I'm usually not too big on themed bars but I gotta say this one was done right. Whoever was in charge of the decor did a fantastic job and really caught the spirit of the 80s and 90s. I only had half an order of wings (hot) but they were good and cooked well. Also had 4 or 5 of the local beers on tap. I thought the service was fine as well.

Found another gem in Tampa! Decor is spot on. N64 with Mario Kart is always a plus. The manager turned the sound on to the NBA Finals for us. Fantastic experience.

Outstanding. Happy hour was phenomenal! Great drinks, great food, great service! 100/100!

I wanna give it a higher rating but when we went they were unfortunately understaffed. The vibe was great, service was great, and the food was amazing we just had to wait a bit longer. I will definitely be going here again and will update my review when i do. If you can check them out though, its worth the stop.

Decent food and wonderful service. We had pizza and a couple of sandwiches that were ok and hit the spot. The place has a unique vibe (and scent) that may work for some but not for others - as was for our party. In any case, it's a good inexpensive place to have some food and drinks after work.

Awesome atmosphere and great food! It really is like walking into your friends house circa 1992 including a playable Nintendo 64! Lots of fun!

Met some amazing brothers, plus a really cool doctor. Atmosphere is incredible, drinks are deeelicious, food is great, amazing place. I love it. I would absolutely go back.

So much nostalgic decor to look at! Great bartenders, young, welcoming, crowd. Nice chill-out areas to chat. Games available and tvs to watch.

UPDATE: We went last Saturday, and it's so awesome. I love this place. It was busy as expected at 10 pm. We found seating and enjoyed ourselves for a few hours. Our bartender was amazing! The food was yummy! No complaints. This is my favorite bar in that area.I thought this was an awesome idea and theme. When we got there at 9 pm on a Saturday, it was super packed. It's a really good vibe with couches and games. We didn't order much food, just a few appetizers. The fried pickles were amazing, and their guacamole is really good. The menu was very limited. I don't know if that was just due to the time. All the drinks were really good. I'd go again, maybe a little earlier, to get a better seat. The only negative was it took a out 15 minutes to find our waitress, then she went to get a pen and disappeared for quite some time at least another 20 mins. But once she got us going, it was good service.

The adult capri suns are so good! We went during Gasparilla so it was crowded but nice to come in, enjoy drinks and the food was very good and came out quickly. There were board games and other things to do as well but we gathered around a table by the bar to chat with friends. Great place!
