    I went here only for this Chocolate sneak drink the advertised. After paying $65 to park because there was a Celtics game going on in the same spot! I was beyond disappointed they did not have it. The "Play" area is a joke, it's not Dave and Busters, the have literally 4 games and you buy tickets/tokens to play the games. Service is horrible, and the crowd demographic in there, not diverse, at all. Felt very out of place. Better places you can waste your Friday night. Don't recommend. It's a bar for all intensive purposes. It is in a great location.

    Stopped by play at BNL for dinner and drinks before some adult arcade games. They have a cool bar set up with a a variety of cocktails. The food menu offers a tavern/game day eats vibe. We got the blue burger and margherita pizza. The burger was really good and had great flavor. The pizza had a nice crispy and was thin. The arcade side is a bit smaller but it is enough to keep you entertained for a little while having drinks. The service and hospitality was friendly. I would def recommend.

    Celebrating our love!  #threescompany

    VERSUS is a retro arcade bar that combines classic video games, modern consoles, drinks, and casual…read morefood in a lively entertainment-focused space. We walked into a space that feels like a mix between an arcade from the past and a modern hangout spot, with a large variety of games including pinball, classic arcade machines, and console setups spread across the room. The interior has a dim, energetic vibe with neon lights and the sounds of games and conversation filling the air, making it the type of place where the main attraction is the experience rather than just the food or drinks. The biggest highlight is the game selection. There is a good mix of nostalgic favorites and newer games, making it easy for different types of players to find something enjoyable. We appreciated the unlimited play setup, which let us move between games without worrying about constantly paying per machine. Games like pinball, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and classic arcade titles added a fun competitive energy, especially when visiting with friends, and the variety meant we could switch between different styles of games throughout the night. The food and drinks help make it more than just an arcade. The menu focuses on casual bar-style options that pair well with the atmosphere, and items like wings and loaded tots fit naturally with a night of gaming, providing the kind of shareable, snackable food that works well between rounds of games. The drinks also add to the experience, making it a good place to hang out for a longer period instead of just stopping by briefly. The atmosphere is energetic, especially during busier nights when the bar and games are both active. The space can feel crowded when there are more people around, and seating is available but can fill up quickly, though the energy of the room makes up for the tightness. Some machines may occasionally need maintenance, but there are enough options available that it does not take away too much from the overall experience, and the staff are helpful when issues come up. VERSUS is a fun destination for anyone looking for a casual night out with games, drinks, and a social atmosphere. The combination of nostalgia, variety of games, and relaxed vibe makes it stand out from a typical bar or arcade, offering a night that feels more like a playful outing than a standard dinner or drink stop. It works best for groups, where the competitive energy and shared experience are part of what makes the visit memorable.

Here, you can play skiball, pinball machines, shooting games, racing games, and more. Moreover, if you grab a seat at the bar, there are TVs for you to play Smash, Mario Kart, Fortnite, and more. Such a fun time for a date or with friends. Drinks are okay, and I didn't get a chance to try the food, but I would definitely come back for the vibes.

    This review is only for the mini golf and no food or drinks…read more Came here for a family outing and it was super fun! It's cool how modern and interesting the course is. Also super cool how tech savvy it all is as the sensors remember who is playing and how many moves you've made. There were three 9 hole courses. Each one was unique. We came in the middle of the day on a Saturday and the waits weren't too bad but I can foresee this getting a bit busy as the night wears on. Some people complain about the wait time but that comes with putt putt territory. Sometimes you get lucky and you're surrounded by small groups. Sometimes a big crowd of kids are in front of you so you wait a lot. To me that is just putt putt. There were lots of TVs so I can see this being a great place to watch a game and have a drink! Or maybe even date night. Fun for all ages. Can't comment on parking as we walked here.

    We came here on a Sunday for a staff outing and chose the unlimited mini golf…read more The bartender recommended their house Old Fashioned when I ordered a standard; decent, but extremely overpriced. There wasn't much direction, and no one to guide us where to go. We figured out the kiosk ourselves and eventually made it to golfing. The courses are fun, but every shelf and table was littered with empty drink glasses and beer bottles from previous groups (anyone here ever heard of a ROUND?). My biggest gripe was the bar closing early, and staff already preparing and cleaning the course while we were still playing. They seemed noticeably frustrated that we were there, even though this was about half an hour before their posted closing time. Being in hospitality, that behavior gave off serious "please leave so we can call it a night" energy from basically everyone working. To the managers/owners: if you don't want people there until 10, close at 9. We paid a lot of money for this experience, and thank you for showing our team what not to do. 2 stars for the game and the concept, zero for hospitality and execution. GET IT TOGETHER.
