Kien Nguyen: Shuffleboard, giant jenga, connect four, and bingo revived in the best way possible. Awesome decor, good vibes, friendly hipsters. And don't forget to check out the photo booth in the back!
Kelsey✨: Great for groups, parties, special occasions, etc; but the wait time for the shuffleboard court is unreal. Get there early if you actually want to play
Danley Hu: Fun and great for group events. Our waitress was definitely not the friendliest. Also make sure to eat before coming, the only food available is an indoor food truck serving Lebanese food.
