In all honesty I dont drink so my ability to rate bars on the booze factor are quite limited. Generally when Im in a bar its someone elses idea. Given that if I like a place its likely a good thing since really people that do drink have limited criteria for a bar, Do they have booze? Can I drink without going broke? How likely am I to get killed in a bar fight?... alright the last one is probably thought about less than the first two.

Service is really nice. You can book tables ahead of time and its free, but they require a credit card, which they will charge if you dont show up. It can get kind of busy later in the evening, but its pretty low key before 8.Play

I never leave reviews on google but i had to say something about this spot. Absolutely amazing place!! Food and drinks are extremely good and priced so cheap!!! The owner Brian is so friendly and welcoming! Couldn’t say more about him, he takes pride in his business and it shows through his generosity and level of customer appreciation!!! Will definitely be back!!!

My friend found Play online looking for a nearby barcade for his birthday. This place has some good ideas but the execution seems half-hearted. Its attached to an 18+ club so the layout reflected that. The entrance that says Play is locked. You have to go past the clubs line to enter.Inside, the arcade cabinets are not old machines. Theyre too small for adults to use comfortably. I ordered a Tom Collins, which the bartender did not know how to make. He asked me about a couple of ingredients, and I ended up getting something that tasted more like a gin and tonic. It was $12 and not very good.The bar does have a massive projected screen with a Nintendo Switch hooked up to it, which was cool. We ended up playing Super Smash Bros with a couple other people. The controllers were third party though and had broken shoulder buttons, and there was a massive amount of input lag playing the game. My group left to go to another bar shortly after.

I wish I had known about Play while I was at Mansion because I would have loved to grub on some tacos while on a night out!Play is located inside Mansion in what used to be a small little bar with some really funky Alice in Wonderland themed decor. I had the intention of going back there since it had been over 2 years since my last visit but was surprised to see a revamp of the location into Play.Play exclusively spins electronic music and on the night I came to visit they were bumping some house music.Notably, their tacos are the main source of attraction! I mean, where else can you get some tacos inside a club in Southern California?!Overall, would give this place another chance now that I know what goods are inside, but I do have to say that making the trip down here may not necessarily be the top choice for a night out when I could very well just go bar hopping and grab some tacos on the way home.

Brian is legit the friendly bartender one can ask for. The tacos are awesome plus with the video games it makes it a lay back place to be.

Fun atmosphere with everything from old arcade games to newer systems, plus a covered outside area that has a large jenga set and cornhole. Their Taco Tuesdays are a great deal if you are going to try it out.
