We had so much fun here! We came last Sunday for the first time. We bought one lane for 6 people…read morefor one hour ($60), six pairs of shoes ($5 each) and two people needed socks ($5 each). XL Lanes is located at the south end of fashion fair mall. You don't have to actually enter the mall to get to it. We had no trouble finding parking. You can take the stairs to go down to XL or wait for the little elevator. Inside, the cashier is to your right with good large signage as to prices etc. to the left are pool tables and seating area and beyond that, arcade games and the bowling lanes. We attempted to place an order at the bar but since we were bowling, we needed to order through a server. I wish I'd remembered his name but our server was GREAT, very attentive and swift with everything. I'm looking forward to going back

I didn't know what to expect since it's located inside the mall. Upon walking in I was surprised…read morewith how big the place is. They have bowling, lots of arcade games and pool. On Mondays and Tuesdays I believe they have a 5 dollar special. Each game is 5 dollars and shoe rentals are 5 dollars. A great price in my opinion and it allows you to pick more games if you want. They have bowling ramps and bumbers for the kids. My boys are little and they had a blast. They have food too. Our waitress was extremely kind and very helpful. We ordered nachos and chicken tenders with fries. Pretty basic food but really good and fresh. My boys devoured it all. A great place for family fun.

We made a reservation for the Sip & Go experience. The bartender was friendly and made sure to…read morecheck on us not too frequently but often enough. Inside was so much smaller than I expected but the decor and music made it really chill and intimate in a comfortable way. We had four drinks in total and I'll review them below: -Kola Fashioned: had a strong cardamom flavor but the bartender warned us of that. Did not reflect the flavor of a typical old fashioned, but it was spiced, crisp, and refreshing. -Espresso Martini: honestly this could have had alcohol in it, it was so similar to other espresso martinis I've had. I was shocked by how creamy it tasted considering it was a very dark espresso martini. -Chili Margarita: really didn't taste anything like a margarita. It was carbonated, light, and refreshing. The Tajín rim was my favorite part of it and I didn't really get any spice in the drink. -Mint Mojito (Calme): this was hands down the best mint mojito I've ever had. I will go back purely for this drink.

You have to reserve a spot since the location is small and cozy but worth it. Our waitress provided great service and explained the menu. The drinks were so good. And the location is so cool. We were sat in the corner where there were multiple vintage props including a record player. It's a hip spot located in the tower district. My husband and I just took our time and talked with no rush as we savored our drinks. Definitely a spot I would keep going to if I was in the area!

Incredible board game library, they have many games that are out of print and/or very hard to find…read more Staff and owner are all lovely people that go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and included. Even the way that board game day passes are tracked is down in a thoughtful and respectful manner: when you pay for a play pass you're given a visitor style sticker with the date in either red or black. Color lets you silently signal if you're open to strangers joining your game table or if you'd rather keep your game group closed for that particular day etc. date and sticker lets the staff unobtrusively check that they're keeping play area usage to paying customers. Great concept and very friendly play space. Came during their weekly board game league and had a lot of fun with my loved ones. Tried a couple of their hard seltzers / beer options and enjoyed both, would highly recommend the passion fruit summer fox to anyone wanting liquid dessert, very tasty drink. Rotating menu and beer selection has good variety and supports local breweries :) Will have to check it out on cribbage night next (Wednesdays if I recall correctly). Apparently that's another active event night that attracts patrons of lots of ages and generations, which is also kinda fun for making friends while out on the town with older parents. Love what Wilson and the staff have done with the space.

I feel like they have double the amount of claw machines now. Their grand reopening was a family fun filled day. We got there a little early and got free plushies. Then depending on how much you spent you got raffle tickets to try and win some awesome prizes. This place sure knows how to make a bang. They gave away over 30 prizes. Ranging from plushies, Pokemon cards, skull pandas and labubu. I was actually the winner of a skull panda. They even had a huge labubu there to take pics with. All the workers were really kind. They even moved some plushies around to help us win. My boys love this place and can't wait to go back.

We live about 53 minutes away and planned to celebrate my son's birthday here. During our first visit, we arrived around 6ish p.m. only to be told they were closing early at 7:30 p.m. for "maintenance." This was never communicated beforehand, so we made a nearly one-hour drive for nothing. One of the young managers tried to be accommodating, and I appreciated his effort, but the overall experience was still disappointing. We decided to give them a second chance, hoping the first visit was just a one-time issue. Unfortunately, the second experience was even worse. We were given incorrect and conflicting information by an employee, and management did not provide clear or consistent answers either. It was obvious there was a lack of communication and training among the staff. The most frustrating part is that we made another 53-minute drive because we trusted the information we were given, only to have our time wasted again. When families are spending their time and money especially for a child's birthday they deserve accurate information and reliable customer service. Sadly, that was not our experience. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and invests in better employee training and communication so other families don't go through the same frustration we did.
