$24 first time fee with 3 hours included. $6 per hour after you become a member. Computers aren't bad at all. They close pretty late as well

I like this place and it is open late . It's fun to play CSGO or StarCraft again. They have gamer food like hot pockets and shin ramen and drinks if u get hungry . You do need to purchase a membership and it cost 6$ an hour.

I went here with my wife and her cousin to relax and catch up on some game time and to connect. Front desk check in is very easy and quick. My wife and I already had accounts but her cousin had to get set up with a one time fee life time membership of 24$ that comes with three hours of game time! If you already have a membership, it’s $6 an hour. Average snacks for a gamer, such as energy drinks, ramen and hot pockets from what we indulged in. Overall, never had a problem here. Just make sure you log out of all your accounts before your time runs out!

My personal go to cyber cafe. These guys have the best prices. They got your snacks and drinks, and if you still need more fuel, there's plenty of restaurants in the area. The staff are friendly and keep the place clean. I personally like ordering sandwiches from the subway next door and grabbing it after my game.

The only thing cheaper would be to build your own rig... But that also has a higher upfront cost, so for those who are more than happy with a solid sesh a few times a month, this is the spot.

As for the systems... Well, they can play 2k at 120fps with low settings. I don't recall the specs, but they personally feel they picked the right balance of power vs necessity. They can make the games look pretty and be above 60-90fps, I'm just a twitch gamer and want it buttery smooth.

Overall, if you're looking for a place to game, give these guys a chance.

$16 for a membership with 3 hrs of play, when your time is up you can pay $4 for extra +1 hours or pay $16 for 5 hours! Let's say you want to go home before your hours are up you can always come back another day, log back in and your hours you didnt use roll over.
It's my first time coming to one of these internet cafes! The staff is friendly and the environment is chill. Will come again for sure.

A subpar experience.

Overall, this is a great opportunity for people who wants to spend time with friends or alone playing some games. It's decently priced at the moment. But this company severely lacks consumer awareness on what they have to offer in terms of their games and the practices of their employees could be better.

For example, before checking the place out, I had to sift through a Facebook page to learn more about the establishment. A website would be nice (and one that shows the "90 preinstalled titles"). Additionally, their phone number doesn't offer this information since it leads to an automated service. So I took the risk of checking it out hoping a game was installed that I wanted to play (which was Destiny 2).

When I arrived I saw their rules on the establishment having to install games through steam that weren't provided their platform. That's fine, I don't expect there to be every game installed. I sign up for a membership and learn the game I want to play is not installed. I go ahead and download it through steam which comes out to 110+GB. After the install (which took around an hour and a half and i couldnt play other games since that would stop the download) I noticed my credits were almost out. So I went to go purchase more time to play the game I installed (5 hours to play Destiny).

The employee behind the counter was arguing with someone on the phone for awhile during the time I was installing my game. When I went to purchase more credits I was standing at the counter for what felt like a few minutes before they acknowledged me. I'm not trying to be difficult, it was just awkward, it just felt unprofessional even in the setting.

My favorite part was when I went to play my game, it launched and after a few minutes I was met with BattleEye closing the game and mentioning NetLimiter was detected and a disallowed program (which makes sense). I brought this to the attention of the employee, they clicked on the "OK" button and said, "there's nothing I can do, I'll let me boss know." They went back to their seat and started back on their personal conversation again.

So now this rubbed me the wrong way.
1) I wasn't given info about what could and couldn't be played. If I had known about this I would have never brought my business (i.e a simple website accomplishes this or a better social platform presence).
2) When the employee treats you like you're a nuisance because you ask a few questions or need help.
3) You purchase $50+ worth of time to play the game you spent time downloading on to be told you can't and there's nothing we'll do to help you.

I played a game for a bit to not let the experience be a total loss. After all, I'm not from the area.

Would I recommend this place? If you're unable to purchase a computer or build one yourself or have many people attend an event you want to play with, then maybe. Else absolutely not.

First time here so bought the family for some game time! Love this place, very clean, all the pc work, staff are friendly and very helpful even to a noob like me. Love that they have snack section, tried their cup ramen so good while playing some pubg. Will be back very soon!
