Great drinks, great staff, and great games.Afterlife is one of the best places to just go with friends and hang out, with a great selection of retro and modern games, as well as some of the most welcoming staff I've seen anywhere.The food there is also great with a good amount of meat and vegetarian options.

A friend and I spent the Easter Sunday here and had a blast. It was relaxing and fun. The staff were super friendly, down to earth, and would chat with us about games. I ordered the fahitas and they tasted very fresh and full of flavor. Coffee was also fresh and great. Will definitely be back with more of the crew next time! Thanks for an awesome first experiance!

Great place to just sit back and play some classic video games. They have everything from Atari and NES, to Xbox and WiiU. Comfortable places to sit, amazing bartender and drinks and nice game themed merchandise sold here as well. Be sure to check out the drink menu for some neat and interesting mixed drinks (try the Adam Sour). Went a second time and tried the food. Great tasting snacks that were perfect for gaming.

The staff is very friendly & the atmosphere is excellant. Very well-decorated with staff/employees who care. It can get busy during the school year so it is recommended you call in advance. They sell some good nostalgia stuff as well (Swords, vintage magazines, etc). Sure the drinks are pricey but the entry fee is cheap. I personally don't mind paying a bit more for drinks seeing as I would pay the same premium @ a club or a pub. Keep in mind the business is new & a niche concept so they are still working their way into it.The food isn't great. Normally I'd take some stars off but it really is more of a video game BAR with a few snacks then a resturant.

the food is ok but some selections feel very heavily priced compared to others. The drinks are nice although they got rid of some of the cooler selections like the Nuka Cola drink offered to you in a coca cola glass bottle. Theres a wide selection of games spanning from NES era to modern consoles, although the library for the later stuff is smaller. Overall a decent time to enjoy playing some classics in a friendly atmosphere.

Very nice staff, a wide selection of consoles. The game library is 60% of what you expect and could be improved. Where it needs work is in the food and drink selection. The food is pretty bad and the drinks miss the mark. Would love to see foods like candy and chips along with something unique in the city like a cereal bar to match the retro feel. Maybr even an unlimited popcorn for $X. There are certain foods people like to eat when playing video games and the menu here misses the mark.

I come here quite frequently for a relaxing hangout with friends. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful, setting up the different consoles when needed. They have a wide selection of games. There is a cover charge but that gets negated with food and drink purchases. The themed drinks are DELICIOUS. Every time I go I have to get the Ocarina of Thyme.

Great games and surprisingly great coffee. The staff is very patient, though I think might need to hire more in the future. People tend to come in waves, so it's usually either really busy or really quiet. If it isn't that busy, then they relax the rules and let you stay longer! BONUS!While the atmosphere is friendly, I do want to caution parents that this place tends to focus on university students 20+ in age. Because of this most of the drinks are alcoholic, though sweeter alcohol free drinks are available.I also wish to add that some of the *games here are RARE* and thus should be HANDLED WITH CARE. Parents should make sure that kids (and even their teens) understand this before going in. This isn't just a lounge, It's a museum.
