I come here to have a safe spot and feel better after bad days. It is my favorite spot in riverside... it is my favorite spot in all of Jacksonville.
Yesterday I went for the first time and the place is too good if you are a fan of all kinds of video games, especially fighting ones, it's my new favorite place lol
Great food! The chicken sliders are delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders. If you are a fan of video games/anime come take a seat at the bar, watch anime, eat great food, and meet some people. You wont regret it.
If you are looking for a fun place to go for video game tournaments or to just hang out and talk with the patrons, I would HIGHLY recommend checking this place out! I went there for the first time with my friends a couple days ago and the owner and bartender on shift were extremely welcoming and fun to talk to!! I will definitely be returning here for more ggst tournaments and to just hang out with friends!!
