BE RiversJanuary 15, 2015Really fun bar!!! Giant Jenga,Connect four.(and other games as well) Photo booth and video games. Cool bartenders. Home of the "Gotham City Karaoke" on Tue/Wed nights. Affordable drinks..free popcorn.
Ariane RinehartSeptember 3, 2016Good prices, surprisingly large space. They have giant Connect 4 and Jenga, Super Smash Bros, and pinball. Pretty straight forward beer/mixed drinks for the area.
Board games, video games and huge projector screens. The birthday special is pretty sweet. Free drinks and a free pizza. Free popcorn year round!
This bar is badass. They have game consoles like N64 and Wii, as well as big Jenga, and other various board games. Most importantly, the drinks are cheap
Micaela ManleyJanuary 3, 2023Jenga, punching bag, shuffle board, pool, giant connect four, basketball, and beer pong master. Serves pizza, chips and salsa, and a big hot pretzel, no mustard included, each for $4. Games are $2.
Graylyn RooseFebruary 19, 2017This bar has tons of games. Giant Jenga and Connect 4, as well as pinball, a pool table and more. Also: free popcorn!
Benny LewisSeptember 1, 2017If you aren't playing the games, maybe hang out at the bar, but not as a group standing at the end deeper in. There is a bathroom line there that you will inevitably be blocking and her interrupted
Zayed KhanMarch 22, 2015Good beer selection, giant jenga, and giant connect four. Hard to complain about this place. Seems quite popular with out-of-towners, but that comes with the territory for this kind of establishment.- Comedy Bar now has Wifi, hot sandwiches, free popcorn with your beer, energy drinks, a $9 sandwich & beer lunch special, and you can drink and eat free all night on your bday if you bring 10 friends!
- David WeinbergerNovember 28, 2014Such a cool place- life size Jenga and Connect Four, coin pinball machines, a projector playing old silent films... Awesome.
- Hien LyDecember 14, 2014Pinball machines, giant Jenga and giant connect four... Super comfy couches in the back and huge tvs connected to Netflix and game consoles. I want to live here!
Theresa RoldanNovember 14, 2015Giant Jenga, giant connect four, AND foosball topped with a great selection of beer? This place is awesome. The crowd, the vibe, the fun
See a show at the PIT Loft next door and you can get 3 dollars off your frist drink. Great comedy + cheap beers = perfection.
Jason SilvermanFebruary 2, 2015After work spot for lots of local agencies, so can get crowded. Good if you wanna mingle with lots of people. Giant connect four and projected Nintendo systems
Katie EytchFebruary 12, 2016The games are cool but the clientele is a mess. Business suit bros who will push you to cut the bathroom line ruins a bar that's supposed to be fun. Everyone chill. It's midtown.
Larissa AlvarezDecember 4, 2016Low key during the day. Pinball, giant jenga and connect four. Comfy couches. Popcorn. Gets packed later on.
If drinking and watching funny cat videos or old Captain America cartoons is your thing, this might be your bar. Also: pinball!
Jaclyn RApril 3, 2019Solid place to grab a beer and they have games, including pinball! Happy hour specials too
D. G.May 29, 2015I love this bar. Their game selection is fun and it's more and more fun once you start taking those shots :-)
If you love tequila as much as I do, then you must try the blueberry margarita.
Michael P.April 1, 2015Fun bar, lots of games, and happy hour 2-7 p.m. daily. Definitely a great spot to chill with a group of friends.
melissa caronJune 9, 2017Pinball, oversized table games, good music, silly movies, good drinks, great staff!
Ali has a knack for starting businesses, I suppose. This place took a little while to fgure out its name, or its identity, but it's coming along. The Saturday crowd has become insufferable, however.
Amy Johnson CookSeptember 12, 2014Back seating area with giant jenga, board games, couches and nice skylight makes a great place to hang.
Best bar in all of New York! Ask about playing Mario cart on Nintendo 64,they have it!
Ryan CampbellMarch 27, 2018Great place for bar games, they are all located in the back. Fun vibes here.
Michael PilchJanuary 24, 2017Decent beer selection, but you should come here to hang out with friends and play giant Jenga or Connect 4
KWOTE SCRIPTURESSeptember 26, 2013Cool venue. Nice stage and couches in the back. Good wait staff on hand. Would visit again.
Moire PlentiFebruary 14, 2014Really awesome couches and giant TVs in the back. Kinda like someone's living room made into a bar.
- Gotham City Karaoke league nights are where it's at! Especially Tuesday nights!
DrewskiJuly 24, 2016Lots of space and good beer selection, but in that weird Penn-Station-bar-area and has that feel to it.- IF YOU CAN BEAT SECURITY 1 ON 1 IN SUPER SMASH HE WILL BUY YOU A DRINK
Mike ShermanOctober 26, 2017Wait in line in the cold to play videogames you have in a box in your parents' basement with drinking the same booze you get everywhere
angry natalieApril 12, 2013Time stops here. Wait 15min for the bartender to see that you'd like a beer -- though it might be your last, as they should go out of business soon.
Michael MelliAugust 21, 2013Surprising interior after a neon infused facade. One or two decent craft beers. Popcorn. Ok place.
