This is a place for everyone! You can take your whole family there and be sure that they would…read moreenjoy at least one (if not more) of their activities. If you are planning on playing in the arcade area, go ahead to the customer-service area and purchase a game card, you could also get it easy from the kiosk, as you will need this card to swipe and play. We love their claw-machine (which we found it to be so much easier to win than the one in Asia, rip), if you stay there long enough on a good day, you will find some people with a big bag full of stuffed animals they won. So your chance is pretty high on winning those for your loved ones (including yourself!) When you have won enough stuffed animals, take a break and come to the other section where there are plenty of arcade games, there are ones for the sport-lover, anime-lover and those who loves to dance. There are also bowling alley, and karaoke party room which we enjoy going once in a while. Food and drinks are not allowed in there as you will be checked by the security when entered. Though, there is a little food bar that offer quick bites as well as pizza, ice cream and alcohols. Before you leave, go check out the photo booth, I recommend the Japanese ones, since you can decorate it how you like before printing it. Always have so much fun coming here, will be back again soon.

Got ice cream with my friends this afternoon, the food employee "raven" was completely rude,…read moresighing and rolling our eyes at us, this isnt the first time either. Management needs to fire this girl asap

The Zone - Zoned out a bit...

The Zone, how do I put this? I had fun. That could sum it all up and I could leave it at that,…read morebut I won't. The Zone sits in a strip mall on the outer rim of downtown Erie. In all honesty if you were not looking for this, you would not find it. Walking in it feels like you might be out of place. I kept looking around when I was in here to figure out what exactly was I standing in. It felt familiar, but yet not so much. Until my one friend said that it is like a Ponderosa was turned into a gay club. I think that hits it on the nail. It feels like it was a steakhouse at some point, whether or not it was truly a Ponderosa I can't be sure. But it does have that feel of some type of either buffet or family restaurant that was taken over by rainbows and turned into a dance club. It is kind of vibrant in here. We showed up on a Friday night which is their drag show night. Cover at the door and you walk in and it feels like it is super quiet, that is until you get out of the small corridor. We walked right up to the bar and ordered our drinks. Note: this is a cash only bar, so have some cash with you or hit up an ATM on your way here. The bartenders were amazing and handled the surge of customers throughout the night. Since there was a drag show happening we did not get to participate in any dancing and thus we did not move far from the bar area. That was alright by us, we actually got to see a lot of the ins and outs of this place by just sitting there. There is food available, not sure when the kitchen closes, but they do have menus and you can order throughout the night. On drag nights the bar gets hit at odd times with a surge of customers wanting a refill on their drinks. I might suggest you get two and wait for the crowd to dwindle. To me the mixed drinks felt a little on the small side, but they did the deed. I stuck with a margarita the whole night and it seemed like most people in here did not know what a margarita was. For a strip mall gay club, I definitely have had my ups and downs. But this one was an up, we enjoyed ourselves. As for the reviewer that said this is the "trashiest gay bar" they have ever been to in their life and begs to say that those that read the review "can't tell me they disagree." I disagree, I have been to some trashy gay bars and this does not hold a candle to them. Not a dis, just an observation.

The zone was definitely a place to visit. We visited the eclipse weekend and we just had an amazing…read moretime with our bartender. He gave us a birthday shot for my friends 21st birthday. Beware that it is smoker friendly, but there is pool tables and other activities to keep you entertained as well as karaoke. We did not get any food. I'm not sure if they even had any food and it is a cash only bar.
