I am always looking for new places for myself and my partner to go to whenever we spend the day together. This place did not disappoint! They have a vast drink selection of coffees, teas, and even alcohol. But their gaming selection is bound to bring out the child in ANYONE who comes here. For only $12 each we got unlimited use of all the games they have in house. They even have free board and card games for folks. It was a great afternoon here and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. I got one of the energizing teas while my partner enjoyed her coffee flight. We both were very happy with our selections. I’d recommend this place for all ages truthfully and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

🍔🌭 Hangout MKE Cafe & Lounge 🥙🥗🏡🏭 LOCATION (= 1 ⭐️) - Right on the east side of downtown, next door to a super pizza joint. Inside the restaurant is clean, lots of room for seating, and unbelievably unique game set up.💁🏼✍️ SERVICE (= 1 ⭐️) - The service was fast. The baristas were also very sweet!🥗🍜 COFFEE (= 1 ⭐️) - Coffee was adequate.💰💵 PRICE (= 1 ⭐️) - Price for the coffee and food is good. Here’s where I’m conflicted though. I’m order to play the big games like ping pong, pool, life size soccer, (anything run really) you’re required to pay $12 a person. We’ll we were there for a little date night on a Friday, and there were maybe two people using the area. $$24 to play some games for an hour seems very high. We didn’t pay for that, we just ended up playing UNO and guess who 😬 which was still fun! If I could give a half star here I would, but I can’t, so I still give a full star. (I believe if they made that area $5 a person, they would make SO much more money due to the amount of people willing to pay) That’s the Sam Walton method.💃🏻🎊 EXPERIENCE (= 1 ⭐️) - If you’re willing to pay the extra price to get the big games - one of the coolest places in the city!!🤔 Overall Thoughts - 4 1/2 ⭐️’s! But I’ll round up because we did have such a great experience :)

This place was pretty dead in the afternoon so, I dont know if its because it is so new and not a lot of people know about it yet, but it is pretty awesome!A very clean environment and a super friendly staff, they provide a lot of different entertainment for your little ones. They have cards at the tables so the idea of hanging out and hanging up is a real thing here. This is a good family joint that would be fun for any birthday party or just a few hours to get away from the house.They do have a game pass for the big equipment items here such as giant dice and pool table and things like that. See the pictures below to capture the environment.And do not fret adults! They have chocolate alcoholic beverages! When I come back here, when I am kid free. But it was a great first-time experience for me and my niece and nephew.Make this a local Legacy for this place. They put a lot of time and energy into it.

What a cool place! Great spot to hang out with friends especially on a rainy day. They have a huge selection of drinks. Very laid back atmosphere. We got the premium game pass which is $6/hr and played a ton of games including giant operation which was a blast. They also have a great variety of free games you can play when you purchase a drink/food item. Overall a fun, unique place. Totally recommend and would be a good first date spot.

Visited this place from Virginia. This place has a cool vibe. The loaded strawberry cream Belgium waffle was good. Very sweet. The guy who took my order was kind.

Fun spot to take kids or spend an afternoon with friends. Unique concept. Clean. The hours are a bit wonky esp with parties being able to privately reserve the games at random times, so I always call ahead. The coffee is nothing special but they have some good snacks

My husband and I were super excited to come here for his birthday today. When we got here we were the only ones in line, but There were two girls behind the counter working hard to fulfill online orders. After about 10 minutes of waiting without them looking out way or acknowledging our presence a guy walked up to ask a question. And one of the girls was super rude to him. My husband and I decided to go elsewhere after this. We have no problem waiting if it is busy and we were asked to wait, but to not even be acknowledged was frustrating.

If you have a group of 6 or less Hangout MKE is perfect if you have to go out. The high ceilings gives a great sense of space. Also a good spot for in person tabletop role playing games. D&D fans will love it.

My first time being here was absolutely awesome! We were invited to an open mic night on February 28, 2020, Friday. Let me just say, the honey latte, hot chocolate, and coffee were all delicious. The co-owner Becca was super friendly, helpful and cool!The free games provided were: Nintendo, giant Jenga, board games, and an 8 player Foozeball all made for an amazing time.The games you pay for by the hour, $6 an hour, is very reasonable considering all the neat and incredibly things you get to pick from: life size operation, ping pong, giant Yatzee, basketball, shuffleboard, pool table and life size kick ball pool just to name a few. Who thinks of this creative stuff? Its simple and hands on. It requires human interaction instead of being on your phones, tablets and laptops.If you are looking for something to do, Id highly recommend checking this place out!

If you are bored (i always am), this place is awesome. For $12 a day (or apparently $100 for 6 months for 2 people) you get access to ping pong, fooseball, soccer pool, regular pool, giant operation, giant Jenga, gaming consoles and more. With food, drinks and coffee available, there is no real reason to leave!

If you’re looking for a great study spot in Milwaukee this is it. I came here in the morning and got a lot of work done. It’s a very quiet in the afternoons and the staff is super friendly. The drinks are super amazing. I highly recommend the peanut butter cup iced coffee if you’re into that. Very cozy and great place to get a lot of work done.

The staff is nice! The drinks could be better. I ordered a peppermint hot chocolate and it tasted a little watery. It definitely needed more chocolate. There could be a little more food selection other that sweet stuff. Otherwise everything else is great!

Their brownie a’la mode kit is seriously amazing. It tasted gourmet. Fun way to make the evening a bit more special as we stay home more due to COVID-19. I love how they incorporate other local products such as the Purple Door ice cream that came with our delicious brownies. Hangout is one of our favorite places. Shop/spend local!

Neat little place! Love seeing the game Operation in full size and watching people play it. Seeing scrabble on the wall is cool as well...a place for grown ups who want to connect with their inner child! Cannot wait to go back with some friends next time. Solo does it no justice.

This is a truly unique place and one I cannot wait to come back to. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. It’s perfect to connect with friends without having to compete with loud noises or music. There are so many games to pick from, there’s no shortage of fun. The giant, eight-player foosball game was my favorite. I had a peanut butter mocha and it was fantastic. Such a great experience!

Best place to hang out in Milwaukee! Great games, friendly staff and owners, pleasant atmosphere! We had party of 13 people ages 4 to 47 and everyone had tones of fun and the bill was totally manageable, we would spend much more in any other party place. Highly recommended and we need to support the place!

Review №42

You know in commercials how the food looks amazing, but in person it looks horrible? Not Hangout MKE! All of the drinks look extremely aesthetic, and more importantly, taste just as good as they look.They have a ton of activities to do with your friends too. For now those are off the table, but I think about them often

Nice space, affordable place to hang out with a group. Would be better with decaf espresso and more food, especially savory options. The snacks looked like smores and I wasnt in the mood for anything sweet. Might be a good idea to eat lunch or dinner first and then have dessert here.

Review №50

I appreciate what theyre trying to do here, and was very excited about it, but the drinks were terrible and its overpriced. I ordered a small mocha, it was around $5, which I thought was fair when I ordered it. When it came out it was TINY and tasted AWFUL. Definitely not a mocha. Two of my friends ordered different drinks and we all agreed they were not good. Most of the games you would go there to play are $6 per person per hour, which, when youre factoring in cost of food/drink as well, is pretty steep. I feel they should at least offer a game discount to those paying for the refreshments as well, especially when the coffee isnt good. Overall, I was really excited to go here, but am pretty disappointed.

Get a snack, a drink (soda, beer, tea, coffee or water), and have some fun! We enjoyed ping pong and giant Operation and will return to play the big Jenga set. Board games are available for check out for free with a purchase of food or drink. Really enjoyed this new take!
