Play Pensacola — Restaurant in Pensacola

I really enjoyed the dirty bingo last week so today I said let me go again. My first night there I know I spent at least $30 tipping the bartender.... So tonight I get there buy my first drink the bartender said $6.50 I give her $10 she was nice go back to the bar to buy a drink for a friend I pay with my debit card I put on the receipt no tip with a zero with a slash thru the middle because I know I was going to get another drink and I was going to give her a cash tip so when I order the two shots she says are you going to tip me this time I say ma'am I just gave you a cash tip for my first drink you don't know what I was about to give you.. I have been a bartender for 20+ years and I always put a slash on my zeros because the bartender can always go back and write their own tip so I get mad and say you know what don't even worry about my drink and proceeds to walk out.... A professional would never say what she said I'm not obligated to give you anything but working in the industry for 20+ years I know.... Plus cash is always better she blocked it I was going to give her $20 but her words blocked it. I was going to come back next week with 5 good tippers with me but I don't even think I will be back. And I always tip more than what...

All the games I played were broken or somehow didn't work right. The House of the Dead game wouldn't let us play two player and wouldn't read the coins I put in. The air hockey table doesn't blow air hard enough to move the disc so it constantly got stuck in the middle of the board, the skee ball machine didn't work and the pool table wouldn't drop all the balls after putting money in. When I addressed the issue of the air hockey table with the waitress and asked for a refund she said "no, you're still playing the game" even though we had to repeatedly stop the game to try and move the disc to an area where there was good air flow. I'm positive they are aware their machines don't function properly, but they don't care. Their staff weren't interested in mitigating the MULTIPLE problems we encountered and their games are much more expensive then other game bars I've been to. I would not recommend this place to anyone and I certainly will not...

Nice little barcade. Staff is wonderful, drinks are reasonable, and the games are on the nostalgic/vintage side (with the pros and cons that implies -- but I'd honestly have it no other way). I think most of us have stepped into a place at one point or another that tries to emulate the authentic feel Play naturally has: the friendly atmosphere, the impression that these games have been lovingly maintained as opposed to your more soulless "just throw it away and get a new one" places... Even the fact that you have to climb the stairs (or take the elevator) to access the place helps mentally separate you from the busy main thoroughfare downtown and create its own environment.

It's just...
