    Great arcade bar with a wide drink selection and good food. They have a great mix of games from classics to modern games.

    Great selection of classic cabinets (including pinball) in fantastic condition, a full bar and a stage for upcoming performances.

    Honestly, this place would be great for those that are looking for a relaxed night, not a club…read moreatmosphere. It was pretty dead, with lots of older folks. The outdoors area was cute, but not at all the vibe that we were expecting, especially because they charge such a high cover fee! If you're looking for a club experience, you're better off going to the city.

I'm too narcissist for this lol. After the bodyguard accuse me of doing something I didn't do, I began to record the incident. Which is where I caught the bartender Solomon or "Sal" standing in front of me to protect assets that were never in jeopardy in the first place. These poor intimidation tactics is why you should not patron unkept establishments such as these. The bartender Jessica?? was cool as hell though. Please tip her well. There are other employees here that do an amazing job but I can't stand a jack$;& so I'm calling them out. Places like these will never take the trash out so I'm warning you right now, my review and others are not wrong. It's hit or miss on how you will be treated. What's interesting is that they never asked me what I was doing, but because it's "me", the assumptions is the problem I have. My friend, who wasn't not there during the incident actually recorded the women dancing and posted to all social media platforms. So, to the plus's size body guard, the ladies aren't safe and you did a poor job protecting them. I didn't know she did this until we left the club and I told her about the incident. She has full videos of butt and boobs and here I am taking a video of myself sitting on a couch. You've been warned people .

    I have been a patron of Metropolis for as long as I can remember, starting with the influence of my…read moregrandpa and grandma taking me to the children's shows. The quaint theater doesn't really have a "bad" seat in the house! They have programming that spans improv, musicals, classic plays, children's theatre, educational concerts, a capella, etc. They also have a performing arts school in which my daughter has taken classes and summer camps at. One star off because I wish they would do more accessible tickets e.g. rush tickets or lotteries. One of shows of the children from the school of the performing arts was, like, $20/person. Also, the Play that Goes Wrong was $50. I can see a Broadway in Chicago show for that price if you go about it utilizing the proper channels. I do not utilize the bar during shows, but they sell snacks, which are not allowed in the theater, and drinks, which are allowed in the theater.

    Very disappointed we paid for seats and then was told first come first serve. So nit happy we…read morewaited in lobby thinking we had a say section 3 seat 7-8. So our seats we 3-4 , 5-6, 7-8. For three couples. Instead seat were saved and not together. Every one in this row thought the same. It was awful and birthday party like ours and they had to divide up as some couple sat between them. I see plays on the regular and not sure I would come back here. They cast only performed to the middle section. So it was not worth what we paid. I plan to take my friends to another venue next time.

    I've been here a few times over the years. They have a lot of big names that come through. The…read moreparking sucks because it's part of the mall and there are restaurants nearby. I think if they were a stand alone building, the parking would not be as awful. After you park, they have two lines going into the building. One is general admission and the other is VIP. General admission was on the left and VIP was on the right. They are not labeled. VIP just means that you sit closer to the stage. Seats are like first come first serve. Btw when it is busier, they have people sitting in front of you at each table. They fill each table to the max. In general, I would recommend lining up at least 30-40 mins before the show begins, for better seating. After you sit down, you have to order two items per person. We just ordered two drinks each. It's kind of an asinine rule but I guess that's how they make their money. We ordered food in the past. Ever since then, we just grab food nearby before coming. Food was okay here. The drinks are not bad, the glasses are a good size so you can sip on it throughout the show. Service was good, although it could be better. It took awhile to receive our drinks. Depending on the comedian, you can get a free picture or you have to pay for one. Overall, it's like a 3.5 experience but 5 stars for the comedian. Meh, I'll give it 4 stars.

Parking was in an issue the place is small their stairs but there's also an elevator which I like the fact that it is small because it's more intimate that way and the comedian can actually interact with the audience. We didn't really try the food but there is a two drink minimum or an order of food so we just did two drinks it's a bit pricey so just need to expect that. The service was great the our server was always there checking up on us and asking what we needed so that's also a good thing. Will definitely come back and see more shows here. Happy watching!
