We went here for my birthday this year and I received free tokens! Had to show my ID, but that's fine. We spent about an hour here and were very impressed by the friendly bartenders and lots of new and old (nostalgic) games of the past. They had a wide variety of craft beer/IPA's, mixer options, and low carb drinks (which I prefer). We were there around 9-10 pm on a Saturday night and as it got later it started to fill up and games were harder to get on, but by that time we had our fun and spent our tokens, so it was perfect! I would suggest getting here a bit earlier on weekend nights if you want to have your pick of games. BTW, this place is 21 and older only as they serve alcohol.

We've been to Gibson Music Hall twice for the Fox Valley Roots festival, and it is one of my favorite venues. The sound is great, and you can tell they spent a lot of money on decent equipment and people who know how to use it. The bartenders have been fantastic both times we went - always pleasant, quick, professional, and remember your drinks! The stage is a nice size, and the tables are positioned perfectly, so that if you are sitting you can still see, but they're also not in the way of the people who want to be right up front. For food, I think they had some frozen pizzas you could order at the bar, but they also allowed people to bring in their own food (not sure if thats allowed all the time, or just when they have larger events). We ordered burgers from Home Burger Bar next door, and they even let us take the buzzer back to Gibson until our food was done.

This place is always busy for a reason. The service is almost always excellent and the food is too! Prices are reasonable. Even on extremely busy days, your food usually comes in a reasonable amount of time. It is the best place we know for food on the north side of Appleton.
