I read this glowing review in the Indy, so took the wife-unit there. I belong to a group who visit…read moredive and other bars weekly, and this place is the worst I've ever seen. Had to walk through a phalanx of smokers to get in to bar, it was pretty empty for a Saturday evening. All but one of the tables were little "rounds" pushed together. Found a place to sit, waited so long that we wondered if we were expected to go to the bar to order. Server finally shuffled over, we asked for menus. The Indy review went on about the wonderful cocktails made from barrel-aged spirits, but there was no cocktail menu, just a beer list. The food list was sparse, at best, although it did list some pulled pork tacos the Indy raved about. We were planning to stick it out a bit longer, but server seemed in no hurry to get back to us and finally our patience ran out and we left, walking through a different phalanx of smokers. I suggest that you find a better dive if you are in the mood and for goodness sake, don't believe food reviews in the Indy! I did notice that the good yelp reviews were from 2018 and 2019, the negative ones from 2020.

We stopped by The Control Room during happy hour to check it out, but it just wasn't quite what we…read morewere looking for. The space has the feel of a typical arcade bar, with plenty of arcade games and a good setup for hanging out with friends. However, the bar itself was pretty quiet during our visit, and one thing that surprised us was that every arcade game cost $1 per play. In my opinion, that felt a little expensive, especially if you're planning to spend much time gaming. We ended up leaving without ordering any food or drinks, so I can't speak to that side of the experience. From what we saw, it could be a fun place to spend an evening eating, drinking, and playing games, but it didn't quite win us over. It may be a better fit for others, but based on our visit, we decided to head elsewhere.

Good food, fun atmosphere, friendly staff and a lot to do…read more This doesn't deserve to be rated as high as it is for the food. Don't get me wrong the food is good, but it is standard bar fare and pizza. The cost is reasonable as well but the food alone isn't going to draw me back. The entertainment is the highlight here. Being able to play games, pool, pinball, and have a drink is the real draw. The decent food and good drinks at a reasonable price is what will bring me back. The food came out quick, the staff was friendly. You can order on your phone through a QR code at the table or wait for a server to come with menus. Overall a great place to hang and get a bite if you are in the mood for the basics.

As of tonight, Nov 7, 2025, I will not go back. Of lately I would go there after bowling to play soft tip/online darts, but when I went there tonight they had a poker table setup in the corner of the room, blocking 3 steel tip boards and 3 electronic boards. Not to mention this is the third or forth time I've seen either a grade school or junior high school kid in there after 10 pm. It seems they have driven out all the dart players. If that's what they want that's fine, I hope whoever owns those soft tip/electronic boards pulls them out and puts them somewhere that's not gonna put poker tables in front of them. If you do, please tell me where so I go there to play darts. Thanks.

We ordered the Mango Cooler and the Daisy Dukes, and both were really good. It was pretty packed when we went, so we ended up sitting at the bar. I think it's a fun spot to go with your girlfriend for a drink or two. The only downside was that it kind of smelled musty inside when we were there. Overall, I think it's definitely a place worth trying at least once.

I tried to explain to her that we had to drive a ways to get to her establishment and we had money to spend. There were other people in the bar too. The owner started cursing and directing personal insults. She even accused me of breaking my girlfriend's cue on her pool table.(false) I tried to explain that I would not be back and the owner shouted "good". The bar owner repeatedly accused us of having arrived at 1 am and expecting her to serve us. I guess we were guilty as charged. What bar closes before 1 am on a Saturday? I would not recommend this establishment to anyone due to the service. Also, The Far Side Lounge closes early almost every night of the week, even on weekends. My pool team was going to start practicing at the Far Side on Sundays. We have decided not to do business at this establishment in the future.
