I checked out this downtown lounge in Spartanburg last night and really liked it…read more It's underground with late night vibes, tasty drinks, cigars, and entertainment. I'm 30, and while most of the crowd was 40 plus, there were people my age too. You could tell a lot of the people there were regulars. Everyone was kind. The music was a nice mix, not too old school and not too modern. A decent volume. The owner said they sometimes have live music as well. This place has multiple TVs for sports, karaoke, plenty of seating, and really good ventilation. I don't smoke, and the cigar smell didn't bother me at all. The back den area was calm, private, and had a TV. They also have VIP lockers and updated cameras, which made the place feel safe. The food and drinks were good and came out in a decent time. The owner, Desmond, took over this place four years ago and was very welcoming. We even played a game of chess and he beat me. The whole place felt friendly, almost like visiting family. I would definitely come back!

The name comes from Pinky, one of the four ghosts in Pac-Man, the only female one, who has been in…read morelove with Pac-Man since 1980 and has gotten nothing back for it in forty-five years. The owner named his arcade after this ghost, which is either the most romantic thing a business owner has ever done or the most honest, and I've been unable to decide which since I left. The 80s are here the way the 80s are always here once you're old enough: not as decoration but as a low-grade persistent condition, the kind that flares up without warning in a grocery store when a song comes on that you haven't thought about since 1987 and then can't stop thinking about. The arcade cabinets are lined up along the walls, the kind that hummed and ate your quarters with no apology in 1984. They still hum. The quarters part is covered in the flat admission fee of either $15 an hour or $20 for a whole day of genuine nirvana, which is a more generous arrangement than the original decade ever offered. There are also two chandeliers for an elegant touch, a full ornate candelabra situation hanging above the consoles, which is either a design decision made with great confidence or a mistake that became load-bearing. Either way I respected it. I played Frogger. The frog died repeatedly, in the specific way things die when they commit at the wrong moment. I stood there longer than I planned. Henry, who is almost eight, played pinball at what I can only describe as an alarming rate. Not alarming in the sense of worry, alarming in the sense of watching someone do something faster and more confidently than the years they've had on earth would suggest. He worked through three machines in sequence, nudging each one at the right moment with the flat of his palm, the way men who've been doing this since the Reagan administration do it. I stood behind him and said nothing, which is a thing I do more and more as he gets older, because there is increasingly less to add. Pinky's Revenge moved recently from Taylors Mill to downtown Greer, forced out by South Carolina's new liquor liability laws and the fact that Taylors Mill has the ambiance of a place where people likely get killed on a rerun of Law & Order. The drink menu is fully canned, which is the correct delivery mechanism for a room like this. A PBR for three fifty next to Donkey Kong feels exactly right, and I say that as someone who also paid seven dollars for a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and did not regret it. The menu also carries Jolt Cola for five dollars, still advertising all the sugar and twice the caffeine, which was the entire value proposition of being seven in 1985. There is Capri Sun for two dollars and Yoo-hoo also for two dollars. I ordered both for the family without explanation because none was required. Clearly we had a thirst little could quench. The menu also lists THC seltzers, Rebel Rabbit, five or ten milligrams, eight dollars. The last time I was in a room like this it was 1988, a Putt-Putt Golf and Games off a highway in suburban south Anderson, and the most transgressive thing available was a second game token and a Mello Yello. A woman near the pinball machines was wearing jelly bracelets, the translucent kind, stacked to the elbow. She was in her forties. She beat the machine badly and walked away without looking back, which is the most 80s thing I have ever seen a person do in real life, and I was there for the original run.

Love it!! I…read moretook my kids here for some nostalgia and good times on vintage video games. They have moved to a new location in downtown Greer. The owner was there when we visited and was very warm and welcoming. We bought wristbands for unlimited arcade games for $15, which is a great deal considering how much you would spend at an arcade to play all day. We enjoyed classics like pac man, Mario, teken3, frogger, mortal combat, pinball, and many more. They also have ice cream and snacks for purchase, or you can walk to a variety restaurants nearby. This place will definitely be a repeat! Highly recommended!

The crowd there is very accepting and welcomes every newcomer with open arms! They encourage an atmosphere of healthy communication and friendship! You won't find trouble or fighting there like you might at a lot of other bars at night. Easy access to a pool table gives you casual entertainment, as well as the bar sporting an arcade style bowling game and three separate TVs for watching pretty much whatever you are in the mood for. A Touch Tunes jukebox on the wall means that you can play any song your heart desires while you grab a cold one from their wide selection of beer and small selection of wine. Every once in a while, they have a fish fry hosted by a local fisherman who cooks on site, and on holidays, they offer food as well. Occasionally, they have a food truck on site. Not to mention, they have a small selection of snacks and sodas stocked at the bar at all times. Wednesday night is APA pool league night, and they welcome players to join their team, The Twisted Ducks, whether you are new to the game or an old pro. Saturday nights are Game Night and karaoke, and you can expect some great singers in the house. They offer a selection of board and card games available for you and your friends to join in on, of which the most popular are Cards Against Humanity and Heads Up! If you haven't checked this place out before, you're missing out. It looks daunting from the outside, but once you're in, the mood is absolutely wonderful! Everyone is a friend there, just waiting to connect with you! You should go down there and see what kind of fun there is to be had down by the river. You won't be disappointed!

It has a good karaoke selection. It does not require a membership like libbys. Things to remember when reading this review. This is a local bar in a local area. It does allow smoking. It does have a pool table. This isn't a millennial karaoke hipster place. This is a honkey tonk karaoke local bar, however, the people are nice. Just understand that if you are from some big city looking for big city karaoke, this isn't that kind of place. It's smoky, dance floor, karaoke, and pool.

Stocked bar with draft beer options. Didn't see a soft drink machine. But Coke products at the bar. Nice TV by the bar. Friendly staff and very clean tables and area compared to other airport lounges I have been at recently. It's team work they told me :-) There is a single bathroom and no diaper changing area as other has noted. Still nicer than most airport bathrooms :-)

Ahead of my 4pm flight I found deli meats, sandwiches, hummus with pita chips, and a couple hot bar items that looked like they'd been out for quite a while. There are cereal dispensers but I'm not sure where the milk is, and some pastries look like they've been sitting out for a long time. There are a few snacks and a couple beverages (lemonade and cucumber infused ice water), with a good deal of the counter space occupied by a fancy coffee machine. Not sure how to get just coffee. There's a full service bar if you're the drinking type, and I believe that's extra $... but I'm not a drinker, so I might be wrong. Seating is challenging if you have more than 1-2 people and the space is small so would fill up fast with a bunch of business travelers taking up whole tables with computers. Like most lounges, there's nowhere out of the way to stow luggage. The bathroom is co-ed... because there is only one single stall in the entire place. Go in private, but know there's going to be one or many someones impatient for you to finish. It absolutely reeks of stale air freshener and the floor and toilet seat are both sticky. No place to put a purse or bag off the floor in a spot you can access from the toilet. I'm a dirty hippie and this bathroom was gross to me - you might be better served by the regular restrooms.
