Walked in and thought omg this place is dead as a door know. But they have 3 levels if I'm…read moreremembering right. Went to the 3rd level and it was popping. There was music, games and all the other diners. My server was pretty good but drinks and food was mediocre. WARNING-- if you're planning to order wings--just know that you only get 6 for $18 because the count isn't listed on the menu. I felt like I was taken advantage of because that's RIDICULOUS!!! I've never been charged that much for party wings, even at upscale restaurants.When my wings were sat down in a tiny bowl, I was livid.....I felt like it was highway robbery and definitely not worth the price. The only cool thing about this place was the free Photo Booth I noticed when leaving. It was free to take videos and pictures then send to your phone via text messages. I wouldn't recommend the food or drinks here because the price gouging is insane and there are way better places to eat and drink in the area. Also, there wasn't a Dj present because I kept hearing the same songs being played as if there was a playlist being played from a device of some sort. On a good note --the restrooms were pretty clean and they have board games to play on the first level where you enter at. It was ok, but I highly doubt I'd return.

Our party was at 10 a.m. on a Sat. and there was just one other b-day group there that the boys played against and also each other. I believe there can be up to 4 teams. We'd definitely host a party here again, and other parents said the same. Everyone had a blast! If you're not sure, check it out beforehand like we did on an early Sun. afternoon when it's not crowded. The manager on hand that day was super friendly and threw in a game for us to see what it was like. Fantastic staff working here!

Our primary server at the bar twice has been Leon. He is amazing! We do not recall our other primary server but everyone works together as a team!

We have had the happy hour special of a hot dog served with chips or a small salad. The salad is very nice and the kettle chips are great! I have also had the chicken tacos that I had served with the side salad. It's literally one two many tacos for me! This is a great place for couples and family's! Lots of games and not to loud music. If you sit at the bar there is also a nice view of the water/Wharf area! Overall this has been a great experience! Don't miss this place!

I love the whole arcade-meets-bar concept, and the space has a fun, funky vibe that makes it easy to spend a few hours there. That said, I think the food is just okay. It's never really been the reason I go, and I'd probably recommend sticking to drinks if you're stopping by. On my most recent visit with a group of friends, the staff also seemed a little overwhelmed, so service was a bit slower than expected. Even with those drawbacks, I'll definitely be back. The arcade games, atmosphere, and location at the Wharf make it a really fun spot to hang out, even if the food isn't the main attraction.

Our server, who turned out to be one of the managers (a tall African-American gentleman whose name…read moreI unfortunately can't remember), was absolutely amazing. The restaurant was extremely busy since it was the weekend, but he remained attentive, professional, and friendly throughout our visit. When we received the wrong pizza, he handled it promptly and made sure everything was corrected right away. This isn't typically the kind of establishment I would gravitate toward, but the level of service truly made the experience memorable. Great customer service always stands out, and he definitely delivered that.

The back bar was closed for no apparent reason so we sat in the front. Someone did come and take our order. We got four cocktails (four people) and ordered chips and dip and a trio of hummus. We later flagged someone down and got pretzel sticks - note "flagged someone down" because for the rest of the evening if we wanted anything, including to pay, that is what we did. Multiple times we had to go bug the golf counter lady because the wait staff sure as hell wasn't interested, even though there were like 3 of them at the bar doing absolutely nothing. The chips and dips appeared long before anything else. Including water, which we asked for. Disgusting. The salsa was both really smokey and sugary sweet and my group speculated it had to have been canned. The guacamole was slightly better but it was obvious from the brown color and dull flaor it was probably made in a big batch and fridged much earlier in the day. Gross. The other two food items were decent. The pretzel sticks were particularly good. As for the cocktails? I wouldn't be able to tell you because they never came even though we asked about them repeatedly and were told oh they're coming. We watched multiple people dicking around at the bar for a good half hour while we waited. At one point one of them started sweeping up. We had watched the drinks go into the little ordering machine. We nudged them. Guess they could not be bothered. Eventually we had eaten all three of our heavily staggered food items and still no drinks so we decided to cancel and get drinks elsewhere. We finally flagged a waitress and she literally came up to us and said your drinks never came. No shit. I said we wanted to just cancel them. She literally walked away from our table without saying a word. No let me go tell a manager, let me check on that, nothing. Just walked away silently. Were we being punished? We waited a good ten, maybe fifteen minutes after that? Then a member of our party went up to the golf counter to ask if he could just pay there for our food. Then of course the waitress comes rushing over to have us pay. Guess she wanted that tip. This was insane. We were there for like an hour and they could not be bothered to make us our cocktails.

It feels like a friend's rich parent's fancy basement where you would get super wasted and play games with friends. Definitely come on a chill weeknight when it's quiet to avoid the chaos. The machines are pricier than other barcades, so we played more board games than pinball. It's more of a place to have a drink than to game for me. The bartender seemed unhappy when we walked in, and our group of 4 were the only customers so that was a bit awkward. The door guy was awesome though. We'd absolutely come back when in DC.

The music is always a great mix of 80s hits (Bee Gees, ABBA, MJ, etc.). The drinks are appropriately priced. If you're coming here to play billiards on the weekend, don't bother. It's almost impossible to get a table, unless you can beat the finance bros. Still super fun!
