Fun, funky, the kind of place where a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops, or full-body Spandex, would be completely at home. We were there on a Saturday to scout it for a potential birthday bash and wanted to get a sense of the atmosphere, what kind of crowd it attracts, and assess the food and service.

This place doesn't get moving early. We arrived at about 8:15 and there were possibly 6 people there. With multiple bars and lots of seating (booth as well as stools surrounding the pool and gaming areas), there were lots of choices for us in terms of where to park ourselves. The crowd started coming in around 9:15, but by the time we left (around 11), it definitely wasn't full. The wait staff said that was usual, but Fridays tend to be much busier.

Lots to do--pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, a Wii, and a wide variety of board and other games. If you like to have options or things to do with your friends besides pound beers, this is a great spot. The music soundtrack was eclectic and fun, and not overly loud.

The food was decent, hot, and well-priced. Overall, the only down side was the service. The bartender for our section was a lovely woman but not very efficient. She couldn't seem to remember what was ordered, and took a long time bringing drinks. In addition, wait staff circulated in the pool table area but not regularly--so be prepared to fetch your own drinks.

All in all, though, this is definitely a spot to revisit. I recommend it for its fun, laid-back atmosphere and for the variety of things to do while you're there.
