    Honestly sub par. I have been here many times and it's been a good place, however the food is bought at sam's club and is overpriced. I decided to give it another chance however when I went to pay my tab gratuity of 25 percent was already added by the bartender. I will gladly tip well, but I don't feel that they should Automatically tip themselves. Don't go here if you want to overpay.

    Stay away from this place. The owner can't run a business. Complains all the time and micro manages his employees. Several have quit due to this. Also, if customers don't tip because they didn't realize a drink was 10 bucks but planned to tip on the next drink, he tells the bartender to add tip automatically. He had decent menu but due to his not knowing what he's doing he lost money and can't afford better food. He also only opens up half the bar because he can't find staff to work the other half. Even if he could find staff he can afford to pay them. Don't lean on the pool tables or you will get yelled at. Plus if you disagree with him or call him out about it he will ban you for life. Plus look at previous reviews. If you have a complaint he either blames it on someone else or says you must have been at another place. He never accepts responsibility. Horrible

    This one should be pretty easy. Prices? Terrible. Food? Terrible. Service? Worse than terrible. The owner himself made us feel like an annoyance not a customer. Had a group party in one of the private rooms and private is an under exaggeration, we might have well been in the ghost room considering how no one could get a drink, much less even try to order one. Group of about 50 and 50/50 left wishing they’d picked another bar. Will NEVER be returning.

    Nice two sand volleyball courts (good high ceilings but a little tight on the sides). Three pool tables, two sets for bags (corn hole). They used to have a few small bowling alleys but that has been converted to meeting rooms. Decent bar food but was a lot better in the past with a really good chef now it’s just okay.

    Not a great vibe in here…the manager harassed me via email and accused me of sneaking in alcohol even though I purchased drinks at the bar and am 33 years old. Despicable management. Will never return.

    If you are planning on drinking here expect to wait a very long time for your drink. On a busy Saturday night they have 1 bartender who asked us 4 to 5 times what we wanted and kept giving us the run around. Long story short we waited 20 minutes and never got a drink so we walked out. They had 5 security guards on duty though, but only 1 bartender. This place would have been fun if we could actually have better service.

    Food and drinks are good, but cannot recommend visiting the bar on one of their event nights unless you are there to participate. I sat at an unreserved table after ordering food and a drink, but when the food came I was asked to move from the active area and into the unlit, closed second bar/dining area in the front, under a safety light as I wasn't there for volleyball or dancing. While I had originally came with the plan to stay, drink, and eat for an hour or two while friends danced, I ended up finishing my food and going to another bar to wait for my friends where I could sit at the bar. Edit: I am unable to post a reply to the response but the table we sat at was as clean and ready as any table I've seen. Which is wonderful to have patrons that leave tables like that. However, as for a deal with the dance host, I did ask so I could just sit there since my friends would be dancing and I would not be, but was told I would have to pay the full fee. I also would have loved to sit at the bar but we were specifically asked to move from the area to that table and weren't given another option.

    I absolutely LOVE going to this bar and seeing Jim and his wonderful employees!!! I go here often for the EDM shows and its so cool how many different rooms they have and things to keep the adult child entertained after a busy work week!!! Until next time!!!!

    I've only been to the dance classes which are great. Not a fan of the sweaty smell sometimes when we come in and there are people playing volleyball. A bar smelling like a gym is not good. Edited to clarify smell is not the norm. Most of the time, the place seems clean and there is no smell. I only go a couple nights a month so can only speak for what I have experienced.

    Super fun place to play volleyball inside. Courts are a great size and ceilings are high. A great place to gather with friends, have a few drinks, and get all sandy.
