The Detour - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! There's lots of seating and a huge variety of arcade games to play. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was friendly and playful. They even host various game nights, including bingo. It's a fun place to hang out with friends, drink, and play games.

My experience at the restaurant involved paying $18 for a pre-made cocktail that came out of a tap. 🙄 I believe even establishments like TGI Fridays and Outback Steakhouse prepare their cocktails from scratch.

My experience at this restaurant was awesome! The vibe of the place was fantastic, with a large selection of old school arcade games that are all reasonably priced per play, some as low as 25c. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect score of 5.

My experience at this fun video game bar was surprisingly good, especially considering the food. The Island BBQ pizza was the best. The atmosphere was a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a 5 out of 5. It was loud, but you could still hold a conversation.

My experience at the restaurant involved an issue with the bouncer. It seems he lacks the ability to properly decipher a driver's license, and instead of handling the situation professionally, he resorted to screaming at people. This was a very negative aspect of the service.

My partner and I had a good time at this cool barcade. We shared the daily special and enjoyed some NA drinks. The establishment offers a good variety of games, including some classic pinball. I did, however, forget to close my tab and am hoping the added tip isn't more than 25%.

This place is a fun hangout spot that never disappoints. The atmosphere is electric, especially on weekends, creating a lively, high-energy bar with a great mix of retro arcade and modern chill vibes. While it can get loud and crowded, that's part of its charm. The bar service is super fast, impressively so given the crowds, ensuring you never wait long for drinks or food. The staff maintains great attitudes and keeps things moving smoothly. The food was genuinely blown away; the burger is one of the best I've had at any bar – juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything on the menu feels thoughtfully prepared, exceeding expectations for a typical bar. It's the kind of place where you come for the drinks and games but stay for the outstanding food. The giant TV is perfect for watching games, turning the bar into a fun watch party. Whether you're here for arcade games, sports, or just to hang with friends and grab a great bite, it's definitely worth checking out. It's loud and a little wild, but that makes for a great night out. I'll absolutely be back.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I spent $40 for two tacos and six wings, which did not seem reasonable for the amount of food. My friend and I both agreed it was not worth the cost. The taste of the wings was described as aggressive. I would suggest going down the street for better food.

My new favorite bar in SF! It's a super chill spot with a fun sense of community. The game variety is awesome, and they have so many frequent special events. The atmosphere was a perfect 5/5, and the service was also a 5/5. Food also scored a 5/5. Parking can be somewhat difficult to find, but the wait time was non-existent. The noise level was moderate.

I absolutely love this place! I recently attended their 1st Fridays appt Presentation night, and it was a good time with a great atmosphere. The food was good, they had bar specials, and arcade games. It's a place with a good atmosphere any time.
