I visited this bar on a rainy Saturday evening with some coworkers. We reserved a table ahead of…read moretime, which was a good call. By the time 8 pm came around, the place was starting to get packed.
Described to me as a "nerd" bar, I was expecting the decorations on the walls when I arrived. The place was covered with many references to popular video games, movies, and books. It had a very cozy feeling, and you could tell many of the people there were frequent patrons.
I was convinced to split a bottle of mead with two friends, which is homemade by the bar. I unfortunately did not like it, finding it too sickly sweet and thick (from the honey) for my tastes. It takes a while to choose from the menu, as it is several pages long with many drink specials and shots, but my simple tequila sunrise was much better.
They have a large number of board and card games for patrons to play, and my group greatly enjoyed playing "Cards against Muggles." There's even an old Nintendo 64 in the corner, though I'm sure it's hard to get a spot on that during the night.
Word of advice for when you go to the bar: it can get pretty packed up as waves of people all seem to get drinks at once. If you just wait a bit longer, the line will eventually die down, and you can walk right up and order. This place also appears to have hot food, though I did not look at that menu nor try any of it, but it is good to know.
Over all I would not mind coming back to this bar. It may invite a fun crowd but the atmosphere is very relaxed. The prices are also reasonable compared to other places. Just be sure to get your seat early or reserve it.
