The man selling the food in the back was very nice at beginning of the night when it got more crowded, I think he took on more than he could handle and was not very nice. Very snappy at that point. I still bought one of the pupusas & to me, it did not taste great. I would definitely return here again. It's very easy to miss though if you're driving by.

Went on a Friday night for a CHOP-sponsored event, and the place was lively. There are plenty of…read moreping pong tables, so it never felt too crowded or hard to get a game in. One thing that really stood out was the complimentary coat and bag check, such a nice touch and made everything feel easy and well-organized. We ordered a charcuterie board to snack on. Some parts were good, like the hummus, which was smooth and flavorful. A few of the veggies, though, seemed a little less fresh than expected, like the carrots and cucumbers, which were softer and a bit dry instead of crisp. The pita was also slightly on the dry side. It might have just been an off batch, but worth noting. Service overall was very attentive. At times, dishes and drinks were cleared a bit quickly--especially while I was in the middle of playing ping pong--but it really just reflects how prompt and on-top-of-things the staff are. On the flip side, they also help collect stray ping pong balls and keep buckets refilled, which makes the whole experience much smoother and more fun. Overall, it's a great spot for a night out with friends. You're really coming here for the ping pong and the energy, and on that front, it definitely delivers.

We came recently as paying customers on a double-date and had a great time again. If you're playing ping pong you can eat and play at the same time, but it's a little awkward because there's only so much room for your food. Overall, the food was pretty good. Nothing amazing. Well, except for the grilled Korean chicken sandwich; that was the highlight. Other dishes like the fries and the burger, per my husband-- were just simply passable. The truffle fries were much better than the ones that showed up with my sandwich, which by the way I had no idea came with the dish. So, I paid for fries twice. The ambiance is cool, very instagrammable, but it is super loud. I don't know how anyone could talk to each other. Cool if you're playing ping pong and just hanging, but don't think you're going to catch up with an old friend here. Not unless they have a more subdued experience earlier in the day. We came on a Saturday night and I had to be right up on my friend to hear her.

I am by no means an edm/house music kind of person and that's what they played on every floor but I found myself jamming and feeling free. The amount of space there now is, is awesome as you don't feel overstimulated by the crowd. The fact that there's an outdoor area for people to smoke/just get some fresh air without having to leave the venue was something I didn't think I'd love so much. Absolutely would recommend this for everyone to take their friends out for a night out One thing to note - it was ticketed to get in and was $17 but I'm not sure if this is a thing that happens often

It made me wonder--is Fishtown just packed with families, or does the park send everyone here? Their cheesesteak menu offers several different proteins, and after chatting with the very friendly bartender, I took the recommendation and ordered the Kielbasa Cheesesteak with tots. First, let's talk about the tots. Outstanding. Crispy, golden, and exactly what tots should be. The kielbasa itself was excellent. Am I completely sold on kielbasa cheesesteaks? Not yet. That might just be my old-school thinking. I still believe kielbasa belongs on a soft pretzel roll with spicy mustard. That said, if you're going to order a kielbasa cheesesteak, this is a very good version. The beer selection is excellent, the staff is welcoming, and the atmosphere makes Interstate Drafthouse the kind of neighborhood spot you'll want to come back to--even if you're not there for the cheesesteak..

Despite it being the afternoon of the Super Bowl qualifying Eagles game, it wasn't deafening loud and our waitress was superb.
