Corky's Gaming Bistro - Grapevine

Had a great time. Very clean and well organized. The pro was fun and helpful. Food and drinks wete great. Will return for more Ax throwing and to try the escape room.

As a family we've been looking for a place to do an escape room. Came across this place on the web and on Sundays they have a discount (from $29 to $22) so we made a reservation for six online. After fees and such it came to about $154 or so. They do have cancellation insurance that you can use within the last 72 hours for $3 each but we felt like we didn't need it for same day reservation. The place has a bar food type menu wings, burgers, decent mix of combination appetizers, sliders, chicken fingers, salads....Beers on tap as well as axe throwing and so concerned about the mix of those two....LOL... Also classic video games arcade so was definitely worth the trip today. It's a nice place and feels like a place you can hang for a day. Plenty of televisions for watching sports.The escape room was fun. Ryan who was our host was very friendly and very helpful....Lord knows the things he must see and hear as families work through things and argue like we did... but you get 60 minutes to get out and we did it with a minute to spare. There are a few other options for escape rooms so it does lend itself to return visits. I think the challenge was pretty fair and did require team work. We each were able to contribute so definitely a family friendly environment. We did the escape from Alcatraz. Three hints are given and they also are kind enough to give little baby hints along the way which helped us on our very first escape effort.They do have costumes that you can use to get into the spirit. Overall a fun time in the escape room and we'd do the other themes but definitely on Sunday with the discounts. We didn't do the axe throwing. The video game setup is either $12 for an hour of gaming from the first swipe (so don't swipe and then do the escape room) or $15 for four hours. Seemed to be no question that the four hours was best value. However, in hindsight an hour is plenty of time for games. After about two hours we were definitely getting weary of it, and after three hours we were ready to go...Just for clarification we did the video games after the escape room. I thought the food was pretty good. We had among us the boneless chicken wings (with BBQ flavor), chicken fingers basket, Timber Hamburger, a salad, and the chicken tacos. Probably came out to about $65 before tax and tip. Good and fun vibe from the staff there and some great nostalgia as the video arcade had among other favorites: Joust, Donkey Kong, PAC-man, Ms Pac-Man, punch out, track and field, operation wolf, zaxxon, and a slew of pinball games. Overall around $90 on video games, $150 for the escape room, $65 for the food. For six people about $50 more or less per person for a solid 4-5 hours o fun. Have to say fair value and a good time so we will be back.

Looking for an out of the box date night idea? Work team building activity, just a night out with friends? Corky's is the place for you! I've been to numerous axe throwing joints around DFW and Corky's is the best hands down. Their boards and axes are well maintained. In addition to axe throwing they have old school arcade and pinball machines, escape rooms, oh and did I mention full bar AND serves food?! Yes, they have that as well. Service and axe instructors are always friendly and helpful. Even if you've never thrown axes, this is a place to just have fun. Highly recommend!

We came through and stopped for food games and escape room! Good customer service and good food ! We did jungle escape room it was very fun ! Thank you BRIGGS ! Great game master! Very friendly will def come back as we came for the escape room experience!

Corky's was the absolute WORST Escape Room experience I've ever had. ALSO, our host/guide was even worse. He was extremely mundane and we sometimes had to ask for clues more than once as if, he wasn't available the first time we asked. I really wish I had remembered his name. Anyway, the experience SUCKED and I'll never go back to Corky's ever again. I typically go to Red Door Escape Room and I have a blast EVERY TIME! I thought I'd try something new and I completely wasted $75!
