    Nomads is a truly fun place for all ages. You'll be surprised by how packed the parking lot will get, yet the inside crowd won't be overwhelming. The lines aren't long and the attractions aren't crowded inside. The only thing my kids had to wait on was the laser tag and that wasn't a big deal. You just sign up for a time slot and keep yourself busy with all the other activities. Definitely sign up for Laser tag, my kids always choose at least 2 time slots if available. There is so much to do here there is not a way to ever get bored. My pictures to not give this fun zone justice. I also like their prize selection at the end. It's all on card so that great for the environment. The clerks are quick, friendly, and efficient. Prizes aren't too humdrum either. My youngest is age seven and my oldest is eighteen, and Everyone's thoroughly entertained the entire night at Nomads! The thing I most love about Nomads is you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to have fun with a significant group of kids. This is one of those places each kid can bring a friend and you won't have to dip into your retirement to pay for everyone's snacks :). All in all this was a great night and the kids sleep soundly after our trip home.

    Fun for all ages! We visited during winter break during the day and it was the perfect timing to be able to access everything with little to no waits. The gaming areas were all well kept and clean. A large parking lot out front for easy access. For about 2 1/2hrs, our son played about $100 worth of games. They do have an on premise restaurant and snack bar.

    Had a great day with the kids at Nomads. We were invited for a 30th birthday party. Lots of games. Tons of activities. Because of the party we did not have time for laser tag. I definitely want to return for that. Also love the basketball TicTacToe which I've played before. Could've sat there all day. The entire place was clean, the staff was friendly and plenty of room even on a weekend. My only criticism would be the food. They had a few different dishes and I was not a fan of much of it. May have been because it was in the party room and not the regular menu. I did not go into the pub, But heard great things from some of the gas at the party. Overall great experience I would be there more often if not so far away from my house.

    The floor was very sticky

    The soft pretzels from the stand in the back were some of the best I have ever had, most of the games were broken and were easy to break, as I was leaving I saw a staff fixing a game so I assume that they are quick to fixing the games but the games are cheap and easy to break, the lazer tag was great, I would recommend going here but not for an entire day, it's better if you bring friends with you

    Get used to this if you care to waste your money here.

    Laziest most inattentive staff. Half the machines here don't work and trying to get assistance is impossible. It seems like the entire staff took break at 3pm. I waited for help at a skeeball machine for over 10 minutes after going to the front desk to have them radio twice. Still no one showed up. After having run 3 corporate events here that went fairly well, I can say I will never bring my family here again nor will I book another event here. Despite the fun concept of the place, their broken equipment and careless staff make this a place not worth your time or money.

    Recently, I've been hired by a nice couple to be the DJ and emcee at their upcoming wedding. When I first learned that the reception was being held at Nomads, I had no idea what to expect. When we had our first meeting we decided to meet at the venue and boy I was pleasantly surprised. The banquet room is bright and spacious, the staff is friendly and there is plenty of parking. I'm really looking forward to performing here. As for the Nomad establishment as a whole, what fabulous concept. They have practically every arcade game you can imagine, a Rick climbing wall, a billiard room, bumper cars, cinema, electronic bull, and two full sized basket ball courts and more. In addition, there are restaurants and smaller rooms for parties. To top it all off, it's all indoors so you can visit Nomads 12 months of the year, rain or shine. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I haven't actual used the facility yet.

    The laser tag was fun! The Rock climb was o.k. The kids enjoyed themselves! Customer service was not the greatest, but we managed. We ate over at the Tavern, the food was o.k. Check your receipts before leaving. We was overcharged.

    The METAL NUT IN THE CHICKEN SANDWHICH

    I am sorry to leave a long complaint because I never complain but I want to save a family from wasting their time and frustration at this arcade! My boyfriend, his son and myself visited the arcade today 7/20/19. This place looks great online. The bumper cars and tea cups were fun and the associates running them were so nice. The rest of the arcade was AWFUL! 1. Multiple games restarted (connecting to internet error messages) after paying for the games. 2. We reserved our spot for laser gate with an associate, came back for our scheduled time, paid for 3 of us and THEN they told us we couldn't play we open opened toe shoes. 3. The vending machine took our money- waited 15 mins only to go BACK to the front desk to REMIND the associates we were still waiting for one of them to show up(they did nothing to fix the machine by the way- just gave us a water) 4. WORST PART OF THE VISIT- We went to eat at RED'S TAVERN when my boyfriend bit down into something hard in his chicken sandwich. It was a METAL NUT IN HIS FOOD!!!!! He almost choked on it. When we told the server he said wow that's weird. He took off 75% off of the $35 bill. The manager never came out never once did they say sorry! We asked for the manager who once came out of the back said " oh yeah they told me about this." Showed her the picture and said we are not paying for this. She said " ok that's fine" and that was it. She was not apologetic nor was she surprised! We visited the front desk more than 5 times for issues ALONG with other parents who we frequently saw at the front desk as well. So disappointed in the customer service and staff OTHER than the bumper car associates!

    How old do you have to be to play billiards? Last time I went there was a sign saying anyone under 18 had to be with an adult (I'm almost 23). I've been looking to play billiards with my brother who turns 21 next year, so would he be able to do so?

    Yes, just have him buy the table with his ID at our front desk

They have a bunch of wraps, burgers, sandwiches and also some entree choices too. The most surprising part is the prices aren't jacked up because its located inside of kids place. Food prices are all in-line with any chain or local restaurant out there and what you get is pretty decent. I got a pulled pork sandwich and it tasted pretty great and I didn't know what to expect. The staff was attentive and although it took a little longer for food than I may hoped (not too long to drop any stars). Regardless it doesn't matter and it was well worth the time/money. When we go to Nomad's again we will be going here again. Oh and I guess they got live music too on weekends. That's always a bonus too!

Once upstairs, the view of the CT River, East Hartford, and Hartford was spectacular. The late summer afternoon sun plus faint breeze made for a perfectly comfortable time. People mingled at standing tables and around the benches on the upper deck (and there were a respectable number of benches, which isn't often the case). Inside the event space were polished wooden floors and high ceilings. A coworker noted the restrooms were somewhat oddly placed behind a long hallway closed off by a door and there were some cobwebs in the window frames, but otherwise the space was quite nice. The staff at the bar on the deck poured wine just shy of the adjective "liberal" which was great. However, some other coworkers had to request adjustments of the food arrangement to prevent cross-contamination for those with allergies (adjustments were made promptly). The food - seasonal tapenade for appetizers and build-your-own pasta bar for the main - were well done otherwise with a good array of options. On the whole, a respectable event space on a scenic river. There were other groups actively using the rowing space/lower level, but you could barely tell because the upper level was high enough away.

Notwithstanding, we looked forward to something unique and outstanding, given the constant advertising on Yelp for the Parker House Rolls. The hostess was friendly, the waiter a bit snobbish, but perhaps that's the "exclusive" vibe they are trying to project. We went on to peruse the menu, which is a bit abbreviated; I assumed it's because they are focused on their "specialty." We took in the views, which, hailing from New York City, were not as vast or fascinating as those we were used to. Granted, we knew where we were and really had no expectations. We just wanted to enjoy dinner. The meal's presentation was beautiful. The Parker House Rolls were delicious. The Hamachi Crudo appetizer was perfection. I did not enjoy the Skate Wing and did not eat it; it had a tough rubbery texture; probably overcooked. I mentioned to my waiter that I didn't enjoy it, and he offered no alternative, so I ate more rolls. My husband enjoyed the Dry Aged Rohan Duck. We topped it off with a chocolaty dessert and French press coffee. The friendliest of the staff was a young man who collected our plates after our entrees. He smiled and interacted in a very down-to-earth manner. Overall, the appetizer, rolls, and dessert were delicious. The service was stoic and not warm or welcoming. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be visiting again.
