My Parents’ Basement

This place is a GenXer paradise. Between the comics, video/pinball games, this place has it all. This is a very large place that can accommodate plenty of people playing and eating at the same time. The atmosphere is really something to behold and it has no equal. The staff was fantastic and the food was solid. Please note that there are no tvs! You wont miss them at all since there is so much to do here. I can't wait to get back down here for a tournament night. Check this joint our ASAP!

This was my first time dining at MPB and it is the most at home I've felt at a place since moving here from Houston 5 years ago. It definitely has a welcoming neighborhood vibe that extended to me even as a newcomer. The staff was attentive, friendly, warm and inviting. Service was efficient. The food came out in a really reasonable time, especially considering we were warned in advance that the kitchen was backed up. It's very family friendly. It's one of the few places I've been able to bring my two-year-old where she 1, attentively sat and ate her food because she enjoyed it so much and 2, was perfectly entertained while my husband followed her around while I ate. We split the burger and tator tots and even though I'm still so full I wish I had room for another one and our toddler devoured the shells with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. It even came out at a temperature that she could start eating right away and the shells were the perfect bite size for a little mouth. We're so happy we found this place. There's even a changing table in the bathroom! It's higher on the wall so if you're on the shorter side I noted that there's a step stool in there that you can pull into the stall with you. Also excellent selection of arcade games, pinball and comics for sale.

Fun place to play arcade games, have a drink and hang out. A lot of on tap beer selections. Family friendly. Great outdoor space. Food was OK.

Fun place to grab lunch or dinner. Plenty of beer choices on tape, good food, games, and comics what more can you ask for?! They have some cool coin operated arcade cabinets and pinball machines. Plenty of comics and books.

There’s nothing else like MPB anywhere. Where else can you get a full page of great draft beers, comics and such a variety of pinball games? Just remember to bring quarters and leave your Amex at home.
