New place with good food, plenty of seating outdoor and in, an arcade, axe throwing, and virtual golf. Location is off of 42 and away from the heavy traffic. A good place to watch games with plenty of brews on tap. More

Good place to have food, drinks and play some games with the family. Not a lot of game selection.
A lot of food selections to try. Overall, a good place to spend a few hours. More

Ordered pizza to go and was charged a $3 svc fee after ordering $60 worth of food and beer. The pizza wasn't great. My wings were good but lacking sauce. The chicken sandwich and eggrolls were good. I would go back for the delicious ice … More

Mediocre food. Overcooked fries. Slow service at the bar. My wife was reprimanded for bringing in a water bottle when the staff clearly has outside food and drink in the dining area. Paper towel dispenser in men's bathroom doesn't work. At least 2 of the claw machines are broken. More

Love the "tater bombs" loaded tater tots! Fun atmosphere. Service totally depends on who you get, some are great (more mature servers), some just come back for the check. Based on 5 visits More

Came here for the first time yesterday just to shoot some pool. The pool tables, in my opinion, should be relocated to a different area. Every single time we went to shoot we had to pause because a child was running by with no supervision … More

Good atmosphere. Good service.
Food was bland. It wasn't bad, rather it lacked flavor and seasoning. More

My wife and I had an amazing lunch at Mulligans. We sat in one of their many outdoor tables. This newly built restaurant has great atmosphere either inside or outside. There is a very large parking lot and easy access just off Highway 42. … More

I hardly ever give any reviews under 3 stars. I know almost all of my reviews are 5 because as a business owner, I know the impact of them. But the reality here is that we had a large group of 12, and the service was truly poor. They threw … More

Food and drinks were really good (fish and chips, Irish egg rolls, Reuben sandwich, and cocktails) and our service was excellent (I believe our server was JD)! Definitely recommend for couples, families, or groups. Can't wait to come back during music or game nights! More

The only thing better than the food and atmosphere is the service! All of the staff is amazing. Our server, Suzanne, was phenomenal. She made us feel extremely welcome and gave perfect recommendations for food choices. The burgers are top tier and they are very child friendly! Our family will definitely be back! More

If you are going for the arcade, there isnt much there. They will take away 10 credits even if you use cash and it gives you a card that keeps track of your tickets. Just be aware that 5 dollars gets you 20 credits to which you will … More
