Barflyy Retro Bar And Arcade

"Prices are decent, atmosphere is neat, and met some cool folks while there partying. Just a few complaints: I feel like I am just repeating a common theme, but per my experience I think it important to include that indeed security staff are pretty rude. I was yelled at for moving a barstool to sit on. Like what? Never would have thought. Another thing is, although outside is tolerable in terms of noise, inside on the dance floor it gets loud. And I mean loud, like after a couple of hours your ears will be ringing and you will be checking to see if they are bloody. Also, the food looked pretty rancid, but they did have a good selection of drinks. I feel like the reviews on here are either really good or really bad but my honest experience is that it was just plain decent for a college bar."

"This place has a super great atmosphere with sweet lights, a great dancefloor, and well known party bangers always playing. The ladies who bartend are very friendly and make drinks well. While I had a great time, there are a few things to mention: Almost all of the security guards are incredibly rude. I get that it's a serious job, but the first time I went there when they checked my ID they shoved it back in my hands without saying anything and none of the 6 or 7 guards standing outside would answer me when I asked if I was good to go in. I asked multiple times, and they deliberately ignored me. They also will straight up run into you to get across the dancefloor, and some of them glare persistently while you're dancing. And I mean GLARE. Like, every time you look over they're doing it. Second point: this place is NOT the environment for you if you like preserving the functionality of your eardrums. Perhaps this goes without saying when it comes to bars, but the music is LOUD. Often painfully so. First time I went I had to put in my wireless earbuds with no sound just so I could keep myself from rupturing an eardrum at the Tetris machine. At one point in the night they turned up the volume when it was already uncomfortably loud, to the point everyone had to type drink orders on their phone and shout repeatedly into people's ears. I went there last night. It's the afternoon now and my ears are still ringing. So, yeah. It's a great place to party if you can ignore the guards and tolerate the uproar. Personally I think it's worth the trouble because the people I met were awesome and the energy in the club is electric."

"Great New place to hang out in downtown Kent. Drinks were reasonably priced and service was fantastic! Really love the retro gameroom. The games are all 80's and 90's arcade games be (Pacman, Frogger, Defender, etc) and all of them are free. This really adds to a very entertaining evening. We went early (4PM) so we could bring our son in (7 years old). He had a blast. This place is my new favorite local hangout!!!"

"We took our kids here today and we thought it was great. The food was good, the atmosphere was fun and free arcade games are fantastic! Just know that kids under 18 are only allowed until 5 p.m."

"Tremendous improvement over bar 145 and a welcome addition to Kent. Bartenders were very attentitive, lounge areas are great, free games can't be beat. Pics are of draft pours on two different days, I appreciate the nod to safety as I'm not likely to accidently spill on myself. Additionally, even though I'm not Catholic, the mass on TV was refreshing...you just don't get that in other bars on a Friday night. Came in on Sunday during the Browns game and no TVs at the bar had the game on. I'll be back. Can't wait for summer with the windows open and/or sitting on the patio."
