We come here nearly monthly before catching a show at Playhouse Square. The food is decent, the drinks are very good and the staff is very friendly and capable. We started coming for the convenience but it is now like our own Cheers - we are very comfortable and the staff go out of their way to be nice and welcoming.

Such a fun experience! The food was incredible! If you have a horror movie fan, you have to take them! They have a purge birthday experience as well, which was such a fun little thing. I also appreciated that they could tell my autistic son was not excited about the characters, and they didn't go up to him! Would definitely come back!
