Walk past the arcade games and the fishy smell to the tiki lounge in the back. The bar has open seating and awesome views on Alcatraz and the bay. :-)

Arcade games, bathrooms outside the restaurant. Go to the tiki lounge in the back. Amazing views of Alcatraz and usually quiet. Bartenders are always awesome, tiki cocktails with a happy hour

Nice place to have fun with the kids...games are way to expensive though.all the good games are 6 to 8 tokens for one play. Plus before 6pm u get one hour free parking or 2 hours after 6pm

Ask to sit in back, great view of Alcatraz. The Teriyaki chicken with rice and veggies was great!

2) Mgr jumped in to assist overwhelmed bartenders & we asked if we could order food at the bar. He said yes, but never took our order. Other than paying the check we were ignored.

The veggie burger is good. Bet the meat burgers are too. And get a beer flight!

They won't give you back money for unused tokens, so make sure you get the right amount.

Be sure to check the tiki bar out back. That is where the view is!!

Plan to spend some serious coinage (seems like most games cost $2)

The food is expensive for the value, and the service is just ok. Fun for the kids, but the games are also expensive.

1) Horrible service. Overheard on bartender tell a customer to "Get the F--k out" not once but at least 3 times. This bartender completely ignored us and seemed ill-equipped to handle a busy bar.

Make sure you redeem tickets at the back counter!

If u like old, dusty & outdated games...this is the place for u... the video games here suck! You only get 5 tickets on skee ball with a score of 23,000 even after hitting the 10,000 target...wtf?!?

Enjoyed the cocktails at this Sports Bar.

Crab cakes are $16 and you only get two. Not worth it.
Frank CarsonOctober 20, 2013
The bar tender here right now sucks ass!

Nice arcade and grill
Matt MorrisJune 25, 2013
Meh, service is slow even though it wasn't busy at all. Food is alright. Games are expensive!
Ray ClaireNovember 27, 2011
Terrible arcade unless you like ticket games, DDR, or Raw Thrills games. Even then, prices rival that of a typical GameWorks ($1.50 for 3 songs on DDR).
Andrew SchleisSeptember 11, 2011
Actually, JD has mad bartender skills. Jimmy can't hold a candle to JD!

'Fish and Chips' is fine.

They skimp of the shrimp in their shrimp cobb, not worth it

The local nickname for this place is the 'Racist Arcade'. Ask around.
