I was really disappointed that they expect a 20% tip when you rent a simulator and food total combined. Next time if we go we will eat check out and then rent a simulator. Our food total was around 50 but the suggested tip was 40. It was absurd. Especially considering I had to flag down for refills and anything needed. read more

Cool spot that's fairly new in the industrial area off Olivas road . Service and cleanliness was great. I ordered : All American Burger medium done with their caesar salad instead of seasoned fries. 5/5 Burger was pretty good. Juicy and well seasoned . Caesar salad was ok. I wish it was pre tossed on the dressing cause it was hard to mix it on the plate without overspilling. Melbourne pale ale 5/5 Light in flavor with fresh and crisp finish read more

Wow - went back tonight. Bar tender was the worst - I went up to order a drink - he clearly saw me - decided to sit down. So instead of ordering - I just closed my husband tab. Love that they ask for a tip when they hand you the bill. Terrible service. At the prices they are charging they might want to have good service. read more

Unfortunately, we didn't end up staying. I wasn't upset about not being served for 15 minutes -- I understand they were busy. The real issue was the extremely loud DJ during Sunday football. We love going out on Sundays to watch the games and actually hear the commentary, but instead we couldn't even hear ourselves talk, let alone a game. The food that came out looked amazing. The baseball and golf games looked cool. Hopefully this place schedules more people on Sunday or someone doesn't call out. read more

My friend and I went in a couple of weeks ago after seeing this place on IG to scope it out. Seems like a good spot to put this place, good amount of parking. Went in, greeted by the hostess who said we could look around. It was a very busy Saturday, with a cornhole tournament going on and multiple parties play the virtual golf, basketball and baseball cage. The TVs were just average size for a sports bar and they definitely hyped up how it looked in the IG reels, imo. We decided to come back another day but got a quote for the baseball cage... wow. Priced super high. There should be an affordable price point for small parties for folks who only want to do a few pitches during down time. While there, met the very nice owner who suggested the bacon wrapped shrimp, which we kept in mind for our follow up visit. Fast forward to 2/23, we decided to pay an actual sit down visit. We went to sit at the bar and asked the bartender if we could watch a specific game. He said yes but then proceeded to take his time to initiate the request, almost seemed annoyed. We placed an order for the bacon wrapped shrimp and a chicken Caesar salad, which both came out pretty fast since it wasn't very busy. The bacon wrapped shrimp was very VERY underwhelming at the price tag of $24! The bacon was not fully wrapped and falling off the shrimp and not crispy, lying on a bed of lukewarm vodka sauce, barely with any glaze on top. It would have been sooo easy to elevate this dish to match the price point but we felt truly ripped off. The Caesar salad was also a joke. The "romaine" lettuce was obviously just the bottom half of the romaine heart and was completely white/very light green, no green lettuce at all! $8 for a barely cut piece or grilled chicken plus having to ask for silverware when there's no one sitting at the bar AND there's a food runner? Really baffling to not anticipate guests needs, especially when it is slow. We didn't even finish watching our game because we were disappointed by our food ($50 for a salad and app, no drinks... hmmm). I love to support local and I hope they work out their kinks but my complaints are just restaurant basics. Probably would give it another try with a group but our experience, sadly, wasn't great. read more

We had a great birthday party The Varsity Club. It was our first time there, and the reservation and check-in process went smoothly. When we walked in, we immediately noticed that it was not only a great place to play a game, but also a great place to watch a game! There's a great bar and screens throughout. There were also so many options for activities. We had reservations for a golf bay, but we saw a race simulator, batting cages and more. We'll be back for sure. read more

Bestie and I walked down to Varsity Club after hittin our favorite brewery Poseidon. We walked in at 10pm on FRIDAY and the place was dark, tables were all put up and the first thing we are told is only drinks NO food. What a shame, we came here for some yummy food and drinks and walked out. This place has so much potential. I'd rather just go to Lazy Dog. If your open until 11pm that means you don't start CLOSING at 10. ‍ read more

This place is awesome. Great service and the food is phenomenal. Very nice atmosphere with lots of televisions for sports watching. They also have batting cages and golf simulators. They are having a special corned beef sandwich for St. Patrick's Day, this should be on the every day menu. You hear me Tony? read more

First time at The Varsity Club. The place was packed for a Pokémon event. Sarah was incredible! She was running the bar like a one-woman show. Fast, friendly, calm under pressure, and somehow still making people feel welcomed while being completely slammed. It's not easy to keep that kind of composure when you're clearly carrying the weight of the room. She made our first visit a good one. What was surprising, though, was the lack of visible management support on such a busy day. When you host an event that fills the place wall to wall, you'd think leadership would be present... It's always interesting to see how businesses choose to show up for their staff. Thankfully Sarah showed up for everyone. We'll be back, and hopefully next time she'll have the backup she deserves. read more

Before A critique, I need to say that the service was wonderful and the concept of the restaurant is so cool. The golf simulation was fun. However, food was just okay, although the ranch was absolutely delicious! I was disappointed to pay almost 19$ for a chicken tenders plate that included 3 EXTREMELY small tenders, with the remaining entree all fries. It felt like a kids meal with a ton of fries. I think there needs to be at least 5 if they are that small for the price. read more

Our first time here !! I didn't know this place existed ! I was invited to play bingo with a couple friends . It was a Tuesday . We got there and the person in front greeted us very nicely, he took us on a tour around the whole place . It's beautiful and fun . They have pool tables , batting cages , lots more . We sat down ordered food . Our waitress was not a friendly person . She seemed irritated when I told her she got my order wrong . Also she never came to ask us if we needs another drink . We ordered a side salad a Philly cheese steak sandwich and a couple beers . The sweet potato fries were delicious , the sandwich had no flavor . The salad was ok . Prices were pretty high The tables had little lights ! That was my favorite part ! read more

I never knew this place existed until our Christmas party for our company. We went inside there and at first it's kind of deceiving because you don't realize that there's a whole back section and there's also virtual games that you can play. The food was OK. I got fish and chips and frankly it was not very good but I heard that hamburgers hotdog are really good there But when we went to the back, we had a chance to play basketball ping-pong darts pool and cornhole plenty of dude to have some fun. read more

I came here after a round of golf expecting a decent spot to watch the Lakers playoff game and the Dodgers--pretty basic ask, right? Instead, I walked into a place blasting DJ music so loud it was impossible to even hold a conversation, let alone actually follow the games. When I asked the staff to put the game audio on, I was told they had "no control," which honestly just sounds like an excuse. It made zero sense--every single person there was clearly watching the games, not one person was there for the DJ, and definitely no one was dancing. There were maybe eight people total, and I watched more people leave than stay because of how ridiculous the situation was. I ended up having to leave and go to a pizza place just to watch the rest of the games like a normal person. If you're going to call yourself a place to watch sports, at least act like it. This was beyond frustrating. read more

This is kind of a new type of place. It's abpsports bar with the requisite ginormous TVs playin events, but also virtual games you play. There is baseball with real bat and ball that the batter hits into a virtual ball park, a similar game of golf and pickle ball, These are priced out at $100/hour with a half hour minimum, extra for more than 4 people. There is a basketball 1/2 court, a pool table .This appeared pretty kfriendly, for a bar. Lots of things to do. We will keep this in mind for a family adventure We were there for happy hour, I think it was a dollar or two off regular prices. We got the Margarita Pizza, very thin crust, topping a bit uneven, we have one slice with nothing but tomato sauce. I was a bit apprehensive about a ceasar salad, but they have steppped up their game. It was great except I am one of sixteen women is California who'd prefer the Salad be tossed in the kitchen, here it was on the side but the bowl was big enough to do it at the table. Enough to share. The food is a step up from bar food. It is a big airy room and can get loud.""" FOR WOMNEN ONLY: It is across from golf course. Were I a single female I might hang out here because this place is chock full of men. By themselves, with a big group. All shapes, sizes, and colors. If you can't find a guy here you like you are too darn picky. Go in to watch a game with a little bit a knowledge and you have a conversation starter. read more

After a round at Buenaventura, a cold beer was needed. Walked literally across the street to the Varsity Club, and was quite pleasantly surprised! First, the place was vibrant, and full. Great people watching. There is a batting cage, and a golf simulator, so if you're craving some activity, it's there. Plenty of TV's for watching sports, the food was decent, and the beer was cold. I am definitely looking forward to a return. read more

This place is great!! The workers are extremely friendly, the drinks were great and you knew there was alcohol in them. in the back room they have basketball and a lot of others games. in the front room, they have some sort of golf cage, i'm not sure exactly what it was but it's golf. Bingo was SO much fun! i highly recommend this place, you can bring the family, friends or just kick back at the bar. It's a place to enjoy and leave the troubles outside the door. Go and have some fun!! Oh the video is just one of the games they played at bingo. read more

We just celebrated a milestone birthday at the Varsity Club and we had a blast! This is such a fun spot to host a large group. It offers a great room with pool tables, cornhole boards, a ping pong table, giant jenga, a basketball court and plenty of TVs. I had a seamless experience planning, decorating and executing because the staff was so helpful and accommodating. We'll definitely be back! 10/10 read more

Pros: Good beer and spirit selections; outstanding and attentive staff; lively environment; clean & modern decor; various simulators for interactive sports; loads of TVs carrying various sports; pint of beer ~$9 Cons: Loud, actually LOUD!!! You'll notice the overwhelming din the moment you walk in. Overall: I went in on a Friday at 5:20pm for a beer with about 60 other patrons already in-house. The moment I walked through the door I felt like I was walking into a concert venue. I cannot imagine how loud this place would be with a full house, but I feel bad for the employees. Sound baffling would be a welcome addition. I'll return for a second try, but I would consider Cronies, Poseidon, or one of the other local brewpubs before this one unless you want your ears ringing. read more

Cool spot. Food was good. Fun for small/medium sized groups. Have virtual baseball and other sports while you can eat and hang out.

I want to like this place as a regukar go to for sporting events but I can't. When they are packed like they were last night, they can't handle it. Our server only cane by once to take our order then we never saw her again but she was right at our side when it came to oay the bill. The food is meh for the price point and there are no free refills for sodas for the kiddos (which we were not aware of until the bill came). Too bad...this place could be something but it falls way flat. read more

We love this place, great location to watch sports they have plenty of tv's nice selection of beers, wine and they have a full bar to enjoy your favorite cocktail. For food we had wings, fish and chips, and a cheese burger all delicious! They have pool tables and simulators to play golf, football, soccer, baseball etc..... The service is very welcoming and they have live music on some nights and there's plenty of room to hold a special occasion. Totally recommend this place! read more

I have to say that the owner of this establishment is absolutely one of the most rude people I have ever encountered. It was crowded, but her attitude and her mightier than thou persona was ridiculous. Service was spotty. Had to order drinks and food at bar and hope it would get delivered. That did get better later in the evening. People who got food said it was acceptable. The marg I got was good. Band they had was great (which is the reason we went). I'd think two ice about visiting again. read more

Don't review much. But be FAIR WARNED!!!!!!!!!! Place is great. Seemed to be short staffed on Saturday afternoon for the bills vs Broncos game. Met about 20 friends there. 30 mins to get 1 beer. And 10 minutes later my water came. (30 minutes to make water I guess.) Pizza was OK. Need to be cooked a little longer. Wings good, beer good. $4 for a Coke! $4 for a refill of Coke? Come 'on. $4 for refill of Coke? $1.50 hotdog and drink at you know where..... free REFILLS too!! My buddy came an 1/2 hour later same thing. 40 mins for 1 beer. Only 1 bartender. Total: $60 for 2 beers 2 cokes and a pizza that I could have got at Costco. Great place..... but wait time is crazy and $4 for a refill of soda! My party of 20 and all their friends of the party will probably look for another place next time. Please get better and DON'T CHARGE for my designated drivers refill of SODA! When it's properly $0.10 to make a coke. 1st time here. Love to come back.... But not if I have to wait 40 minutes for a drink. The positive reviews on Yelp were probably from the management. Don't see how they have so many positive...... what am I missing...... read more

Very fun space. Food was good but the environment with all of the simulators and games elevates the experience. What a gem of a place. Cross between batting cages with a bar and a cool LA sports bar vibe. Staff was very cool and interactive.

The atmosphere is awesome. Make sure you get your I. D. back. Sometimes you get lost in the moment and forget completely.

We decided to come out and give this new spot a try. Arrived early for our time on the golf cage, and the greeting was super nice. When it was our time to go in, 2:15pm, we were escorted to our location and told we would have a server to get drinks and food going. We had done a 1 hour reservation. Our server showed up for the first time 35 minutes into the session. It was pointless to get any food or drinks going at this point. When we told her we were going to not place an order because our time was almost up, she said we could just take it to a table later if we wanted. The entire purpose is to have food and drinks going while your doing the activity. There is also soo many kids running around, and grabbing items from the cages. We had a soccer ball and some other stuff set up for us to use, but the kids would just come and grab them from the baskets. They need to have a better system from kids grabbing the equipment we are renting for the hour. When our time was up the server came up and said we had one minute and we had to leave, which was understandable, but she was pretty rude. Overall, probably will not be returning. read more
