It is kind of a miniature Dave and Busters with a lot of mechanical type games, some video games, and a big carousel in the middle. We played some air hockey, skeet ball, and a few "drop the claw to grab a prize" games. One of the staff members was restocking an identical machine that we were playing next to us and he gave us a wink and said he'd leave a few items in an easy position which was nice of him. Of course we took advantage of his kindness and nabbed a few small stuffed animals. To play the games, you put cash or a credit card into the token machine and get a plastic token card to use with the various games. I just put in $20 and it was a fun way to kill 20 minutes.

I stopped by this Lakewood location of Round1 on my incomplete tour of the Round1s in LA. I have to…read moresay, going shortly after they opened on a weekday was quite peaceful and lonely. However, most employees were cleaning in some way which was a good sign. It did feel a little more fresh and clean at this location than other ones. The entrance was interesting because I'm used to just entering the doors and immediately being inside the arcade, but you have to enter through the dilapidated Lakewood Center mall first, and then take escalators up to Round1. It's also a little hectic coming here, because it's right next to Costco. There were an adequate amount of machines, but it definitely seemed smaller than the other locations I visited in LA. However, the skill games and payout rates were very reasonable and fair, and I made out quite well! I won my first Getter Spin game here because the speed was pretty good. You do have to cherry pick a bit, as some of the popular or newer prizes were behind cheese wheels.

WORST ROUND1 EVER! Terrible customer service. If the security screening at the entrance doesn't…read moreturn you away, the staff certainly will. My husband played one of their machines and got a bonus of 400+ tickets, but then the machine broke down. We called a staff member to help us. She said that she was sorry the machine broke down and would call a mechanic to fix it and offered to give us back our credits. But this was a bonus with 400+ tickets! Those aren't easy to get! But she kept repeating the same information again and could only give us credits and not our tickets! We even asked to speak to the manager about this, she said that she would tell her manager about it! She told us that once the mechanic fixed the machine, the tickets would go to our card, but later when we saw that the machine was fixed, we did not see the tickets in our card afterwards! That woman lied to us and didn't even give us back our credits or tickets for the game despite how hard my husband tried to get that bonus! This is unacceptable! And she wasn't the worst one yet! We played another game and got some tickets to redeem a prize about 4000 tickets. But when we tried to redeem it at the counter, apparently, it counted as a high ticket prize so they had to get their manager to review the transaction and made us sign a form. Their manager was practically scrutinizing our game history like it was some kind of ledger and said that she wanted to call the previous Round1 we were at because she wanted to 'verify' whether we played those games and got those bonuses at the other Round1 which was completely unnecessary for such a small prize. It wasn't until 30 minutes later that she finally finished her call and let us redeem the prize but her tone was anything but apologetic for all the trouble she caused us. We went there to have fun. Not to be treated as criminals! Although she didn't say it outright, she was subtly accusing us of being cheaters or hacking into their system to earn tickets which is a blatant accusation. If we had such skills would we bother using them at an arcade? We're not professional hackers! Just simple arcade gamers! It was just the two of us redeeming a prize so it didn't bother us too much, but if we had a child and they did the same thing to our child who wanted a big prize but was denied the prize in spite of spending so much money trying to earn enough tickets to get the big prize when we could have easily just outright bought the prize elsewhere with less money I would have been furious and would not stand for it. My husband and I are never visiting this location ever again!

My dog was also welcomed and loved by the staff and patrons. I even struck up a few fun conversations with others at the bar. Unfortunately, things took a turn during the second bartender's shift. She was inattentive and spent most of her time on her phone. Despite raising my hand a few times, I couldn't get her attention to order another drink. To make matters worse, she actively served others sitting at the bar while continuing to ignore me. While the first bartender made a great impression, the change in service left me disappointed. I did meet a new friend, which was a highlight, but now I know to enjoy my time there early and head out when the second shift starts.

The Louisiana nugget was spicier than the regular nugget. I got Broccoli cheddar soup. It was pretty creamy. I was here at 1:20 pm for my nephew's birthday party. We were in a private room. The table had around 30 chairs I think so it was a tight fit. We were moved to the general area at 2:45 pm. Employees got our plates and utensils when we were finished eating. They had gloves on. There was a curtain dividing the room from the other room so they can be combined. One gripe I had was there were no soup bowls available when I checked the buffet area so I used my dad's.

This was our first time, and we skipped the reading materials and just learned as we went, it worked out fine. We arrived on a Sunday around 4:30 PM and it wasn't busy. One thing to note: the Super Track tends to have a much longer wait than the others. Fair warning: there's a lot of exhaust. It's heaviest around the Super Track. While it's noticeable throughout the facility, the waiting areas for the other tracks felt better ventilated. I still felt like I'd chain smoked just by being there. The karts are clearly well used but in good condition. The staff are friendly, young, and clearly into go-karting (I wouldn't be surprised if they take laps themselves on breaks). They're attentive about safety without being so strict that it kills the fun. Overall, a solid four star experience.

The parking lot is a bit small behind the brewery, but there is plenty of parking throughout the neighborhood and surrounding streets. Like other breweries in the area, this one is pretty popular, so it can get busy and you might have to wait for a table or area to enjoy your beer. The back room/distillery of the brewery is filled with standing tables to chill and possibly play a game from the collection they have. Plus, there is a wall of pinballs, which is pretty popular. Such a fun and chill brewery, so definitely will be back. Plus, the beer is AMAZING!

Midsummer Scream was, well, a scream in so many ways! 2026 was their 10th year and they went all…read moreout to celebrate (as did us)! Wifey and I splurged on Gold Bat Passes this year and if you think it doesn't make a difference - it really does! With the convention getting bigger and bigger each year, Gold Bat is the way to go so you can see everything and not get FOMO. It comes with admittance for the entire weekend, priority entrance for Friday night, entrance an hour early on Saturday and Sunday, entrance to the Saturday night after-party, and priority entrance for panels and mazes. We booked a room at the hotel next door for the weekend so we got to come/go to drop off goodies when our hands got full. Speaking of which, there are so many vendors in all corners of the convention center that sell anything/everything Halloween and horror related. You're going to want to bring a bag, but if you don't they also pass out plenty of free tote bags (we got 6 just walking around!). Celebrities are aplenty taking photos and autographing stuff for fans. They can get a bit pricey, but if you're a fan it's hard not to convince yourself to splurge. It's the 30th year anniversary of Scream, so they had plenty of actors (and Marco Beltrami) appear. We took a picture with Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard (both of which couldn't have been nicer). Lots of Ghostface fans in costumes and masks! There are food vendors inside as well, but they're so pricey that you might as well go outside and walk to a nearby restaurant (unless you're super hangry and need an emergency fix). For drinks we had to go with our reliable Horror Vibes Coffee and then topped it off with sweet treats from Deadly Sweet (they consistently had one of the longest lines each day but their cookies are to die for!). The Hall of Shadows is their dark hall filled with haunted attractions/mazes by home haunters and professionals alike. Some experiences are shorter than others, but it hits the spot until proper spooky season in October (though every season is spooky season if you got the horror within you). There's a lot of fog machines so watch your step! This is really one of the better Gold Bat perks - instead of waiting in the General Admission line, you get your own shorter line and basically walk right to the front. We walked right on in for the majority of the mazes! There's an after-party on Saturday night that we were interested in, so we checked it out since we didn't have to pay extra for it. It was in the main ballroom with photo ops on the sides and tables/chairs surrounding the huge dance floor. The energy was kind of buns though - it took a long while for the dancing to fully swing into motion. Lots of lurkers staring from the sides and standing on the dance floor so heavy middle school vibes. Naturally a lot of fans had been there all day so the stank was overwhelming! The after-party also comes with a separate karaoke room and a screening room for a horror movie. If you're a horror/Halloween lover and haven't been to Midsummer Scream - for shame! It's so much fun with so many photo ops around, so much memorabilia/merch, so many free/discounted tickets for other events like Haunted Hayride, and so many fans united in spookiness. If you're thinking about going, follow them on social media and scoop up the Gold Bats as soon as they're available because they'll sell out quick. We can't wait to come back and make this a yearly tradition! We're already 2 years down and we found out that this is the last year Midsummer Scream will be in Long Beach. They have officially grown so much that in 2027 they're moving to Anaheim! We were there for the end of an era, and we'll be there for the beginning of the next!

I have always wanted to go to this convention/expo since I am a spooky girl. As a birthday gift, my…read morefiancé gifted me a pass for both of us this past Saturday. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the line was so long that it took us at least an hour and a half to enter the actual event. It was well worth the wait, and surprisingly, it went by fast, although we got sunburnt. I highly recommend investing in the VIP pass to avoid the long lines because this keeps getting busier each year. The convention itself is pretty cool, especially if you are a fan of everything spooky. You can find unique merch from small businesses such as Backstitch Bruja, Spooksieboo, DIY Light Guy, Bob Gurr, and Black Mast. Plus, there are many event attendees dressed as your favorite monster or whatever your little dark heart desires. Saw many cool costumes, and I was able to capture some in my photos. Convention parking is throughout the convention area in adjacent lots, and I paid $30 to park and walked over to the convention. I suggest trying to get an Uber if you do not want to deal with the traffic getting into a lot. You will be paying around the same amount or possibly more during peak times. There are also food trucks throughout the expo and snacks to enjoy while shopping, browsing, and having fun. In the Hall of Shadows, there are many mazes and photo ops to enjoy. Not too spooky, but you can get a feel of how Universal Horror Nights or Knott's Scary Farm is. So much fun! There are lots of panels, celebrity signings, Casa de Calaveras, and a Black Cat Lounge, but some lines were long, so I didn't get to experience them except for the Casa de Calaveras, which was pretty cool. Can't wait for next year's event, and I will for sure be purchasing the VIP pass to be able to experience more and get more out of my pass. Such a fun and spooky day!
