The Upstairs at 66

Searched for an active bar and what a great, cool place. We arrived right when happy hour started. Perfect timing. We got our drinks and went upstairs where more games were to be played.

It was early so we had the place to ourselves for a bit. What fun! Had our frozen margaritas and draft beer, which hit the spot since it was hot outside. Inside was nice and cool.

Need a place to hang out, drink and just relax? This is the place.

Very cute place! Celebrated my birthday here last night with friends. Yes, the games are free with the exception of Skeeball, which is $1/game. Besides that, we played the mini NES and Sega consoles, "Medium" Jenga and Connect 4 (they're not quite giant) and shuffleboard. All were free. We had reservations for yesterday's Friday night and there weren't any tables available when I got there, but I gently reminded the host of my reservation and he immediately accommodated my party. :)

I wouldn't really call this place a "restaurant". Sure, Route 66 Smokehouse is supposed to be on the bottom floor, but it's really more of a bar (with a few games down there as well). The upstairs is quite spacious, and also has a bar up there as well, though it was a really busy night and the bartender had to keep leaving to help downstairs. He seemed a bit overworked, but still managed to do his best and be very attentive to our questions and requests. While the Sucker Punch drink is expensive at $16, I recommend it because it's pretty big for an adult capri sun. Also, while it says "homemade fruit punch", don't expect it to be too fruity. I got the Cracklin Pork Clouds and I question how "homemade" they really are. But get the BASKET OF BISCUITS. Is it actually NOT a basket with just 2 giant biscuits? Yes. However, THOSE were most definitely homemade, fluffy, slightly outer crisp with soft cloudy inside and the accompanying BUTTAH, MMMMM.

What's interesting is that our reservation was for 7. By about 8:30 the upstairs place started clearing out; it was literally just my friends and maybe 2-3 other groups. On a Friday night! Then, when it was time to go by around 9:30ish pm, when we went downstairs to leave, the DOWNSTAIRS area was PACKED. Wall to wall bodies. It was almost bizarre how empty the upstairs was, but how packed the downstairs was. But lucky for us because we got to play so much, unhindered. I would come back and try the cool chicken sandwich. Only reason I didn't get it this time around is because I wasn't that hungry.

Came here in the middle of the week an we just missed a hidden comedy show.

The bar was super spacious and had a lot of games. From ping pong to basketball to shuffle board to photo booth to video games, this place has it all. The drinks were super strong too which I liked.

Upstairs at 66 is located in the middle of a lively block in downtown. I would strongly recommend.

Great service, good drinks, very friendly staff. Setting was very relaxed anyone can go and enjoy themselves

A bar with an arcade, free board games, and even giant jenga? Sign me up! Even better, the drinks are decently priced and there's no cover?

I wish I had found this place earlier! It is nestled in a bustling side street in FiDi. We came on a slower Saturday afternoon and enjoyed being the only people in the game room. After ordering our drinks downstairs, we headed upstairs. I was able to relive some cherished childhood memories playing giant jenga, giant connect four, skee ball ($5 for 5 games), battleship, and guess who. There was also a free photo booth, ping pong, and darts.

There was also a great selection of beers to choose from.

I could see this as a great place to bring a date or have a fun time with friends. I will definitely be bringing friends back here when I have the oppurtunity.

It was date night two & we met up for fun & games. When you walk in there is a bar to the left and seating to the right & back. Sef was the bartender for the night & she was cool. My date & played connect four, darts, beer pong upstairs. We came down later a burger & shots. If you feeling the game vibes this is the ideal spot. There are loads of other games to choose from at this spot.

Nice spot on stone street financial district in Manhattan. Have serval games good for groups or a date night for two. Only thing if u upstairs u have to go down to get drink when I visited. Bartender was cool didn't get to try they food kitchen was already closed. This next to a lil strip of serval bars n they also were selling food outside.

Friend had a birthday here and the venue / area was perfect! Great for large groups and great rooftop

This place is absolutely wonderful. I threw a baby shower here for my sister and her husband. Everyone had a GREAT time. We were allowed to play our own playlist, I was able to decorate, and we also brought in our own deserts. This was a co-Ed baby shower so the games and the overall space were perfect.

The food was delicious. My sister and quite a few of our friends our vegan. Marina was great in helping me select vegan options for the guests and everyone was happy. I must also say that the Mac and cheese was a crowd favorite (for the non-vegan folks lol). People thought it was homemade and that is saying something. Thank you to Marina for her great customer support. Thank you also to our bartender, Joe. Both of them were of great help and made everything go smoothly!

I've been coming to Stone Street for a while, as it offers a good choice of bars and it's easy to bounce around. The Upstairs gives me the best reason to stay on the strip, the key to my heart, GAMES! Ping Pong, Giant Jenga, Giant Connect Four, Pinball Machines, Darts, Fooseball, Uno and other card games are great, but the best game here by far is the Nintendo NES! They have the mini NES with a bunch of games and two controllers connected to a TV just sitting there for anyone to pick up and play. Are you kidding me? I can play Zelda, Mario, Tecmo Bowl, Double Dragon, Pac-Man, and frigging Excitebike right here?!!

So now we're just getting buckets of beers and hanging out by the NES after work. I have a saved game for Zelda II that I'm working on, and over time, I will eventually beat the game.
