Step into this vibrant, neon-lit bar and arcade where vintage games meet crafty cocktails, making it the perfect hangout to unwind and enjoy a fun night with friends.
"Playing Super Smash Bros. (drunk) on a giant projector is objectively more fun than playing it on your couch. So The Detour in Duboce Triangle is the obvious choice for a night out. The video game tournaments at this massive barcade are on Mondays, which is when you should expect to get overly competitive with strangers while drinking excellent cocktails and eating snacks with an Asian twist like adobo wings and mapo tofu and rice. Since this place is here to make you forget that real-world responsibilities exist, they also host board game nights and drag bingo, and are stocked with every arcade game ever made.

"You can learn a lot about someone’s character by sticking them in a room full of arcade games. Are they the overly competitive type who will chuck a drink at the Pac-Man machine if things don’t go their way? Find out at The Detour. This Duboce Triangle bar has everything from Skee-Ball and Tetris to Super Smash Bros. tournaments on Mondays. Asian-influenced snacks like popcorn chicken, lumpia, and adobo wings are on hand when all that gaming makes you hungry. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Break the ice with someone you might spend the rest of your life with by obliterating them in Super Smash Bros. The Detour, a Duboce Triangle barcade, hosts weekly events like Smash Bros. tournaments, drag bingo, and board game nights—prime opportunities to brush hands with a cutie during an intense round of Codenames. Basically, get here when you need to swap doom-swiping for organized fun and cold hard face-to-face interaction." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
"Ever wanted to play Mario Kart in front of random strangers? This Duboce Triangle bar hosts Super Smash Bros. tournaments on Mondays. If you’re not in the mood to chuck banana peels at people (virtually, of course), watch the action play out on the big projector screen. On non-tournament nights The Detour still offers plenty to do—every arcade game invented is lined up against the wall. Come with a date or friends to reveal your cutthroat competitive side while trying to score high on Pac-Man or Skee-ball. " - julia chen 1, will kamensky
