Imagine a world full of pinball machines, chalkboard tables to doodle on, and an insanely large Kool-Aid man waiting for a selfie. The Poison Girl has these attractions as it welcomes customers with its fiery red walls and hippie environment. Have a shot of your favorite vodka or rum, while trying out some beers from local brewers they offer weekly. It not only accommodates the drinkers, but the smokers as well with a large backyard patio filled with vintage art and a stage for live performances. They also hold many different theme nights with live DJ’s.

Okay, so it’s not everyday that you find a bar dedicated to Comicon lovers and video game nerds. However, Neil’s Bahr is one rare place for any and everyone (over 21 of course) to have an unforgettable experience partying with someone dressed as Darth Vader. The owner Neil Fernandez got the name of the bar from his own, as well as the 19th century physicist Niel’s Bohr. With a comic book library, foosball tables, and free Nintendo, you’ll relive your childhood days while enjoying being a grown up with an ice-cold beer. Battle with friends playing board and card games galore, and challenge your intellect on special Trivia Nights. If you’re looking to sit back and relax, catch old and new classics like Lord of the Rings or an episode of Family Guy on their plasma screens.

There’s only one place where you can find a vintage arcade, sports bar, and club all in one; Kung Fu Saloon. They provide a full bar with 24 beers on tap, but don’t worry about driving home since they also provide free Uber rides on their website for up to $20. The drinking doesn’t stop there. Every month the Saloon has an event called ‘Drink for a Cause’ where they donate 15% of their sales for that day to a local charity. Some of these include Special Olympics, American Red Cross, Pup Squad Animal Rescue, and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Keep your tab open and enjoy free play on 17 Vintage arcade games like Mortal Kombat, NBA Showtime, and Galaga. Even though you have to pay a small fee for Mario Kart, there’s always the other option to play giant board games like Jenga and Connect 4. Wind down your inner kid with food like Cheeseburger Eggrolls, Wonton Mozzarella Sticks, or the ‘Kung Fu Classic’ Philly Cheesesteak. Before you leave, don’t forget to take time for a little singing in their private Karaoke rooms.
