We had food and beverages , and the bill was $56. I added a $10 tip. My account showed a charge for $66, which was accurate, but a second charge was added for $63.36. This was clearly an effort to cheat me out of extra money. There are crooks working behind the bar, so you should be on guard. Do not go to this train wreck of a joint. I have filed a protest with my bank and I await a reimbursement of the second charge.

The blue and amber colored options were my favorites; the yellow less so. They had a variety of beer and cocktail selections. The space itself, was relatively open with four TV screens showcasing different gaming systems. If gaming systems aren't your thing, there were also board games and arcade style games. The staff was friendly and informed me that that they host different game nights, every day of the week. The prices were on bar with other bars in the area. You'll have to find street or deck parking -- both cost, depending on the time of day. Overall, a pretty cool experience with one of the first e-sports bars in the triangle area. Will definitely come back to check out the other drinks and other gaming systems.

Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

The Baxter had a solid beer selection, though the game selection felt a bit limited compared to other barcades. We mostly stuck to pinball, then played a few rounds of pool (the table could use a little TLC). Overall, it was a fun stop and worth checking out, even if it wouldn't be my first pick for a barcade.

They had plenty of kid size balls weighing 6 pounds each and the lanes were set up with bumpers for us. We played three games and loved it. The bowling alley is clean and organized and the staff was helpful. The location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. Only criticism - they charged me $89.00 for two of us versus the special rate. I made the error of not getting a receipt but since I take pictures for Yelp, I was able to send a picture of the lane we were on along with the time and date there and give them enough details where they reimbursed me the difference. Lesson learned - check the total charged and get a receipt

We sat inside but there was plenty of outdoor space that would be perfect on a beautiful day. They also constantly have food trucks and the schedule is listed on their website. The interior vibe is so fun and fresh. And it is absolutely reflected in their cider. I don't think there was one that I didn't like. There were definitely some I liked more than other but everything was quite tasty. I tried the Off Main, Upside Down, and Sweet Carolina. I should have gotten some cans or growlers to take home but will try to do that next time. I want to come back to try the Bludacris! Thanks to the bartenders for being so knowledgeable and friendly.

Also, they are not stingy with their sampling - which is so cool. They have a game room off to the right of the entrance for those who wish to get their game-on. Large screens TV's are available for your perusal as well. Very comfortable place with a wide range of seating to relax on as you sip your libations. I'll be back! #bullcitydrm

Synopsis - What an amazing place to kart, arcade, enjoy good games, and eat good food!…read more Went to RushHour for a few hours with some good friends. Started off ordering some food which comes pretty quickly at a decent value for your money. Food was surprisingly good for a non-restaurant! They have plenty to offer from drinks to full meals. Onto the games. Plethora of games to choose from, certainly something for everyone. There are different packages that offer different amounts of tokens for games--all depends on what you're there for. For us, the real attraction was karting. It was everything you could want for in karting. We went during the week so it wasn't overly busy outside of a camp with kids. Our wait times were not bad at all. They give you some basic instructions, rules, safety brief, and then throw you to the wolves. Was an amazing time. 5 Karting Stars out of 5!

We picked names like 'hero' which was cute but no one knew who I was until we were all screaming at each other our game names and forgetting Arrive a few minutes early so you get your full 30 min or whatever. There are disclaimers you sign. Etc. Listen to the rules and tips. In several games I was several minutes in before I figured out why I could not teleport or something. I should have listened better.
