What a lovely fun venue. So many different spaces for you to chill whilst still have fun. I went for a karaoke birthday 🎂 party so much fun, then went into the bar where the music was a hiit. Definitely recommend 👌.

We had a blast with the private karaoke room and interactive darts. Only feedback is the ventilation in the karaoke rooms is so poor and the one fan is not enough. We were HOT and sticky and not in a good way 😅 song selections were excellent though, plenty of options.

It's is a decent spot for bowling, karaoke, arcade games, or just grabbing a drink. They also have an American-style diner menu, but we didn’t try the food—just had a couple of drinks before bowling. Unfortunately, the drinks are seriously overpriced. The bowling is priced either per hour (good for groups) or per game (better for smaller groups like ours). The overall vibe of the place could be improved, but we still managed to have fun. It’s an okay venue, but with some tweaks to the atmosphere and more reasonable drink prices, it could be a lot better.
