Didn’t try the food here but the drinks!??? Babyeeee they were strong and so good I had to keep it coming. We had a private party that was very successful and we had a great time. Plenty of games to play with friends, pool, darts and arcade games. Plenty of space , i love this place I’d come back once I’m back in town!

I went into the bar, and was refused service because one of the bartenders thought my ID was fake. He then proceeded to laugh showing everyone my " fake ID", and said even if I was 21 he wouldn't serve me. He also never scanned My ID to check it. He then showed me a fake ID example and asked me if there was a difference which there was, because mine is real. Whoever the guy bartender is there he shouldn't be a bartender, and maybe he should do his job correctly before making assumptions. I went there hoping to get a drink not get laughed.
absolutely terrible. waited in line for the bathroom for 15min and then got accused of “skipping the line” and proceeded to get kicked out. stay away if possible, power hungry weirdos!!!
