CLOSED FOR GOOD!

It's so absolutely sad to see this place close down for good. At the beginning, it had employees that genuinely cared about the place and were enthusiastic about fixing and maintaining the games. An unfortunate situation developed that saw the better half of the staff quit and move on. Management changed. Machines on lease were given back, Machine maintenance had effectively stopped, they stopped having DJs, removed the popular niche games and didnt maintain the ones they had. I'm glad to have been there while it was amazing and got to meet the great Staff that made it great. I used to come here EVERY Saturday I possibly could back when there LINES to play games. I'm very saddened to see it go, they didn't even have a farewell party. RIP Circuit you were the only I wanted to run to

They steal tips from servers then fire them. When I asked them about this on their Facebook, they deleted my comments and blocked me from their page.

They let the place go. In the end most of the games were broken. Now it is closed. Maintaining these arcade machines is expensive and time consuming! I appreciate what you tried to do!

What happened to this place? More than half the games were broken. This place feels like it never recovered from pandemic. It makes me super sad because this was one of my favorite places back in 2019.

Half the machines are out. Those that are available are taken. No clean glasses… to pour yourself.

Fun with great beer selection, but half the games are broken, and bathrooms are a disaster.

Fun idea, but the bar is clearly in disrepair. There was one staff member working or even there, that poor man. Most beers were not available, most machines were turned off, not working, or would just eat your coins. The women's room was disgusting, dirty, and in huge disrepair with broken stalls and the soap dispenser literally torn off the wall. The place was crowded and full of friendly people, but I could tell everyone was disappointed because everything was just broken and ill-run.

Total disappointment....most of the games were out of order, others appeared to work but just ate the tokens, half the taps were empty, no kitchen staff appeared to be present.
