I found The Hangout the first night I moved into Roanoke from FLA. I was In Love with the Staff (Dom, Sydney, Andrew, Loren, et al.) and the Owner, Lori E.!! They’re all such wonderful friends now after six months of playing Pool, EGames, and singing Karaoke nearly every night!

We held my dad's 79th birthday party here. They were amazing! We had roughly 30ish people plus some kids and had more than plenty of room. Lori and her staff went above and beyond for us and my dad! Very fun place to be.

Ms Edwards is fantastic and Tabitha was extremely helpful. The place is friendly with great people good service and a lot of fun. Couldn't have asked for more. They went well out of their way for a group of us who had our own room for a bachelor gathering, pre-wedding. Highly recommend for any purpose.
