Devo LFebruary 16, 2013Rock that Simpsons pinball in the back room. See if you're good enough to handle Independence Day.
elizabeth mackeySeptember 18, 2011Where we spent many an afternoon, early on in our relationship playing pinball. Before we had our own pinball table.
Fox BarrelMay 12, 2011The Fox Barrel Pear Cider is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!
They use a lot of sweet & sour in their cocktails...heartburn city here we come!
Pratheeksha KSAugust 21, 2016I was manhandled by the bouncers and the staff and when I opposed that I got kicked out of the bar. All my friends were inside and it was my going away party. Shittiest experience ever.
Pedro Couto e SantosMarch 1, 2016Nice place, but in all honesty, I don't really like music that loud.
Do a pinball bar crawl here, at Gestalt on 16th, and Zeitgeist and Delerium.
Maggie MasonMay 8, 2009Is it between 5-9 p.m.? Settle in for happy hour(s) at a very chill Elbo Room. ($2 draft pint, or $1 off drinks) Leave with a photo booth strip to tack on the fridge.
- Hector AldanaAugust 17, 2013Girl at the door was very uninviting. Girl at the door did not return my money. I would rather go to other bars for better entertainment and light life
Pinballs aren't well maintained and all the sounds are turned off 😞
Fun place to hang out at... And one of the bartenders was so so so nice!
Amanda MarkellNovember 16, 2013This place is pretty crowded. One could say there's not a lot of "elbow room"
Natalia VasquezFebruary 6, 2012The short fugly bartender won't accept that the customer is always right don't tip jer
- Kim OwensOctober 19, 2012I've seen too many bands here to count, but the stand out shows, all in the 90s, were Catherine Wheel, Soupdragons and Garbage.
V-Ness LittleNovember 11, 2011I think it might be a special for tonight only (Thursday, Afrofunkalicious) but $3.50 for a red stripe
XiulungApril 14, 2013The start button on Galaga seems to be stuck. I settled for Ms Pac man like a chump
L Y D I AJuly 29, 2010Shutter--once a month awesome 80s industrial dance tunes. Think the Cure and Depeche Mode. Dress your finest and shake your ass on stage.
Dalton CrosthwaitNovember 7, 2011Saturday night = Soul Night! Best time to be upstairs on the dance floor.
IanJuly 13, 2013Don't order the pineapple caipirinha (yuck!). The beer is cheap and a better option.

"90s music, $15 for 1 cocktail but actually you get 2 drinks worth so totally worth it. If you like tequila get the lobo. It's a great time everytime"

"Nice, light, not-super-sweet pear cider on tap. I forget the name."
