Once inside, Joystick, the staff is very warm and friendly; there is an intimate size bar for easy conversating and loads of retro arcade games. Here you can play multiple games from anywhere, from Mortal Kombat 2 shooting games for only a quarter. It's a great place to go and kind of challenge your friends and become the game champion for the night. It is also a great place to go if you're looking to go on a date, instead of the traditional movie night, making it easy to know each other. Also, you can partake in many of the cocktail and food selections that they have which are pretty tasty. Then if you aren't up for playing an arcade game, they have board games, Jenga, and pinball machines. 

Another significant element at Joystick is that they have community tables that make it easy for you to come with friends or go by yourself to interact with other people nearby and even ask them if they would like to play a game or two. 

The atmosphere inside of Joystick is, what I would say, is very laid back, where everyone is doing their own thing and enjoying themselves. On my last visit, we went as a large group and mingled with other people who were already there at Joystick. Everyone is fair about waiting their turn to play the next round; there are no game hoggers, so that's a great thing. 

You can enjoy yourself at Joystick reasonably cheaply; the food and drinks are inexpensive but tasty. You might end up spending more money playing games than you intended because you didn't realize you were going to have that much fun. However, the games are only twenty-five cents apiece, and those are the ones that are the arcades or pinballs; everything else is pretty much a board game, you don't have to pay to play.
