Overall it was a great experience on Saturday night. It was pretty busy around 6pm and more people arrived after that. We were told by friends that on the weekday it was dead so I'm sure most of the business is on the weekend.

We had drinks and the cocktail was great. They have many rotating beers and will let you sample. The bartender was very nice. We didn't get food so I can't comment on it, but I didn't see many people eating.

Games: hand putt I expected not to like but really liked, however the actual mini putt/golf I expected to like and didn't really like! If you enjoy miniature golf then I wouldn't exactly recommend it unless you want to be casual with friends and drinks, because the courses were very simple and plain. Most of the courses were the same L shape as you can see in the picture. Also when there's groups of 4 or more it takes them a very long time so we ended up going to different holes. At this point we waited around 30 minutes to mini golf and it was still crowded and slow, which makes no sense. Hand putt had no wait time the whole duration we were there so we played it twice. Hand putt can get crowded since the games are close together but overall not as bad.

I would recommend this place for a group date or hang out because the music and everyone there is pretty loud, not intimate. It was really nice for a rainy day. I'm not sure I would come back anytime soon since there's not much replay value but maybe in a year. It's worth checking out once!

I also want to mention they also have Cornhole and a random extra area that seems to be a speakeasy, but it's really weird placement.. and since the rest of the place is very loud, I'm not sure why anyone would want to go there. They had a few customers. The unisex bathrooms were smelly- not a fan.

Overall the drinks are expensive but we had a deal to go. I wouldn't ever pay $13 for a premade cocktail (they pour beer and premade cocktails)- the speakeasy probably has cocktails created from scratch. I recommend visiting once as a group date or...

What an interesting and fun concept! We came here on a Friday night after 630pm, so it was slowly getting filled. We got a Groupon for 4 for a good price, it comes with a round of golf and a complimentary glass cup. There's also a speakeasy bar attached to it, so we grabbed some tasty cocktails that's handcrafted by the bartenders. It was empty when we arrived, so we got our drinks quickly and got to enjoy the space without the crowd.

There's also a large seating area near the food area serving Mexican inspired bites and dishes from birria tacos to tacos to nachos. The prices are standard for the bay area and the portions are a little on the smaller side. The food was disappointing, hence why I'm dropping a star. The birria tacos and regular tacos were so small - you'll need at least 3 to fill you up. Also the meat was very bland. The nachos tasted like store bought stale chips loaded with uninspiring meat. The spicy red salsa was good though, wish we could get more of that but it costs extra! The nachos were a bit on the smaller side, so we had to order about 4 to feed 7 of us, with some taken home as leftovers. When you pick up the foods you can see the kitchen, which was pretty bland. Therefore the foods are the type that are quick and easy to put together. I'd eat dinner beforehand and just enjoy the bars.

There is a bar serving beers, sour beers, etc in the main area. It was nice being able to grab a beer while mini-golfing. The mini golf area is a bit small with about 8ish courses. The line builds up in the evening and we were holding up people. Some of the courses were tough! The mini shuffleboard area that is setup like a mini-golf was cute with not too many folks doing it! I'd try that out next time! TBH, I am not sure if it's worth paying full price for this. The mini golf area is quite tiny with too many people gathering...
