Crybaby

A group of us came in for a family vacation … we started at the bar with a few drinks, everyone ordered off the menu. I had our bartender Cam Make me a specialty cocktail special to my allergy which I love. He was super friendly fast and my special cocktail was maxing well mixed, and got me right. The pricing for the rooms are excellent. We had a great time ! And will be back next time we’re in Atlanta ! CAM ROCKS !!

We visited this black owned establishment on Thursday, August 25, 2022. Upon arrival we parked in the nice free parking lot right in front of the establishment. This business is located off of Ponce de Leon Road. However, it is tucked away so ensure that your GPS has the exact address so you can find it. With that being said, there is a neon sign and another big sign that informs you to go to the back of the building for the establishment entrance. Upon arrival, they do have a Heartbreaker food truck right outside which sells food from 9 PM until closing. Upon entry it was clean, modern, and spacious. They did not charge a cover charge. We were greeted by the hostess and purchased one hour of VR time which was $43 with tax. We already ate prior to coming, so we decided to play the VR game and get a drink from the bar. Once we purchased our game, it took a few minutes for our room to be ready since the hostess had to sanitize it and the equipment with Lysol. They have rooms for 1-5 people and also rooms for up to 10 people to play. Once the room was ready, we received a brief tutorial on how to use all of the joysticks and headset by the hostess. It wasn’t that crowded on a Thursday evening close to opening time, but I can tell this establishment gets pretty busy. I would say especially on the weekends and late at night. There were many patrons that came in and just wanted to have a drink at the bar and relax. They were playing a myriad of hit songs, which flowed very well and complemented the ambience. It is a bit dark inside and does have a red glare, which sets the tone for a rave type of experience. We were able to select the games we wanted to play on the screen. The VR aspect was very fun and interactive. I did take a star off because the food making game would not allow me to pick up hamburgers out of the refrigerator, so I wasn’t able to play this game. Also we wanted to play the sword slasher game, but it was very glitchy and in French so we couldn’t understand it. We did bring this to the attention of the hostess who stated the game was a bit glitchy. She informed us of alternatives to it, which she pointed out for us to play instead. The alternative was another similar slasher type game and very fun. My favorite games were definitely the fruit ninja game and the dance game, which were quite fun. I feel that if you’re going to be charge $40 an hour, all of the games should work. Some of the games do require that you do a tutorial to learn how to actually play the games, but this does take up quite a bit of time. This can cut into your room time that you purchased. Also keep in mind that only one person can play the game at once, so you have to take turns with the headset. Overall I felt this was a very fun experience and a great mid week activity. This is definitely a hidden gem that many people do not know about. I love that this establishment is black owned. The hostess was very professional and helpful to us. She checked on us and provided us with the assistance we needed as we were playing our games. She did bring us a drink menu and we did order a Mojito slushy and the Lean on me carbonated cocktail. The drinks were brought out shortly after ordering. The Lean on me carbonated cocktail was pretty strong, but did remind me of a spicy margarita. This is due to it having a spicy pineapple flavor. The Mojito slushy was really delicious and I wish I would’ve gotten this. I do recommend the Mojito slushy because it’s refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet. I wasn’t charged for these drinks directly. I’m not sure if the drinks come with the VR room time or not. I also didn’t do a running tab either. I do feel like this was a unique experience to do in Atlanta. I wouldn’t mind returning for the Heartbreaker food truck. I would recommend this establishment to groups or even for a nice fun date night. You could also come here solo, rent out an hour or two of playing time, and have a nice drink. You could even maybe have some food from the Heartbreaker food truck if you come from 9 PM onward.

Enjoyed myself! It was a dope bar. It does get a lot of requests for the VR experience so it depends on when you get there to see the wait time. Now you can RSVP if you have a larger group and it would less expensive as well. The system itself is very sensitive and sometimes the haptic feedback is a little slow. Love the music that was playing, and nice decor. Drinks were a little pricey but they serve beer, some wine, and liquor. No food, but you can pay for snacks such as popcorn, or pretzels. Nice trendy crowd, upbeat music, and the parking is not the largest. It is located behind a building so it it not visible from the main road so look ever so closely for that left or right turn depending on which direction you are travelling. Its behind the stores that are being renovated adjacent to the frames shop to the main road.

First thing I’ll say is the drinks were good … VR was fun once we finally got it calibrated and working …. The service was good … I had an issue with my tab and they fixed it immediately. If you start a tab make sure you check your receipt… they fixed it so all is well.. I would say if you want to do VR get there before 11 because after 11 it get crowded.. DJ was good , good mixture of music… I would go back but earlier so I can play more games .

Came here with another couple, and we all had a blast. It was the first VR bar experience I’ve had, but I’m sure it’s far from the last. It was a pretty cool experience overall. The headset was pretty uncomfortable though, and if I’m being honest, I’d say that I think that the games could’ve been a little less glitchy when the time limit is as firm as it is. (We ran into an issue with two of the games freezing up). That aside, I would definitely say this is an engaging spot to bring friends to play games and enjoy quality time out and about! Try it out for sure!

Ugh, I was really looking forward to this place, but was really let down. It has an awesome vibe and layout, but their sign-in system, video game glitches, and service needs to be improved greatly. Our original wait time was supposed to be 30 minutes, but ended up being almost an hour because of various technical issues. When we finally got our booth, the game froze and was not responsive twice causing us to get help to reboot the system. This cut into our play time which was not compensated. I thought this was unfair and such a bummer. By the end of the experience, I was just fed up with this place and wanted to leave to go someplace else. Good concept, but poorly executed.

Fun and original place. Took off one star for less than stellar drinks. The music was great and so was the VR experience.

I loved my karaoke experience. The room was spacious and different than other experiences that I've had! The decor was light and fun and the cocktails were phenomenal! The only thing I recommend is calling before you go because their hours may not always match up, but otherwise it was a great experience for me and my friend!
