Parking and entrance is at the rear of the building. Well lit, brand new parking lot with plenty of parking. Handicap parking available against the building.

There are 4 videogame stations right inside. Each station has 2 controllers and a comfy couch. The game console is mini Nintendo with 4 games.

Near the videogames are 4 or 5 ping pong tables. Careful of over shooting. One person backs up to a wall, but the other person backs up to the wide open space.v you may go running for your ball.

There is a lot of seating with comfy couches and some picnic tables throughout the space. There was giant Jenga on one table and giant Connect 4 on another.

There are 2 sections devoted to Air Bowling (throwing a football to knock down bowling pins). There are two shuffleboard courts. There are several bocce ball courts. There are about 10 cornhole stations.

There's a bar near the main entrance and another further back in the space. Plenty of staff and registers will make ordering a breeze. Lots of canned options from local beer and cider, to Red Bull (4 options), flavored sparkling juices, and canned wine. There's something for everyone.

Bathrooms are currently is a mobile porta potty trailer. Similar to what you may find at a classy outdoor wedding or music festival. There are sinks inside the trailer.

Suggestions: -Would love the addition of hand sanitizer stations. Every game involves touching something that someone touched before or that touched the ground. You build up the grime quickly. -Would love more accessible napkins/paper towels. As careful as you are with your drinks, they will inevitably be knocked over by a stray football. I didn't like interrupting a bartender...

I was there Saturday for a birthday party and I was going to have my birthday there this upcoming weekend but don't think that will happen anymore. First we walk in and there was not a line. People were scattered to pay. No lines were formed. I watched people without wrist bands walk in. I think that there needs to be more structure for the line. Second the employees that were working the front desk were very rude . My friend reserved tables and the girl working was really rude to her. Not knowing I was her friend after she walked off she said "Jesus Christ" then I said btw that was my friend . As we walked away she rolled her eyes at us. Later we were stepping out side to cool down and was yelled at not to take drinks outside. I didn't hear the guy say that and I said what did you say and he said " NO DRINKS OUT SIDE" . He was also very rude. There were no signs that said no drinks outside... I saw numerous people coming in and out with there drinks.. I felt as a customer we were micro managed. $7 for a city wide is a lot. We went to a bar in the groove and it was $3.50... I did enjoy the games but the employees were very unfriendly and made it seem uncomfortable.. I don't think I will be back unless the customer service improves. Your employees should not be rude or roll there eyes at us. I was with 20 people and they were not...
