I was on vacation and wanted to catch up on some gaming and this place came up on Google so me and my dad figured we’d give it a shot. We had an absolute blast at this place. The owner was super cool and genuinely seems like he enjoys what he does and what he runs. The setups were very clean and ran extremely well, and they even had closed off rooms with higher end microphones and computers for people who want to stream. The view was incredible as well, that combined with the music and lighting made the atmosphere absolutely perfect. Couldn’t be happier with my experience, will definitely be coming back here next time I visit family here in New York. Amazing place!

Awesome, open space with a great view and a lot of amenities (fridge, ping pong table, VR set up, multiple TVs/consoles, etc). I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was extremely polite and worked with us every step of the way. The staff was also friendly and were able to help us through some tech difficulties very quickly. Overall great experience for a reasonable price.

Held my son's 12 birthday here and the team was AMAZING! The kids had a great time, the facility is clean, and the view is perfection. Ben was so helpful and responsive, from start to finish, and I would 100% recommend.

Was invited to come here and check this space out as a U of R student. Great facilities available at a good location right at innovation square where many students live while also being close to Eastman with shuttles from River campus coming right over here.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Great Lakes Gaming lounge, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The first thing that struck me was that the Lounge is located on the 22nd floor of a very cool looking building right in downtown Rochester and offers breathtaking view from the top. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided a panoramic vista of the city below, creating a truly unique gaming environment. It's not often you get to enjoy your favorite esports games while taking in such a picturesque backdrop. The lounge itself was a gamer's paradise. The state-of-the-art gaming setups were top-notch, with high-performance PCs and consoles, ergonomic chairs, and premium peripherals. The attention to detail in creating a comfortable and immersive gaming atmosphere was evident. Ben, the owner, was knowledgeable and passionate about esports, which added to the overall experience. He was ready to assist with any gaming-related queries or provide recommendations. Great experience overall and I’m definitely back there when I’m in Rochester again!

Very fun, it's a great atmosphere. Plus the view is incredible, impressed with the all the computers xd

Love this place. it's really fun to chill here and play games, talk with the staff. . . . . raid the skittle machine. I come here to play games with my friends on the weekends when I can and it's such a chill and inviting environment I also love to come and play DND of my friends. Although one time I swore in front of the boss and he turned into a shadow demon and locked me in a closet as punishment. I've been here for a week but still a 10 out of 10 experience would recommend

Had to kill some time before a flight, so decided to enjoy an internet Cafe. Now, I haven't been to Japan to experience the epitome of the internet Cafe, but this was labeled as such so, I decided to give it a whirl. The building is a combo residential, office, internet Cafe. I mention this because it's a bit intimidating when entering (at least for me, someone from the southwest united states, who doesn't see tall, multi purpose buildings often.) I tried to go up to the 22nd floor, but it wouldn't let me go up there, potentially because it was just after opening and you sometimes need a key card? The security guard at the front desk helped me out. Once I got up there, I was alot smaller than I expected. Got to meet owner and founder Ben at the front (CEO that doubles as receptionist, noice.) He showed me around at what they had to offer. -The gaming/ computer area, with 12 or so single monitor setups for you to do just about whatever you'd like (internet browsing, discord, YouTube etc) along with several games already being installed and the option to sign into your preferred gaming storefront and download your own games to enjoy. There are also 2 Streaming booths in this area. They are like the computers in the main area, but with a little extra spice to handle streaming: beefier gpu, dual monitors, good microphone, etc. (Note: it doesn't look like these are any more expensive than the regular pcs. Even if you don't stream, you can use them). -Attached to that was the consoling gaming area, with large tvs, couches and tables, and various consoles, like PS5, and switch, along with a fairly relaxed policy about hooking up your own stuff (someone was playing an emulator while I was there). -Down the hall was the Cafe area, with a few Vending machines and some general snacks up front. Normal bottled water was free, which was awesome. -Around the side from the Cafe was a few dedicated rooms for special events/ team building. Didn't ask too much about them, since I was alone. For an hour, it's 10$. For a "day pass" (as long as you want that day, since they are not open 24/7), it's 25$. That was great, especially if you want to be there a long time. I got to enjoy YouTube videos I had missed since I wasn't where I could watch them, I talked with friends on Discord, and I played some games. I tried to download a large game (Starfield) but something about the computers loader has trouble with large, new games. So, best prepare to wait, or enjoy some of the other games as it will download while you play. Overall, was very happy to find a place to hang out and feel like home. Got to talk to my friends and get distracted from not the best trip, so it was very helpful having a chill place. Highly recommend if you want to hang with friends and home is far away/ sucks, or if you just need a place to feel welcoming.
