I’ll be filing a discrimination suit. Thanks for kicking me out bc I had two drinks. I am a big girl who leaned against a table that moved. Look forward to our lawyers talking ;)

This place so the most RACIST establishment in the St. Louis region. They are extremely racist toward black people especially Black men. I was accused of roofing people without any sort of evidence and I was kicked out just like that.

Spent much money throughout the afternoon/evening. Supported the cardinals and blues with them. Upstairs did not have the game systems working, each wii remote dead and the system had ZERO games prepared. Waste of money. In frustration, laid down on the couch to exhale a breathe (literally one decompressing breathe) and reset mentality to try and enjoy the evening (post midnight). In that moment of despair and frustration, bouncer came up to kick us out because in his words “we did not fit the dynamic of the evening”. Not joking, that’s verbatim. Back to downstairs but still wanted to have a good night and spend money, we were then told to leave the premises for a similar reason. The feeling of disrespect was extremely unexpected and we still don’t know where it came from. This is not an environment we plan to be around again, and will be taking our business to Up Down for gaming bars and just about anywhere else downtown for our time. The owners of Start Bar and Wheelhouse are the same so we also will not be spending any time or money at wheelhouse either. Huge bummer for them. 0/10 recommend, even if you fit their description for the crowd they went to attract. Sorry to disappoint as the price and vibes are not worth it whatsoever.

Strange it was as empty as it was on a Saturday of a cardinals home game. Kitchen was closed, place was okay

Questions & Answers

Can kids go there

Kiara Garvin | Oct 17, 2019
Andrew G | Oct 17, 2019

I wouldn't advise it considering it's designed to be a space for adults free of children. People are not going to hold back and little Timmy might learn some new words.

Is it walk-in and can you play games without booking a party room? And how does game play work? Do you pay separately for each game you play, similar to bowling?

They often turn games on free play, often on weekdays. I'm not sure what the exact schedule is for it, but I've often walked in to find the games are free.

What time does the kitchen close on the weekends

Dwayne Russell | Oct 17, 2019
Kirk Heppe | Oct 17, 2019

Good question. I would guess 1AM. Only way to know for sure is to call and ask though.

What games do they have there?

MasterKlaw | Oct 17, 2019
Kyle Origliosso | Oct 17, 2019

House of the dead 1 and 2, ski ball, the Simpsons arcade, some claw machines, air hockey, and some other older arcade cabinets. Also there is an upstairs area with Nintendo 64s that you can rent hourly.

Is there an air hockey table?

They close your tab at the end of the night. I'm pretty sure they add 20% gratuity.
