Uplink Studios focuses on an idea you don't see often in gaming cafe or esports spaces: community-first gaming. Derek has struck gold with this idea and I encourage anyone and everyone to visit Uplink. Whether you're looking for a way to spend a unique summer day with your family, looking to hone your skills in a gaming camp, or looking to get an unexpected workout with Multiball, there's really something for everyone.
Staff is welcoming and accommodating and very generous with the space. Parents -- there's couch setups that stream the PCs so you can watch your kids play in a competitive game without looking over their shoulder. Derek thought of everything!
Can't recommend enough. Derek hosted our gaming charity organization for a weekend and I can't imagine it being as near of a success as it was without the space. GO CHECK...

He and the staff there are so friendly and welcoming and just seem like nice people with a mission to instill good values in kids while having fun. It’s a great place for birthday parties as well. I highly recommend checking them out. They just need some adult gaming leagues so I can join in...

I wish we lived closer so my son could attend their school year activities, but we will definitely be back next year. Surprised nothing like this exists where we live but would wholeheartedly support a satellite location...
