Most games are 1-2 tokens per play and pinball is 4. They also have a selection of card and board games. They were busy on a Friday night in February and they had candy out for Valentine's Day. We had a lot of fun and considered going two nights in a row.

Don't patronize this business. I went in to sell my Switch OLED because I'd heard some decent…read morethings and (wrongly) assumed this local business must have better morals than the giant corporation, GameStop. I was sorely mistaken. They offered me $90 for a console that they will turn around and sell for ~$300. They claimed they were doing me a favor by giving me 10 whole dollars (!!!) more than GameStop was offering.... Regardless they'll be making a $200 profit off of my sorry ass. The employee claimed they'd only sell it for $150 but me, not being a total dumbass, pointed toward the base version switches they are selling for $250 and questioned why they'd sell a superior version of the same console for less... The employee got noticeably nervous and just kept repeating that his boss wouldn't let him change the price. (Massive eye roll). I was scammed. The only reason I took the deal was because I needed grocery money. Hope they feel good about extorting locals. This was my first time ever doing business with them and it's most certainly my last.

I was standing there on my phone, and the indoor bouncer came up and started screaming in my face. Not the guy watching the door or the guy checking IDs inside, another staff member.

I would stay away from here.

The locals at that spot told us to check the Irish bar, but we heard some cheering coming from Akes' Place so we walked in. The bar was full of all different football fans, and the Lions game was on one of the many TVs, so we sat at the bar with some other friendly patrons and had a few drinks. Then the pizza arrived... that's right, there was free pizza and a friendly crowd. And the Lions won! The bartender was super nice and the vibes were great. Lots of high fives and friendly banter. The bathroom was what you'd expect for a dive bar, but definitely not the worst I've experienced. So glad we found this spot and I would come back.
