Came here last weekend for a fun night with our baseball crew. We had such a blast. The pads were…read moreeasy to use and the place is super clean. The only thing that was a miss is the service. It was so difficult to find a waiter. We stayed there for 2 hours and the waiter came to get our drink order once. After an hour of bowling, we were so thirsty and I tried waiting at the counter but both servers left... I end up catching one before he disappeared and asked for a pitcher of water. There was 10 of us and we ran out of water after 6 glasses... We had a fun night, the only complaint is our waiters pulling houdinis because they kept disappearing. It would have been nice if they asked if we wanted another refill on our cocktails.

We booked a birthday party here for 11 children during an extreme heat wave, only to arrive and…read morediscover there was no air conditioning. We later learned the AC had reportedly been out of service for about two weeks, yet no one contacted us in advance to let us know or offer the option to reschedule. Had we known, we never would have brought a group of children into those conditions. An Orange Heat Alert was in effect, and both children and adults became overheated. Some showed signs of heat exhaustion, and the kids were struggling to participate. Instead of enjoying their birthday, they left sweaty and disappointed. To make matters worse, the staff member assigned to our party was called away to a lengthy staff meeting while we were the only party there. We struggled to get water refills when they were most needed. Mara was helpful whenever she was available, but overall the staff seemed unprepared, and no manager came to check on our group or address the situation. What was most disappointing wasn't just the broken AC--it was how the situation was handled. There was no advance warning, no apology from the GM, no effort to mitigate the conditions with fans, complimentary cold drinks, arcade passes, or any other accommodation. Customer safety and satisfaction should have been the priority. We paid a hefty price for a memorable birthday celebration and instead experienced an unsafe and deeply disappointing afternoon. I hope management takes responsibility for how this was handled so other families don't have the same experience.

The place was so spacious and the color scheme was beautiful. This is definitely for all ages. They did have some food which was candy and nuggets and pizza that were pre cut and sectioned. I don't think I would eat there but it is in a plaza with multiple restaurants. We didn't have any problems finding a place to jump or enjoying the various activities. ‍‍ I'm definitely coming back here again! Overall, it is a great place, and I would go again.

We got there a little early and they didn't have an earlier booking, so they came out to introduce themselves and take us in before our scheduled time!

What impressed me the most was that the puzzle designs were extremely impressive. Everything was difficult but even when we were getting stumped no puzzle felt impossible or unfair which is what you want in a good puzzle.

Such fun times here…read more Came here to see Die Mannequin On Friday 29th. Since the below Yelpers have done an awesome job at summarizing the place, I shall continue with only focusing the experience of this particular event. The lounge has a parking lot in the back. If you are driving and the lounge is on your left, keep driving, there's a few businesses with parking lots in the back. It's safe to park there. This spot is a few streets down from Hess Village so around 2am there is a fun amount of drunken folks walking around. There's a few food places open late if you do get hungry. The crowd this night The Casbah was a VERY interesting mix. This is because it's usually friends/family of the band members. So don't come expecting a select type of crowd. Anything goes here. Since I've brought up the subject of interesting and anything goes, what's up with all the one way roads in Hamilton? The main street (Casbah located to your right) is ALL one way, so if you are anything like me (meaning - nil-ch sense of direction) be careful... you will most likely be driving/facing ONTO coming traffic. (true story), Thankfully, the people here are quite nice. They waved to me (after I waved.. thinking *gosh they're so nice here* I realized why. Made an illegal U turn mid street. They guided me and THEN laughed. Just use the "I'm not from these parts sir". Works every time. There's no chairs and the stage is quite tiny. They have about 4-5 bands play before the main band comes on stage. So if you are travelling, don't rush. They do check ID and stamp you. The smokers section is decent. Again, no seats. You will be working out your legs, unless your kind of a weirdo like me and plop right on the corner edge of the stage. I found beer to be a bit pricey here. There's only one bar located right on the far right corner of the venue, as soon as you walk in. I can only assume, this is where they make money. The bathroom is dinky. Small with 4 stalls. 3 of them have broken handles. Guys kinda just waltz in here, drunk or trying to help a girlfriend etc. So, be super careful. Ask a girlfriend to keep watch at your stall door. The best part about this place? - there's only 1 bathroom section in the whole place. Meaning, you WILL bump into band members. It's pretty cool. Caroline Kawa from Die was the coolest chick in the world. She helped me fix my hair and was SO down to earth. Now if I could just get Metric to play here so I could bump into Emily Haines, I'd die a desert happy girl. Even with all the sketch guys who overhear you talking about how hungry you are and respectively INSIST on walking down the street to get you a poutine,gawk at you from tiny dark corners , I still like this place. It's got a bit of a grunge feel to it so you can really dress how you want- venture into GaGa Land for the night? - I THINK SO! If you're into rocking out, you'll end up having a good time. If you're female, you'll have an even funner time trying to hide behind big equipment "helping" the band through the back door. Yes ladies, there IS a back door. No need to fret about creepers. Once you walk into the hall to the bathrooms, it's straight ahead. No alarms so you can push and run out onto a parking lot facing the main street. You can park here so you can get right into your car. They thought of everything. I like that. xoxo M.

Stone architecture and arched windows, it has undergone a number of renovations. It still feels "classic" to me. There are plaques on the front listing the names of those who fought for Canada in various conflicts. It was the center of local politics for several decades, and also various exhibitions, such as the travelling Edison "magic phonograph" demonstration in 1878. I did not have an opportunity to tour the interior today. A beautiful garden in the back complete with gazebo. There is a small parking lot. This is next to the playground which was fully occupied today! [Review 1457 of 2024 - 135 in Ontario - 22480 overall]

It's a really great environment to try new games you might not otherwise have a chance to play. The 3 hours I spent there seemed to fly by. The owner/operators are very friendly and attentive. They've clearly poured a lot time and effort into making the aesthetics of the place a haven for geeks of all vices. The Arthurian theme permeates from the establishment title, to the faux stone wall interior and literal sword in the stone sitting in the center of the main room. Apparently a full kitchen with food and drinks is coming soon which is more than enough incentive to bring me back to Camelot. Personally, I'm hoping for an over-sized turkey leg and goblet of wine combo deal.

The Hamilton Habourfront Night Market had about 30 different food vendors this weekend. My girlfriend and I decided to check the food festival out. The event is pretty much a smaller scale version of Night It Up in Markham and the Ontario Place, Waterfront Night Market. They had vendors like Golden Bubbles Waffle, Nam Wan, Yummy Korean Food, Yosh.TO and my girlfriend's favourite (kissing, she actually hates it) Wei's Stinky Tofu. She hates the smell of stinky tofu. Almost no vendors we visited took debit or credit, strictly cash. Please make sure you have cash on you since we didn't see any ATM machines. Parking is limited but if you camp properly, you will get one. The event is absolutely free entrance!
