Description

Great place to play games like Foosball, scrabble, billiards, checkers, chess, ping pong or shuffle board for cheap rates (from 9 cents a minute to $1 per game).

Has a very casual, NOT upscale, atmosphere. A great place to go for fun if you like to have fun...right?

Tips

  • Check the web calendar for the evening's (free!) music: 95% "kosher" blues and jazz.
  • $2 for most games. Chess cost $2 to get the king and queen pieces. You can play as long as you want.
  • Ping-pong is $11 per hour.
  • They also have pool and shuffleboard.
  • Coke is $2 for a can. Water in a glass is free (they told one user that it was filtered). You can not bring in outside drinks but you can bring in outside food.
  • When one user went they did not have Regular Coke or Sprite. They had Diet Coke and Seltzer. This may vary by the day.
  • It is near NYU so it gets a little full late at night with a non-tznius crowd but it's not too bad. It gets loud on some nights. If want to talk you may only spend an hour or so here
  • One user found it nice and quiet until around 7pm. They had live entertainment starting at 7 which made it a bit loud. More people started coming in as it got later (after 7). It is kind of dark but there are a few scrabble/chess tables with bright lights on top.
  • was there once, the place was VERY GRUNGY and met a VERY LOW CLASS CROWD. not dangerous per se. don't think most girls would appreciate it.
  • On the way in, they stamp your (and your guest's...) hand with a 3 inch stamp with the store's logo. (Not so easy to come off...)
