Reviewed By LarryEls - Simpson Bay, Caribbean
The London Underground is our regular after-work hangout. Great bartenders, and there is an excellent selection of beer and liquors. They do really fine mixed drinks, too. There is no kitchen (although you can bring in own food---we like to get a pizza across the street at Great Plains Sauce and Dough) so food is limited to (free) popcorn and nuts/snacks. At night, things get livelier (and louder), and there are events (music, beer or liquor tastings, queers&beers, etc.) 1-2 nights/week.
3. Time Out
Time Out is an Over 21 Bar / Arcade. Families are welcome daily until 7pm with minors accompanied by a parent over 21. Pinball, Skeeball, Air Hockey and Classic Arcades. Karaoke every Friday & Saturday night after 8:30. Great adult and family fun!
