but the staff kept things moving. Our waiter was super friendly and came through with solid drink recommendations (which we *definitely* needed lol). Food took about 20-30 minutes, but again, packed house so no complaints there. Now... the only thing holding this place back a little: the bowling balls. Baby, they have been THROUGH IT some were cracked and pretty beat up, so that could use an upgrade for sure. Other than that, good vibes all around. Plus, they've got pool tables if you want to switch it up. Would I come back? Yes. Would I bring my own bowling ball next time? Also yes lol.

Even though she is a bartender, she has been behind the bar and had to leave to deliver food or get extra side items. She listens, shes quick, has a great attitude, and is overall who you want in the industry. She treated me very well and shes treated my friends/co workers just as good. The vibe is always good in her area and the music is really freakin good. If im being honest, im only coming back for Miss Jay, she deserves all my money!!!

My wife and I joined a random team that the league ended up filling up with free agents. We ended up having a fun time and met a bunch of cool people. We were thankful not everyone was great at bowling because we're not so hot at it either. It's fun to meet new people you bowl against each week as well as after bowling when everyone hangs out. Looking forward to the next league we can join!

Lanes felt decently oiled during my visit. However, our lane felt a little glitchy. On one occasion, the pin resetter failed to pick up 2 of the pins from a previous player's turn. The computer also didn't register several gutter balls throughout the 2 hours we played. Overall, it's still a very worthwhile experience. Despite the hiccups, this game room offers quite a nightly vibe on an otherwise quiet campus. It stays open on Fridays until 12:30AM and even serves alcohol for ages 21+. In addition, you can find plenty of other games here including a PS5, dual monitor PC set up, air hockey, and pool. There's certainly something for everyone to enjoy.

Some games ate up double credits because they didn't initiate the game after the first scan... Prizes here are absolutely not worth the money you invest into playing the games. Even if you win several jackpots it wouldn't be worth it given how skewed the prize system is. Maybe you'd get better value on their half off play days, but otherwise full price days are a ripoff.

I took the question as a joke and tried to walk into the bar, but I was quickly stopped and told I could not enter. I've been to Unicorn multiple times (I even went the night before) and have only been asked that question once--by the same bouncer--and I gave the same BBQ sauce answer and was allowed entry. I even asked one of the security officers at the front which sauce they preferred, and they said they didn't like either, which I find ironic.
