Prices are much higher on Friday & Saturday, but we didn't mind since we knew we could play free games after. Unlike Sunday -Thursday where paid games are $10/person for the whole day, it's $15 every 30 min for games. It wasn't super busy when we were playing, but it said during peak hours they could limit you to one hour. We played an hour of darts and then moved on to beer pong and skeeball. This time around the patio was open and I saw there were a few new free games out there as well. It's definitely a better deal to come Sunday-Thursday if your plan is to play the paid games, but it's still a fun place to hang out and drink regardless of the day.

We gathered in the Sunken Cork space first, which gave us a more intimate and cozy spot to hang out, do our book discussion, and celebrate before heading over to play darts. One thing we really appreciated was how accommodating the food and drink options were for our group. They had options for different dietary restrictions plus non alcoholic drinks on the menu, which made everyone feel included. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the night, and the darts were so much fun even for beginners. The system was super easy to understand and automatically tracked scores for us, which made everything stress free and enjoyable. Such a fun and unique spot for a group celebration!

Once we finished with our dart games, cocktails and food we took about 30 steps over to a connected wine bar and were able to enjoy an additional post game glass of wine.

The space is smallish but they do have bar seating in addition to seating throughout. The service was friendly and the drinks were great. They don't offer food, but they do offer cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. I went on a Sunday and they have a special menu called "Almost Monday." It's a smaller, simpler cocktail menu and the prices are very fair compared to other cocktail spots. I tried the Caipirinha (pineapple) and the Negroni sour. Both were good. My favorite between the two was the Negroni. It had a pretty color and wasn't too sour or strong. I'd def recommend it and get it again. Definitely stop in and check out this cute spot in Shawnee.

When you arrive there is parallel parking available outside the bar. When you walk in you'll feel like your bright, vibrant, and feels incredibly welcoming. Also, they have some really fun drinks as well that have been thoughtfully put together. We ended up sitting at the bar and I started with the Reformed Porn Star (vanilla vodka, bronson's tropical milk punch, passion fruit, Prosecco, citric acid and popping boba) which was by far my favorite drink and felt like I could have drank a couple more of these. Second I tried the Neo Cosmo (white rum, strawberry, cacao, coconut, rose hip, lime, bubble) which was good and was a fun drink with an ice cream shaped cup and a bubble on the top (meant to look like an ice cream cone). If you are in the area, this bar is a must try, the bartenders were awesome and took good care of us. Between the creative cocktails, fun atmosphere, unique floral setting, this was a memorable experience I'd definitely return for.

It was a little confusing at first getting everything set up and figuring out the controls, but once we got into it, it was a blast. The setup upstairs is really cool--it's somewhat separated, which helps you stay immersed, but there are still other arcade games up there so if you're waiting for your turn, you're not just standing around. One thing I really appreciated was the drink selection. I don't drink alcohol, and they had a TON of mocktail options, which honestly made the experience way better for me. It's not something every place puts effort into, so that stood out. The food was also surprisingly good, with plenty of options to choose from. Downstairs has more of a full bar vibe with additional games and more space to sit and eat (no VR down there), so it's nice to have both environments depending on what you're in the mood for. Overall, it's a great spot for groups, especially for birthdays or a night out where you want something a little different.

Having never been here, we wanted to stop by for a drink and check it out…read more We headed to the "ship", the original bar for drinks. Looking at the menu and talking to the bartender, made us realize this is not a cocktail bar, but rather a college bar as far as drinks are concerned. Prices were good, service was good; however, don't expect a stellar cocktail. A rock band was performing in the main area as you walked in and for a $10 cover charge you could enjoy dinner (sandwiches) and live music. I'm guessing the drinks menu was the same, but I couldn't say that for sure. This is a fun space and we will check out their calendar for live music; however, I will lower my drink expectations in the future. They earned a 4 for the space/vibes and a 3 for the drinks.

Kids and I had a blast at BRKTHROUGH when we visited KC. Our group was me and my two sons (14,…read more12). At BRKTHROUGH, you compete in challenge rooms (there are 40 of them, although a couple were unavailable during our visit) - they last a minute or longer, and are categorized as Physical (requiring speed, agility, coordination, etc), Mental (brainpower, trivia, memory, and puzzle-solving), or Skill (precision, dexterity, patience). The descriptors above came from the BRKTHROUGH website, but I can confirm that they are descriptive of the challenges. The room type/difficulty is shown on a triangle, so they are often a combination of two items (for example, mostly physical with some skill-based components). Every room is scored based on your completion (or lack, thereof) out of 100 points. You can redo rooms as often as you like, keeping the highest score. Your team has an RFID wristband to enter the rooms. Your goal is to earn as many points as you can during the time period you paid for (we did 2 hours). Not only do you try to get your best score, there is a leaderboard to show how you are doing against the other teams in the building. You can earn a prize if you obtain a certain minimum score, or win against the other groups. Other than the boys arguing over strategies, we had a good time. Even with young kids, we were able to complete a lot of the rooms. There are plenty of rooms that could be completed by those with physical limitations, but obviously not all of them. We had a good time and the time flew by. There is also a bar and restaurant and a few games to play after your time is up. We had a blast and would definitely return again! , with live leaderboards tracking everyone in the building. You can read more about the activities or book your session on

Who else will let you run a tab to order 75-cent draws? The overall feel is like being in somebody's basement rec room...if they have a juke box in said rec room filled with Tom Waits and Ramones stuff and smoke a lot of Basic Lights. It ain't fancy...I believe the lot is gravel, and it's the sort of place where the "top shelf" liquor might just be brown liquid in a clear bottle with a piece of masking tape marked "whiskey"...but it's sitting on the top shelf, eh? But who are we kidding, you're gonna get the Busch that's on tap, anyway and play some shuffleboard. Don't get yourself overserved (the KCPD metro south patrol division is just down the street), or, if you do, hang out and play with the Boston terrier for a while until you sober up.
