    The Rec Room is a cool, moderately sized location with old school gaming systems, a bar, and several newer games to enjoy. You must purchase tokens to play any of the games; however, half of the games do not display how many tokens are needed. Additionally, many of the games swallowed our tokens, so we lost track of cost. The bonus is that they returned the tokens with extra to spare. Overall, I would recommend this place for a quick hour or drinks (a Moscow mule was around $6-7), games, and as a social outing for a family or group of friends. There isn't much to do after an hour, except keep drinking.

    We stopped in the Rec Room during downtowns First Friday event. The bar could do a little more to bring in people from events like these. The space is very cool with semi private tv areas and private game rooms. The ping pong area is really unique and offers a unique playing experience compared to other barcades. There is a good mix of classic and modern games to play while you enjoy a drink or 2. Rex room gets rowdy at night and they don't shy away from it. With two beer pong tables outside it's not the most pandemic friendly but it offers a lot for the bar crowd to enjoy

    Employee left keys in video game. He is currently sitting at bar watching tv. ?

    This place is disgusting. Most employees are rude. Bartender was sweet enough but other the male employees were too wrapped up in a game on the bar tv to notice that one of them left keys in the Big Buck Hunter machine. By the way.. it is only 7 pm on a Friday ...there is nobody here. Pay attention!! This place could be a ton of fun with the right employees.

    What a fun place!! Went with 3 friends during the day and it was a nice place to hang out for a few hours. They ask that you wear masks while inside. There's PAC-Man by the front door that's free. You can use your card in the token machine. It automatically cashes you out at $5. Grab your drink and then get some tokens and get your air hockey on!! It only took two tokens. There's also Skeeball, which is two tokens. We spent a good amount challenging each other. Bartenders are nice and there's a full bar. Not a huge place, but it's still a good way to kill time.

    Was here last night, had a good time. Came to do my meet n greet with my new adventure. Had two…read morebeers sense I don't allow myself to go to wild on the first night. Couple if locals were inside. Bar tender we had was a charming playful gentleman. Sense i came more for my company than the place, i chose to focus my whole being on them so I didn't take pictures. I will definitely be back to give it an honest full package review. They got karaoke, a pool table n a nice outdoor patio with privacy walls. I didn't go back out sense it really takes half of beer to get me drunk. I wasn't gonna flop like waffle into the floor. I think 2 hours in we saw more gentlemen come in and madams also. It is a nice chill spot. No drama, just a bunch of folks getting wrecked on the $15 drink all night special n singing karaoke. I never done karaoke but i promise i will next time. Ima bring my cat-girl super power out! How was the date? Definitely moving forward with the conquest! We after party n i got home around 3am lol so i had a blast. I will come back during pride to, want to see how Lakeland celebrates it. Do I recommend this place? Hell yeah! Lot of good looking dudes, fun staff, karaoke n pool tables. What else do u need? Take a drink n mingle my lovely's, have a blessed day n may the shenanigans goddess bless your miss adventures!! Xoxoxo

    I've never been to Lakeland, FL. My friend and I found this gay club on Yelp and we thought to give…read moreit a try. First and foremost I'm 60 years old. I've been to many gay establishments from Portland ME to San Francisco, CA. Upon arrival at 11:00pm the building looked dilapidated. The parking lot was dirt and the arrival experience gave an impression of being an unsafe area. The doormen we're welcoming and cordial. The bar tender was very nice too. Our Drag Show experience was constantly interrupted by a belligerent extremely intoxicated female patron as you can see below in the screen shot. She should have been escorted from the club and kicked to the curb. She was interrupting the show and harassing patrons to the point that we left 15 minutes after the show started. I understand it's a small club. It is what it is and serves the gay community in Lakeland, FL. Would I return? Possibly. Only if you put a muzzle on the belligerent drunk with the trucker mouth.

    I can't fully express how grateful and happy I am that we got to meet Chris Torres today. We came…read morein with family and friends just to enjoy some drinks, and he took care of us in a way no one ever has before. His hospitality, kindness, and attention to every detail made our experience truly unforgettable. We're so thankful for the amazing service, and honestly, we would come back again because of him. Thank you, Chris, for giving us some of the best hospitality in the world -- you truly made our day special.

    Let me start off by saying that I had no expectations when visiting this venue for the first time…read morethis evening. They were starting a karaoke night and I figured since I enjoy performing that this would give me an opportunity to check out the venue for possible future event visits. The event was scheduled from 8pm to 12pm or later. We arrived 10 min. early in case there was already a crowd. GM Chris came to the door and asked us what time it was(?), that should have sent a red flag as he was the point person for running this event. We spent 10 min speaking with the Pink Piano owner next door and had a great conversation. At 8pm we went in and there was 1 individual sitting at the bar and the bartender. I ordered a scotch and a neutral for my disabled spouse. At 8:46pm with just 4 people (included) waiting for the karaoke, I went to the bar to close out my tab. The total for my drink and spouse came out to $19 and I left a $5 tip for the bartender who spent the entire time talking to the young man sitting at the bar. These are very difficult financial times for many people and to charge this type of prices for drinks, especially in Lakeland, Fl is absurd. As a very well organized individual who has managed many venues in his past along with being a professional performer, this was a complete disappointment from an operational point of view. If you are going to advertise a venue with a start time, at least either start on time or apologize to patrons who made provisions to attend the venue for events. My time is just as important as those running this establishment. Making arrangements to bring out a disabled spouse and having to wait almost an hour is totally unacceptable. If this is the type of operational standards then I along with my spuse will patron those establishments who have a deep appreciation for return customers and their financial contribution to the running of the business. I will leave it with this, if people choose to allow business's to simply run it without any regard for the paying customer, then you deserve what you get.
