Great professional drinks and mixology, friendly staff, neon lights, arcade area, food, Volleyball Leagues, and of course, BOWLING!!

If photobooth isn't making photos make sure Linux has been decompressed, and ELF has been parsed. Also try upping the rootdelay to "8." If still no photos have come out, make sure unit is plugged in.

Track down bartender Kevin (also responds to "Batman") and ask for "The Combat Rock" off of the top-secret menu. Made with Avión Tequila and hot sauce, this drink is not for the faint of heart.

Friendly, over the top, hospitable service. Good lanes. Rock and roll bingo is always a fun time! Decent food, but where are the mozzarella sticks?

The key to bowling is to knock over all ten pins, or in bowling lingo a "strike." this will lead to a higher score and thus a better chance of winning.

Underrated "sports bar." 10 TVs in bar area w/Sunday Ticket (2 47" HD) plus new HDTVs in bowling area too. Also good local brews (Surly, Summit, Fulton.)

Push the ball away from your chest, extend your arm, and let gravity pull the ball downwards and back, then gravity will pull the ball back down, where you release. Dont put ANY force on the ball.

Trouble getting 300? Meet me at the guitar hero for lessons. $50 first hour, $20 each additional hour. Be discrete, green hat means all clear, red hat means DO NOT APPROACH manager is watching.

The steak dinner is delicious. You don't need any sauce for your steak and the mashed potatoes and gravy are good as well.

Get the half order of steak. It won't be the last time.

Pinball: -Has "Railroad Tycoon," but it was unplugged and out of order. Also has "Lord of The Rings," but it's left flapper sticks.

I got a Two hearted,Reuben, and substituted fries for tots. The waitress said she had to close out, so I gave her a $20. She said she'd be right back... She didn't come back... Did I do my math wrong?

Management frowns on hurling your body down the lane for the spare.

Bowl at your own risk. Risk of bodily injury is associated with this game.

Try the "hot and meaty" sandwich. Sucks to say it outloud but it tastes good.
