Good drink selection, some fun games well suited for all ages, and a neat electric vibe in the downtown area. Would be perfect for a large party. Some games are worn bit still fun to play. The retro games offer a nice perk that...Read More

I’d give this place 10 stars if I could. Here randomly on a Sunday night to unwind and decompress and I’m pleasantly surprised to find out my bill is slashed by 50% because I work in the restaurant industry. This is a true bar for...Read More

So, we haven’t been here in months and tonight it was VERY different. Bartender didn’t know how to make a cherry vodka sour, both games I pictured took our money and didn’t work, also the first ski ball machine. Multiple games and the floor were...Read More

Rec Room was an instant favorite from day one. The atmosphere is perfect for the location and the ownership is top notch. Also, Rosie, Matty, Conrad, Mallori, Alex, Honey and the entire bartending crew are the best in town. Big thanks to Conn, Barrett, Ripley, and everyone...Read More

We had a 25 people event for a birthday party, rented out the outdoor patio, and we couldn't have been happier having it at Rec Room. Paige was our event coordinator. She was very thorough in explaining the process, communicating and more than helpful during...Read More

We had a birthday party there. Everything went amazing. Paige was awesome to work with. Christian and Conrad were our bartenders for our party. They were very helpful and welcoming to everyone in our party. I recommend having a party there.

Really broke down gaming arena. Many of the games were either broken entirely, partially, or missing pieces. Way over priced some games cost $6 per person per play. Save your money and go somewhere that is decently maintained.

Fun atmosphere to take friends and even a date night. All the workers are fun and easy to talk to. You can play video games at the bar or play some old school games as well.

Cute little hole in the wall arcade bar. Not very many games in this place, half we're broken or out of order. Credits are decently ($5 for 50 credits) priced to play games, but then it's like 15-20 credits to play a single game. Bartender...Read More

Nice little arcade bar with a small but decent selection of classic arcade games, and drinks. We only had one drink but the bartender was a nice guy. The only thing that bothered me and my wife was that the entire floor was sticky? Found that...Read More

Loved it. The Rec Room is the best spot to play games, and hang out with you friends. The drinks were reasonable, with signature drinks starting at 8 dollars and moving up to 12. This spot features ping pong, video games,darts, and all of your...Read More
