    I was having a great time until I got ready to close my tab. I left my card with bartender when I opened tab. When I went back for it 3 of the bartender were extremely rude told me to go away they were busy. They told me if I want my card to come back the following day. After asking for my card for 20 minutes while being ignored and watching bartender taking shots with customers. I finally got on one the bartender nerves and she pulled out a stack of at least 25 cards from a draw next to the register and my card was the first one on top. They all told me to go away that they didn't have my card. Please beware not sure what kind of scam they are running.

    Not only is this the coolest name for a bar. It has a very appealing feature which is arcade machines and free that's right free unlimited skeeball arcade machine. So in house you have a lot of the classic games that many of you arcade / console gaming people from the late 80s to late 90s. Games such as Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Kart versus, Pac-Man, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a few others. Bartenders and staff seem to be pretty chill. We came on an off night so it wasn't too busy and the drinks were on point. We just so happen to miss the kitchen as it was closed by the time we got there which was around 10:30 p.m. the menu did look appealing do I don't recall exactly what was on there. I can see myself letting a lot of my crew to get together and have a game and drink night in the future. So bring your quarters.

    A gentleman in plan clothing advised me it would be $30.00 for parking and the parking lot was empty. This guy was trying to rip us off and I will not be returning. Good luck to the bar.

    Great bar spot with plenty of arcade games, drink options, and private karaoke rooms in the back. The music choice was great with many hit songs from the 90s/early 2000s, and more recent songs as well. The Karaoke rooms are separated by glass doors and can be reserved for about $50.00 per hour. If you got with multiple people, you can split with each other. There was a great selection of songs in multiple languages. We had a blast! Overall would come back.

    $14.50 for a Moscow mule straight up. Asked for well on vodka tonics, $10.25 a piece. Worst of all was $12.50 a piece shots when my brother in law asked for 4 "shooters". They charged for an extra hour of karaoke and the bartender ran to the other side of the bar and watched me after they handed me my bill. I wanted to get the extra hour of karaoke removed and they acted like I was gonna walk the whole bill. 20% grat on the bill and the bartender straight said, we pre-charged it as they handed me the bill. That was a new experience for me I have to admit... Karaoke was in a decent sound proof room with a basic Apple iTunes karaoke plugin setup. Microphones were on the consumer side and had a ton of feedback. No one came to the room to take drink orders or anything remotely close to a typical private room karaoke experience. I just can't believe someone handed me a bill and walked away to eyeball me as if I wasn't going to pay. Can't say I recommend this place at all obviously, there are far better karaoke bars all round town. Kung You better double check your recipe at this place and or actually skip it altogether because well, $14.50 for a non-premium Moscow mule.

    Went there with friends on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm. The parking lot was empty. Someone approached me to ask $40 for parking when there was no sign saying so. We wanted to play ping pong but table is broken and it has been broken for a while. The parking fee needed to be well noted in the parking lot and web site.

    Went on a Saturday night. DJ was playing good songs. Bartenders were polite and active taking people orders. Paid $21 for two drinks( vodka Cranberry & Jager Redbull). They have arcade games and ski ball. Photo Booth was a little pricey at $7. They had an outdoor area as well. Bathroom were clean. Overall really great place and experience.

    Good spot with fun games, good service and Wednesday running club. The owner of the parking lot has been charging chunky parking fees so be prepared or Uber there.

    Went to Austin for the weekend and after much a much active day we were ready to get some grub and relax. After browsing thru a lot of bars we found this. Right away, we sat in the bar and asked to see a FOOD menu for the day and the bartender said THEY DON'T SERVE any HERE, which was to my surprise considering their website and other reviews have pictures and menu on there. I get it if it was the past, but maybe update your services and informing potential customers walking by. Anyways, I ordered 2 drinks and they were just okay. Moreover, if you are there for the games please be prepared to bring extra cash as it is per play for most of their arcade stuff. I will say the Foosball/ping pong table is free to use, however damaged or missing parts. As far the Kareoke bar you also have to pay to reserve. Lastly, the only pro is that this place makes nice a for a pic on the 'gram. All in all it was real disappointing way to end the night.

    Why oh why didn't I discover this place earlier while I'm here? This place is a goddamn heaven for arcade games! It is so good i even came back again the next day on Sunday! Ok, the best thing is... All arcade are available for free! Yes, just order your drinks and play! No additional fees needed. From Mario Kart to Street Fighter to Basketball... Seriously, I find it very difficult to hate this place at all. ID is needed so please be well prepared before you come to avoid disappointment.

    Great brew selection on tap. Had good games, would like more arcade games in there, like marvel versus capcom 2, time crisis, Dance Dance Revolution, and more table top games please.

    The place was great. My friend had his birthday here and we did karaoke which is pretty affordable. The drinks were good and the vibe was really nice. I have nothing bad to say about the place itself however the people running the parking lot lie about the pricing to park. I paid $20 to park my own car in a parking spot and the teenage boy wouldn’t let us park close to the building even while it was pouring down rain. Fast forward to when I left I see a sign that says “self parking $10” and “VIP parking $20”. I paid for the VIP parking and didn’t get it because he made us park at the very back by the curb. I’m pretty sure he was pocketing the extra $10. I wanted to park close so I was okay with paying for VIP but I didn’t even know that there was two different prices. I asked repeatedly to park close and he told me no that “I can’t.”Just make sure the guys aren’t taking yall’s money because it was really irritating. I did get my money back after my boyfriend confronted him and the teenage boy told the other workers that we parked in VIP. My boyfriend set the alarm on my car and they realized it was in self parking. It’s strictly cash only so they can pocket it and there’s an ATM inside!

    How are you an established karaoke bar that doesn't even answer a phone call? I was trying to reach out to see if there's any private rooms available!

  • 1/5 Tyler B. 7 months ago on Google
    The fact that they charge $20 dollars to park in their parking lot is insane. Your bar is in the heights…not downtown. Wouldn’t recommend.

  • 5/5 Ana G. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited with friends and we all had a dope time. We didn't take advantage of the karaoke rooms, but it looks fun and the price is good! Service didn't take long and the DJ played the jams! Outside patio has fun games to play!

  • 5/5 Theresa J. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this establishment. They offer tasty drinks and a lot of space in which to hangout and talk. We spent our time on the patio where there cornhole and adult size Jenga. The music was a great mix from a few genres so it has a lot to offer a variety of age groups and music tastes. Strongly suggest checking it out for yourself. You shouldn’t be disappointed.

    Great place to have a beer, play arcade games, dance, of use one of their karaoke private booths. The staff is friendly and you can bring your own food.

  • 5/5 Dana R. 1 year ago on Google
    Thr guitar hero was a little confusing at first, but loved that my friends and I were able to have a great time. A hole in the wall and really great place when there isn't a crowd!

  • 3/5 Bianca N. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm not from TX so the 20% gratuity being added to my tab is new for me. Drinks were fine. Service was okay. If I ever go back, I'll go with a date.

  • 5/5 Katy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Got there at 8 with friends. There is a parking lot but its a $20 charge, so try to find parking on the street if you can and just pay the meter, It was a small crowd when we got there so it was the right time. We did karaoke for 1 hour and had SO MUCH FUN! Great atmosphere, arcade games, fun music - loved it and we're definitely coming back!

  • 5/5 Dhiandra P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place. Versatile. Great Music. Great ambience. The manager bartenders and everyone that works here are super nice and cool. Will recommend.

  • 5/5 THEE Melanin Q. 1 year ago on Google
    So much fun, great food and friendly atmosphere. Also reasonable prices for both the food and drinks, not to mention the live band was awesome. Highly recommend.

  • 1/5 Kim 2 years ago on Google
    A lady who worked there told the cops to check my bag not once but several times because I had tattoos which she was verbally harassing me and the cops for a few minutes about this. Bigots. Do not recommend.

  • 1/5 Ron F. 2 years ago on Google
    Was charged $30 for parking and my friends were charged $20. The bar was great but was told the parking people were not part of them. Asked the parking guy about it and he he shrugged and said nothing. If I ever come back it will be because they have different parking attendants but was told they have no control of them.

    One of my favorite bars on the Washington strip! Cute activities and always a good DJ. Perfect spot for early evening drinks, a quick fun date, or a night out with friends.
