The strawberry old fashioned used to be my go to drink but it's been off the menu for years and it has been hard to find something comparable on their menu that's not a regular old fashioned. But I kid you not every drink I had this day was delicious, I hope there is consistency among locations for these items but I'm told that they are newer additions. * The general (whiskey) 5/5 * Hazed and confused (gin)- 5/5 * Infinity & beyond (thc) 5/5 Friends bear hug (4/5), the daphne (4/5), atomic blonde (3.8/5) and gazed and confused (4/5). Good service, cool vibes. Of all the times I've been to pins I've never played duck bowling but I do enjoy the arcade and yard games. They're on Pricey side though; for three drinks + tips we spent about $45-50 each. Not sure if they have happy hour or weekly specials.

Unfortunately, we spent more time troubleshooting and trying to get the games to work than actually playing. Half of our group eventually just gave up and sat around chatting. That said, the food and drinks were absolutely the star of the show -- everything we ordered was fantastic and honestly the saving grace of the visit. Game Arena has a lot of potential and could be an incredible spot if the tech side was more reliable and smooth. Until then, it's more of a cool place to grab a bite and hang out than a true gaming destination.

It is also nice that they had several seating areas with tabletop/board games as an additional low-tech option. Game Arena shares the other half of its space with TaKorea, so it's easy to get some snacks and drinks to enjoy while playing. They offer hourly rates, group rates, and host parties. Parking is available in the Gateway parking garage.

A friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here taking ridiculous photos with friends after not…read morebeing with groups of people for the first few years of the Coronavirus pandemic. Not enough people RSVP'd for an actual party that night so we all bought our own tickets (adult tickets are $15 Thursdays, $25 other days) and met up there. Street parking is available but watch for signs to make sure you aren't parking somewhere that needs a pass. If you can't parallel park, maybe have someone drive who is comfortable doing it. In total, 10 people showed up including a child in a wheelchair. Our tickets were for an hour but I believe we took about 2 hours; there were maybe 4 other people we saw during that time so the owner didn't rush us out. The business has around a dozen themes and several walls with fun graphics and lights. It was easy to start our way in the back and work towards the front. Or you could start on the left or right and work your way around the U shape. It was a really fun way for us to be silly, take photos, and make good memories.

Celebrated my husband's early birthday here on a Friday night. Short North was busy but we got…read morethere early to make a candle before our class so we had plenty of time to get settled. The team did a great job helping us celebrate by making a subtle birthday sign. They were also all very kind and helpful throughout the entire night. The candle making was easy and straight forward, and it was able to set while we did our class. Before class started they took our drink orders and they came quickly. We got a lemon drop and a paint water martini. Both were very tasty! Only a few people were on time, but they did give a few minutes grace period to let people find parking. By the time we got started the vibes were fun. Yahfa was our artist and she had an awesome Y2K playlist going. She explained all the steps clearly and gave us ample time to paint. We did a black light picture so most of the class was in the dark with the paint glowing. As someone who is not an artist this was so much fun! The whole process took about 2 hours, and it was easy to follow along from both her instructions and seeing her work projected on the tv. The team also made sure to regularly check in to see if we needed anything or wanted any drinks. At the end of our time, our paintings were mostly dry and our candle was set. We were also able to choose a painting from a number of options as a birthday gift for my husband. It was very sweet and a nice cherry on top of our night! We are so happy with how it went that we are already planning to go back and bring some friends along too! If you get the chance, this is definitely a fun activity for a date, friends, or even families!

We ordered what we thought was dinner, but turned out to be (in my opinion) premium snacks. This was our first time here, so it was a learning experience. If you come be sure to make dinner reservations for either before or after the show. We wound up going to Forno right next door.
