      Fun spot to hang out with friends. Grabbed a table and looked at the menu. Once we decided, we ordered at the bar. Waited to pick up our drinks which were reasonably priced for the city and decent. Got a buzzer for the food. Portion size for the snacks we’re on the small size but other dishes seemed reasonable. Arcade games were not sticky and they had something for each of us.

      Time warp, rediscovered game nights, video games from back in the days , a solid selection of cocktails and their own take on bar food. In short it works. Feeling bored at home and making new friends but don't feel like dressing up or putting on a show...the detour is a nice mix of 'i could care less' being alone in a crowd or hanging with friends while making new ones. Their food selection is an interesting take on bar food. Yes all the common items you can find like burgers and pizza but we tried their adobo bowl, a bit salty for my taste but otherwise not bad and yes their okonomiyaki bowl is actually rather good and tasty. Their tacos are alright, I like the fact that they are not saucy and overloaded with sour cream and other non Mexican taco add-ons but they are a bit dry . A dash of lime would help the cause

      For context, I did not come here to drink, so if that’s your vibe then this might not be helpful. Also, the staff were all friendly and helpful. The place itself though was so loud I had to shout to keep a convo, and half the games that I tried didn’t count quarters I put in, and then others had controls that were sticky or loose (in the game, not the control itself). If you come here to drink and have a few bites, you’ll probably have a good time though, but BRING CASH.

      Lots of seating and a hugr variety of arcade games to play. Excellent service and a friendly, playful atmosphere. Various game nights happen here including bingo. A fun place to hang out with friends, drink, and play games.

      The Detour a whole vibe. Lots of people playing games and just chilling drinking and eating. The place is small which kinds of sucks because it's was crowded but everyone seem to be in their own world of games. The food was actually really good for bar food. Everything tasted great. The games were fun and to my surprise I like playing the old school games. Had a great time here. Would definitely recommend it as a cool place to chill.
