Note this is a review for the tiki pop-ip: the Lost Outpost. As a tiki enthusiast, this place was…read moreon my radar. Also, the social media marketing ads hit the right demographic. Good job guys. The place is easy to find. Parking lot is massive. I saw the tiki themed patio before the entrance, but it was empty so we proceeded inside. We walked in and were mesmerized. The decor is on point. Like Disney level (and I found out why later in the evening). No detail was left out. I could visit ten more times and would find new areas and details I missed. The interior design is simply next level. Seating choices and plentiful. From couches to tables to patio, you're covered. So the menu... Many tiki drinks to choose from, but we went with classics. The painkiller and mai tai were outstanding. No fake coconut taste and good quality runs. The zombie was a little off for me due to the juices I think. Love that they have a clear partnership with Kōloa rums from Hawaii. I really enjoy these rums! I researched food before arriving and saw there are no vegan options, so we didn't eat. Plenty of things for omnivores though. Kayla, our server, was so nice. She checked in frequently. So did the other waitress. They work as a team, so doubly great service. It was trivia night on Thursday. This wrapped up and the place cleared out. There is a patio with a fanciest animatronic volcano I have ever seen. Shows are at 9 and 9:45. Check out the videos of it. In between all of this, there are tropical birds singing, conversing and entertaining you from above. There's a fireplace place, a TV, axe throwing as well. So much fun to be had. As the last few stragglers in the place, we received the best gift from Gary, the owner. He offered to show us around. Gary and his son Cody have brought their visions to life. They road trip to pick up props and decor. They handcraft much of the statues and scenes in the place. Cody loves Disney (who doesn't) and leans into the immersive experience. The sky is the limit here. Most of the year is dedicated to the haunted house and Christmas wonderland. I cannot wait to visit these attractions. Well done gentlemen!

This is a very cool local spot. We went with a group, and we all enjoyed it. There are semi-private…read morerooms and a main dining room type area. Various comfortable seating throughout and on the patio too. Super clean place. Obviously well managed. It's our first time here. I understand they recently remodeled. Walk around and explore the place. They've done a great job with the layout and decorations / artifacts. The menu is appetizers, tacos, and pizza. We all tried a little of everything. It was all delicious. Do check out their speciality drink menu. Several unique offerings. Service was very good and friendly too. Stop by and check it out. You'll be glad you did. Highly recommended.

I came to Detroit Duckpin with several friends for my birthday. It was nice to have a lot of space…read morebecause it wasn't busy in the middle of the week. It is located in the basement of the Cambria Hotel. The guy up front was accommodating to wait until more of my group showed up to start the time on a two hour bowling reservation. The lane had a few minor mechanical issues that were resolved when we asked for assistance. Just talk to a worker if there is a problem with not getting your full amount of reservation time. I can't say what problems may be presented at a busier time though. The food tastes good. I liked the garlic parmesan wings and burrata truffle pizza. It's a little pricey. The pizza and wings were enough for 2 people, 3 max. One of the workers told me that typically it isn't allowed to bring food in because I had a birthday cake. I can understand banning alcohol or a pizza from another restaurant, but there should be an exception for a celebratory cake. There was a lot of metered parking around Cambria Hotel and I found a spot right across the front entrance. Overall, it's a great hangout spot in downtown Detroit for food, drinks, and games. Duckpin shares space with Five Iron Golf so along with bowling you can also reserve time for golf simulators.

We have been wanting to go to this place for quite some time but just never stopped in, we finally did. It was definitely really quiet which I actually loved, it was very spacious and the bar seating was really cool, the ambience I'm sure is busier than this but we came in on a Sunday afternoon. They had an outside patio with nice wicker seating and they had those fire pit tables. They had a lot of TV's for all the sporting events. This place had everything a sports fan would want or just someone who wants a great drink and good food. We didn't order dinner we just ordered some appetizers, I ordered fried Pickles and she ordered Corned Beef Egg Rolls. The fried pickles were really good, I don't like the spears cause I feel like it's too much pickle so when I saw the pickle rings I was ecstatic and they were really good and then the Corned Beef Egg Rolls were amazing! My wife had a Margarita and she said it was one of the best margaritas in town she has had (and we check out alot of bar and grills). This place is amazing and it's literally a 5 minute drive from the house. We will be coming back here on August 1st for the Grand Opening of Yuengling Beer.

Reservations are recommended for darts or axe throwing. In general, if you're just trying to come here for some drinks and food (there's a food truck inside that has pizza, fries, and some other small items), that's okay too! The dart boards we used were really cool! Lots of games to play, they're very accurate, and the darts are sharp enough to stick into the board.

From Retro Bliss to Corporate Miss - 1Up's New Management Hits Rock Bottom…read more.. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. 1Up Arcade Bar, once my go-to haven for arcade nostalgia and friendly vibes, has devolved into a shell of its former self. Under the new management, the experience has gone from retro joy to something resembling a garish corporate money pit. If you're looking to relive the good old days of arcade glory, consider this your neon-lit warning sign to stay far, far away. First off, the bartenders. Remember last year when 1Up's bartenders were warm, cheerful, and chatty, making you feel like you were part of the family? Well, those days are deader than my high score on Pac-Man. The new bartenders treat you with the exact enthusiasm you'd expect from someone waiting at the DMV. Ordering a drink here feels like you've personally interrupted their day--and heaven forbid you ask any questions about the menu. Smiles? Gone. Friendly banter? Vanished. You're left standing there with your overpriced, uninspired drink wondering if you've wandered into a soulless high-end cocktail bar by mistake. Ah, the drinks. Once playful and creative masterpieces that added to 1Up's charm, they've been replaced with pretentious, unimaginative concoctions that scream, "We're fancy now; please empty your wallet." No fun, no spirit (pun intended), just overpriced disappointments. At their current price point, I half expected the drink to come with complimentary resentment from the staff. And don't get me started on the arcade machines. Gone are the iconic retro classics that made me feel like I'd stepped back into the golden age of arcades. Instead, the place is now stuffed with bright, flashy, wallet-draining horrors you'd find at a Dave and Buster's. What happened to the charm? The authenticity? Now it's just a playground for toddlers with no attention spans and those who value flashing lights over actual gameplay. Speaking of, if you're a Gen Z-er armed with your parents' credit card and an inability to go three seconds without dopamine overload, this place might actually be a dream come true for you. The rest of us? Not so much. Look, 1Up Arcade Bar used to be a gem, but now it feels like a soulless cash grab. Don't come here hoping for a genuine arcade bar experience because you'll leave disappointed--and poorer. Save your time, save your money, and spare yourself the heartbreak of seeing what this place has become. RIP, old 1Up. You are sorely missed.

I choose the Mexico buffet spread and everything tasted homemade- guacamole, refried beans, moist chicken fajitas, tender steak fajita, portobello mushroom fajita and awesome queso! The fowling was a lot of fun. The kids really got a kick out of it. The darts were a lot of fun too. We read up the rules and it was pretty challenging. We all laughed and oohed and aaaahed at everyone's luck or loss. I plan to bring my work group here for a Team Building event next!

While maybe fun for a big group, for a couple it was more just chasing a foot ball. Attempted to get a drink at the bar before we started, waited and waited and waited.
