We are a family friendly Bar and Arcade located in the heart of the southwest waterfront. Great food, games, and cocktails!
“We stopped here by fluke, and fate led me to the best hot dog of my life. Trying to kill some time waiting for a table at another restaurant we stumbled in to enjoy a drink, and I said "eh why not" to the hot dog on the menu. Well let me tell you, this thing was amazing. The bun, perfectly soft. The dog, incredibly cooked. The dog to bun ratio, spot on. Condiments, this is where it got me, ketchup and mustard belong on a hot dog, and they nailed it, the perfect amount. The presentation, unmatched. YOU NEED THIS HOT DOG!”
“We stopped in for food and to watch the Eagles game, and this place did not disappoint. The manager was incredibly accommodating and made sure the TV closest to us was playing the game we wanted. The kids had a blast in the arcade, which was a huge bonus. The food was absolutely delicious! To top it all off, our server, Gio, was outstanding. He truly went above and beyond. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, especially the gluten-free options, and was friendly, fast, and attentive, checking on us often. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Our server Katia was attentive, she made great suggestions, food came out quickly and she kept the drinks flowing. We loved Katia! I will come again!”
“Fun place, gets pretty packed Fridays and weekends. Food is decent, and highly recommend coming for happy hour deals from 4-6. Only downside, bar seems very short staffed. I’ve gone a couple of times and sat at the bar (on weekdays) and had to wait up to 25 min to be acknowledged. They used to have some really awesome bartenders but I think there has been turnover recently. Decent drinks though if you are willing to wait!”
“I enjoyed the pizza. I loved the way it was made. As for pretzel, it was a solid pretzel but I’ve had better. Then I would say, in comparison to other times I came when it was somewhat busy, it was overwhelmingly busy. This caused my entire table to almost miss out on drinks we paid for and wait nearly an hour after we ate to get the check. It seemed like the server, on numerous occasions, kept forgetting about my table while people who came in after my group got their food and check then left before we finally got our drinks and checks. I get that this place may have been understaffed due to holidays. But they have got to do better if they want at minimum a 20% tip. Other than that, I have had better service all the other times I’ve been to this place, and this is just the first time the service was subpar.”
