They've got basketball, pool, and a few other games. Reasonably priced too. One game of basketball is only $1! I ended up playing a few rounds of basketball and had a blast.

Unfortunately, my group & I had a poor experience at this establishment. We were a group of 8…read morefemales coming for a fun night out. It was my first time here so I was looking forward to it. I was happy to hear they offered karaoke too so my friend & I put our name down for a duet (the iconic HSM, "Breaking Free"). Upon coming to the bar, there were a few other groups but it wasn't crowded yet. It was about 30 minutes later, and several more people had come to the bar now. My friend went up to ask the guy (leading the karaoke) a question. At this point he tells her: "well, I already played your chosen song an hour ago...and it's the same crowd, so...". There wasn't a conclusion if he was asking us to choose another song or if he was just giving his personal opinion. We also simply disagreed that it was the same crowd as an hour ago, and also I didn't realize there was a rule about playing the same song per hour? Given there wasn't a conclusion from the conversation, my friend & I decided to keep our chosen song since we were looking forward to singing it. 10 more minutes passed and we were next in line. My group came up to the stage to get ready for when we were called. But then, we were skipped! The audacity! Someone else from my group went up to address why we were skipped. He said "I just won't play that song!". Honestly I'm wondering if he just had a personal issue with that song lol. Like bro just play it for three minutes and make the customers happy? Since we were upset about his power trip, we took our buisness to Redwing. I am happy we made this move. I will say, the drink pitchers are worth the money & the bartender was nice. The cup pong was fun entertainment.

Love meeting friends here - locals and tourists are always pleasantly…read moresurprised by this literal 'hidden' gem tucked in the middle of an industrial area (parking may take a bit to find). The main food available is from Pizza Cassette, which has delicious sandwiches and wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza pies. Drinks are available from a brewery, a trendy and unique wine spot, and a meadery! Truly something for everyone. It's dog friendly and great for groups to still feel intimate with standing areas, barrel table tops and picnic style tables. There's usually always something happening like trivia night or live music, but heads up, they don't stay open too late - won't be an issue for most, but in case you're looking for a spot at 8pm, double check the hours, especially for food.

The Gartën is one of my favorite "third place" with tasty pizza, mead, wine, and beer options…read more The Gartën contains 4 businesses: Lost Cause Meadery- world wide award winning mead from traditional to more experimental Oddish Winery-- by the same minds of Lost Cause, fun funky wines Deft Brewery-- from European style beers to classic Cali IPAs deft will have something for everyone, beer wise Pizza Cassette- one of my favorite spots for pizza, with amazing gluten free crust as well as vegan cheese so definitely something for everyone. Weekly specials for their pizza too so stop by often. I love the staff at all of the establishments, I can tell they enjoy working here and believe in their products. My only "complaint" has nothing to do with the businesses but rather the parents who can't control their kids. Please please please keep an eye on your kids. It's not the job of the people working here to keep your kids safe. Please rein them in so they aren't trying to go into the "behind the scenes" area with all the equipment and machines are. At the end of the day this is a place as alcohol-centric, so it also makes me wonder why on earth you're bringing your kids here to begin with but c'est la vie.... If they're going to be here, keep them safe and in check.
