Fantastic place. One of the last game stores around where you can buy NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. games at.

I could easily spend a small fortune here, why oh why did I sell my NES when I was younger :(

Best authentic German food you can buy. My grandparents from Checkoslovakia went here for years and said it was the most authentic you could find. I highly recommend the sausages.

Expect a wait when you go in.

Updating to 5 stars now that I've actually been. Great service and a neat atmosphere. Go for the sandwiches and amazing desserts, you cant go wrong.

Also if you go with a friend, order a sandwich and split it. Its more than enough.

    I've always had take out from this place, so far having a sandwich the size of a dinner plate that feeds me for 2 meals hasn't disappointed. Meat and bread are great. Don't think of it as a $10 sandwich, think of it as two $5 meals. Picture attached for your viewing pleasure.

Awesome place to stop by and have a drink before heading out or going to dinner. Unfortunate when I was in there it was packed with 10 "woo girls" and my ears rang for the rest of the night.

Cocktails are original and very strong, well worth what they charge, no watered down drinks here.

They also have a large selection of absinthe. I'll have to go back to try that out.

Tons of fun at this place. Great mixed drinks and fantastic food. Date cake + homemade mac and cheese are fantastic. Atmosphere is terrific and the owners (a brother and sister) are very friendly.

This is the type of place that makes Portland the great city that it is.

I will be back for the Tuesday "all night chili dogs" nights.

New Old Lompoc

Knocking this place down after an awful experience last Sunday (3/29). Fiancee and I went here on Sunday afternoon to grab a brew. The place was pretty much empty and after 15 minutes of waiting at a booth I ordered at the bar. The bartender was very unfriendly. Waitress never came around except when we left.

I used to be a huge fan of this place but this is very disheartening. What happened Lompoc? You used to have the best service.

Beers were still great.

    I don't care if its smokey and its a little run down - this place has character! Their beers are fantastic and I love the fact that they change them up on a frequent basis. I have yet to be disappointed in any of their crafts.

    The food is traditional pub fare and has always been excellent - way better than Rock Bottom and cheaper.

    The outdoor patio is simply the best. It has an indoorish section thats heated during the winter and a larger patio area thats great for summer nights. The place is Dog friendly so feel free to bring Fido along.

    If anything, above all else, the coolest feature is the bathroom. I freaked when I saw that they had the 'Godfather' style toilet - a rarity these days. It truly adds to the atmosphere and gives the place its own style.

    Come in not expecting the Ritz and you wont be disappointed. It's very chill and a great place to unwind with some friends.

Very neat place, tons of cool desk toys that I could easily blow my money on. Clerk was very friendly and not only showed me where the 3 books I was looking for were located (DMZ, Walking Dead, Y: The Last Man) but also provided suggestions for a bunch of others he thought I would enjoy. I'll be back when I need the next in the seires or something new to read.

5 Friends and I ate at Pepino's on 3/14. All 5 of us suffered severe food poisoning. It cost me 2 days of work and severe pain.

This wasn't the first time I had been there (I thought I had given this place 3 stars originally but somehow I cant find my review so I guess I didn't).

I will not be back. Avoid this place.

I hadn't picked up a comic in 10 years and was feeling nostalgic one Saturday afternoon. On a whim I went and checked this place out to see how the genre had changed over time. After about 10 minutes of being completely overwhelmed I explained my situation to the the guys behind the counter and asked what they would recommend. 30 minutes and $50 later I have a stack of books to read. As I left the store both clerks welcomed me back.

Thus far I have not been disappointed. I will be back to pick up the remaining books in the series. Sure you can pick them up for cheap online but without places like these you'll never know what the great reads are or remember what it feels like to fall in love again with something you left so long ago.

Ugh, save your money and go elsewhere. Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe this place. Go to a chain place. At least there they will acknowledge your existence when you walk in.

Oh and WTF is with the kiddie playground in the bar? Seems way out of place.
