I had an AWESOME time here. The atmosphere, decor, and the oversized gaming concept (connect four, jenga, uno) was great!! Not to mention it was located on the rooftop. Weather couldn’t have been any better. Nice breeze and overcast. I order the steak waffle fries. Only b/c I needed food before I started drinking. The drinks were on point. Loved this place! ❤️

$22 for 8 wings with no fries and the wings wasn’t a good chimi in all honesty. They up charge ranch for $2.50 and that should definitely be disclosed we spent $6 just on ranch. Green tea shot and cocktails taste great and strong average price.gorgeous rooftop but not for food, just drinks and vibes. Music is okay radio style .

We went on a slow day. It was empty. But they have photo props & games to play. The food was decent. Service was amazing.

I went here with my sisters for a birthday weekend and we were excited to try this place. It looked so cool from all the pictures. Here is how I feel about the place. First there is not enough shade on a hot day I get that it is a rooftop after all. The games were kind of fun the oversized cards are hard to hold for smaller handed people and don’t play jenga when you food arrives as it tumbled into our dishes. I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos which said they were $13 on the menu. I didn’t notice till we left that I was charged $15 for them instead. This was due to the fact that they are so lazy they won’t let you split your bill (other restaurants did this too but one amazing place had a QR code to split it ourselves and we were grateful). The tacos were just meh, they came on corn tortillas that were disgusting and that detail was not on the menu or I would not have ordered them. The drinks were overpriced and small. Not worth the hype.

Fun spot for drinks, we tried several. Their corn ribs and fried pickles were really good. The loaded fries were really soggy with no flavors. They have some group games to play. We spent some time on the roof and it was really fun

It was a cool experience, I don’t think I’ll be back. And it’s not a bad thing, two levels of security.. all that security usually means they have had problems in the past.. and then the music kinda changed the later we stayed.. it’s not my crowd.. always get a copy of the bill, my server just wanted to take my credit card.. without allowing me to review what I spent..i guess she wanted me to tip again even though they take gratuity already..

This is such an amazing place. I have never been in a more amusing atmosphere then this. Everyone was just so positive and had amazing vibes. Staff was absolutely amazing at what they do and super friendly. Security checks downstairs before you take the elevator and that is where you also get carded. The place is on the rooftop and they have a beautifully decorated inside area as well as an outside area with lots of games. Drinks are incredibly strong and well worth it. Definitely recommend this place for any type of hangout.

So I am going to start by saying I am in my 40’s and so is everyone in my party. With the being said. The vibe was a cool outdoor beach bar theme. Downstairs security was rude and unprofessional. Music was loud and we couldn’t talk. Beer’s and drinks come in a plastic cub. I saw a bartender kinda clean a beer tower and serve it out. Dinner i had nachos. It’s then picture. It was $30 which i thought was not bad. Lots of food. Nachos were good. I enjoyed them. The tacos were $13 for 2 pork tacos. They were ok, not good, just ok. Our waitress forgot about us and we had to go find her for refills and the check. The bathroom was not pleasant. I watched people my age walk up and then leave. It is not a place for people 35 or higher.

DONT EAT HERE. The food is not edible. the worst I ever had in life. $22 for 2 tacos. They were dry. Fries rock hard. Wings were almost worst than the tacos. The venue is super cute. Games were fun. I would recommend going to chill with friends but eat BEFORE you go. Server and manger were nice. I gave 3 stars because our server was a sweet heart. If not this would be a 1 star review

My boyfriend and I came in right before the rain started today but still had a decent time. Got a new drink (includes Cognac & Amaretto Sour) made by the great bartender Alan. 10 out of 10 recommended. Great music, drinks, & views!
