The service at the bar was fast and smooth, it got busy at times, but I didn't have to wait more than 3 minutes for a drink. When you come to the establishment, it is in the BACK, you have to go through a metal door, so it has a cool speakeasy like vibe. You have to provide some $$ to get arcade coins, but it wasn't expensive, we got to play a lot of different games like basketball or foosball or racing. The one downside is that at the time we went, the music was so loud, it was almost impossible to hold a conversation in the arcade, so I hope they would reduce the volume a little bit for future patrons. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this as a spot on a cold day with friends or even as a date night!

We came strictly for the gatcha claw games. Booked it on a $50 /175 credit game card, plus activation fee. Then realized their credits per try was 24 credits on the labubu so they definitely raking it. I've been to other gatchas where it's $10 for 7 tries. Much better value on authentic labubu. It's alright i get it make your money. Just wont be for us in the future. We did hit a sonny angel blind box though! They also have the pop mart blind boxes for resale in their prize section. Gotcha machines is on the right side, lines the one hallway toward the bathroom.

Gatcha was exactly what made me drive 40 min to Square One Mall! I kept seeing videos of the…read morestuffed animals others would win from here, as well as LABUBUS!!! So, actually it was a bit underwhelming in person. Honestly, it's a very small space and didn't have that many claw machines in reality. I was under the impression that it would have rows and rows of machines filled with different prizes. Turned out to be only like 10-15 machines. If you win two small stuffed animals, it counts as a ticket toward a bigger prize you can redeem. If you win bigger stuffed animals, they can count as one or two tickets depending on which ones they are (they have labels on each machine). We decided to try our luck with $50/175 credits. The Labubu machines are honestly not worth playing, in my opinion. Unlike the neighboring machines, the claws for the Labubu boxes don't have grip (likely on purpose lol). Also, ~24 credits each play for the labubus, which is around $7 (3.5credits/$1 I'd get $50/175 credits). I've played claw machines for labubus that aren't Gatcha brand for much better prices. For example, $10 for 7 tries... which 7 tries here for labubu box claw machine would equate to ~$49. $10 vs $49, no bueno. Even though I didn't get to score a labubu this day, I did start off strong and hit a Cherry Blossom Sonny Angel on my first try, so that was great ;) Every time you win a prize from the claw machines, you have to notify the staff so that they can unlock the machine to give you your prize. Verdict: Would I come back again? Probably not. Pretty pricey for what it is and limited stuffed animal options.

There's a lot I could say here but…read more.. I made a reservation at Lucky Strike days in advance because we were excited. Most of us hadn't bowled in years (or ever), and this was supposed to be a farewell outing for a friend. We left wondering, did that really just happen? It took forever to even be acknowledged. We ordered drinks, a pizza, and a sampler. The server suggested a pitcher deal (cool, thanks) only for the soda to come out tasting like straight carbonation with no flavor. Turns out the machine was broken. Fine. We asked for water, somehow that was a problem too. Our sampler? Never came. When we asked about it, the server really said "who did you order that with?" and then told us it wasn't her, while I'm sitting there knowing we ordered it with her. Instead of owning it, she argued. Wild. They "fixed" the soda machine and brought us flat soda. At that point, just take it away. We ordered lemonades instead which took 20 minutes and she (the manager) forgot one, then caught an attitude when we said something. When the sampler finally came, the chicken was literally falling apart and touched the table when they put it down. We ate the germs. The manager kindly told us she removed the pitcher from the bill and added the lemonades. That however, doesn't make up for bad food, worse service, and a completely ruined experience. We paid to be annoyed the entire time. I wouldn't come back.

Football season too so we wanted some place cool go watch the game with a fun activity and food--boom, Lucky Strike. Though they had a bowling special since it was a Sunday night of unlimited bowling after 7pm, we opted out as we were tired. Instead, we bought reloadable game cards to play on the machines. They have classic arcade games such as ski-ball, air hockey, and even pinball machines. Then there are some newer ones as well. I really liked the giant connect four and the pink panther game. Unfortunately a few games we played didn't work and I had to run around and find a staff member so they could fix my credits. After playing the games we headed over to the bar to catch some of the game and eat. They had booths all around the bar with QR codes on the table so you can order/pay from your phone and they bring it to you. There were TVs and projectors as well surrounding. Though the staff was nice the food took a long to go be prepared, and the place was empty during the snow storm. We ordered the appetizer sampler which was pretty good, but we didn't care for the chicken. I did like the pretzels and mozzarella sticks. Some other fun stuff they had included pool tables, shuffleboard, and a photo booth you could use by swiping your game card. Plus they have a prize room to redeem your tickets but it was closed.... Sadly it was quiet in there and I think had it been packed it would be more fun and lively. Overall it wasn't perfectly functioning with broken games and long waits for the food, but, we still had fun and we'd come back for bowling.

It did get pretty hot inside while running around, so be prepared to sweat a little. We could see that the AC was set on 69 but the temperature was 78 so the AC may have been having issues. They also had some industrial fans to help cool it down. They provide free lockers but you can't bring a water bottle with you in the quest area. This was an awesome group activity that requires problem-solving, teamwork, and physical activity. We only paid for 2 hours but could have definitely stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Parking will be a nightmare unless you have a garage space. This place is packed, even on a wednesday evening when we went. There are lots of pool tables that appear to be well maintained. There is a bar and plenty of tables around. We ordered some finger foods and they brought it to our pool table area. All of the food was fresh and well cooked, but they were very heavy on seasoning (salt!). Everything was too salty to really enjoy. Depending on which pool table you get, you may or may not have enough counter space to even place your food. Server was friendly. Seems like a great place for after work hang out or to bring your date or to just chill with friends.
