Fun place with several arcade games to choose from in addition to the (hudreds?) of board games.
Food is nothing special, just snack foods warmed up in a toaster oven. We got the cheese curds and they were an absolute mess. We also got the mini corn dogs and they were slightly soggy. It was our first time ordering food here and probably wouldn’t do so again.
The beer and drink selection is great, and their namesake “blue shell” cocktail is one of my favorites in the area and worth coming for all on its own.
The games are great, especially if you have a group. Our only major “complaint” this time is the music was obscenely loud to the point of needing to practically yell at the people you were sitting with just to be heard. Haven’t had this issue on past visits though, so may not be a common thing?

Our bartender made our visit feel so welcoming. Her enthusiasm, attentivness, and attitude made the the bar so much better.. Great prices on drinks! The built-in retro games are free and a blast. Loved the added board games and nostalgia down to the red goblet wine glasses. Feedback: some regulars (which is good to have) came off as territorial. Not moving so people could play games acting as if customers were nousence…if it wasn’t for the awesome welcoming bartender it would have been deterring. Having locals who are not playing at built in games claim bar spots as their spot was a little weird. Suggestion: maybe if notplaing game move over . Overall great experience!!!!

Finally, Bartenders and a Bar Who Get It!
Blue Shell is everything the bar down the street wishes it was (Backwoods).
The bartender was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and actually seemed happy to serve us — a refreshing change. Drinks came in real glasses (with alcohol included, no less), priced fairly, and the whole place had an easy, fun vibe. Proof that $20 can actually buy you a drink, not a Capri Sun and an insult.
Grateful my friends and I were able to end the night at a great place with great people and service.

I met up with a group of coworkers here and we had a great time. Bartender was super cool. It’s a small place but we still had plenty of room for the 20 of us and our 6ft sub. Thank you for letting us hang out. We will return.

Went here to check out the pinball machines. Great prices, great drinks for really just being a mixture of canned concoctions and syrups, and we didn’t have a bad interaction with any staff or customers. It was really just a bar that I felt I could go into and chill if I lived here. Also give a discount if you’re a service industry worker, which was an unexpected surprise for my husband and I.

This is such a neat space! The game selection is good, for board games, arcade games, and retro games built into the bartop. It was a bit quiet on a Wednesday evening, but I’m sure it’s a fantastic place on weekends. Seems like a good place to bring a date and challenge them for a high score…

Super great place, lots of board games, retro video games, and arcade games. Just opened up and there were a good number of people on the opening night, less people earlier in the day (able to have a big table and play full rounds of Catan), so it’ll be great for any any level of crowd. Definitely recommend.
Owners are obviously super cool too.
