Jennifer Watchmaker Review of C.J. Barrymore's

My husband, step daughter and I visited C.J Barrymores recently. I have been to this place over the last 20 years, this was the place of many family outings with both of now grown sons and friends. This time employees stopped us twice. Once to tell us we couldn't sit at a table near the bowling section to order or eat our meal. Mind you that the place was very empty and there are open tables everywhere. The young man said sorry we reserve these tables in this section for bowlers only. Funny thing is we were planning to order food/drinks, eat and then start bowling. I shouldn't have to explain my intentions to a kid telling my family to move as we start sitting down at a table. Please keep in mind that it was dead in there the whole time we visited. Our next experience with staff was possibly a security guy? He yelled across the stairway that a vape pen is not allowed on the premises and only to be used out front, as it's considered the same as smoking cigarettes. Ok no, it is not smoking. It is a very small harmless amount of vapor/steam that immediately disappears in the air. It smells like fruit or candy and stops people from smoking cigarettes. A fog machine can run indoors at laser tag, that emits so much more vapor than a pen but that's perfectly fine. If your going to say but kids are around and it may cause them to start smoking. I would say maybe worry more about the racing game I seen a 7 year old play that starts and ends by 2 real life strippers dancing, bouncing and humping the air 3 entire minutes on a large screen in his face. They are undressed/dressed in panties and bra. It's like saying watching them is likely to give that little boy a sex addiction. Fairly accurate observation in my eyes. The outside area is closed right now, so just playing a few games, riding the zombie, werewolf shooting game and eating. We spent about $300.00 in maybe a little over 2 1\2 hours. I felt like we shouldn't have been approached 2 times by employees in that short period of time with the place that dead except a few kids here or there. By the way staff, where were their parents? One of The Rules are minors are to be with their parents at all times. I understand why that rule isn't being upheld, really I do. Then why come at us with the other rules as I'm sure we were spending more money and would have stayed longer if we didn't feel stalked as we visited the establishment that day. Shame is a Sunday night out that should have been fun and carefree, turned into being told to move and embarrassed by being shouted at across the room. Disappointed this was one of my favorite places in the area for family fun nights.
