I went to a couple of birthday parties there as a kid. I got a pizza from there right before the lockdowns. It’s actually pretty good.

When I first met my wife to be there was a joint on Capital Hill (cue the gay jokes) that had a bar on one side for the adults and games on the other side for the kids. Back in the 80's when arcades still were a thing

Uhh it's fucking terrifying as an adult?
It's like when you see those creepy dolls that kids used to have back in the early 20th century. -
Never been. Proudly.

I grew up during it’s prime, back in the 80’s. When I was young / small enough to play in the whatever you call it with the tower, tubes, nets, etc. (giant indoor big toy), it was pretty sweet. Once I was too big, then it was video games, which was a slight plus from the local mall arcade as you got 5 tokens per dollar, thus one more game play on single token/quarter games.
By the time I was in 5th grade, I had an NES, so even the video games were getting tiresome. While there at a birthday party, one of the amusement rides for toddlers/ youngsters (a space ship that basically went up and down) was closed for repairs, and the coin slot panel was loose. A friend and I looted every token out of the sucker. We then posted up by the token vending machines offering folks 6 tokens for a dollar, as opposed to the usual 5. Half the people ignored our sweet offer, which was an interesting lesson to me. I ended up walking away that night with enough cash to buy the sweet Contra sequel. -
Except Gen X took their kids there. Not me. I’m above that pedestrian shit. My kids were at Izzys.YellowSnow said:

The cartoony looking mouse logo probably doesn't resonate with children as much these days, judging by how other modern things are designed to be marketed to children. These days, it's all about minimalism. If they change their logo from a cartoon mouse to a plain black square with nothing on it, kids will probably go nuts for it.

And walked to the store to buy the ingredients. With their own money earned by delivering newspapers and collecting bottles.
Oh wait, that was my generation. My generation....
People try to put us d- d-down -
Never been to one. The commercials always looked super corny to me.
