This so much. The main appeal of arcade bars is that the arcade machines are usually free (at least the best one's I've been too), though with generally higher priced drinks than a standard bar. Coop gets it wrong on both accounts by having overpriced drinks AND paid arcade games.

Foxtail is trash, Local is mediocre at best, and Penn Society is way overpriced but I actually kind of like Standard Market. Can't really say anything about the other places they own.

Who knows. Their dress code always seemed so arbitrary (apparently converse shoes are an issue? Also had a friend denied entry on that) and completely up to the specific bouncer anyway. I always found Jimmy D's annoying because of that. The predatory patrons were the final nail in the coffin though, and I outright refuse to go Jimmy D's anymore for that specific reason.

Tequila Cowboy or Jimmy D's for me. I've known girls that have been assaulted, harrassed, or drugged at both those bars. And from what I hear it's a very common occurence at those bars, especially Tequila Cowboy.
I also had two friends denied access to Jimmy D's because their shirts were too long and completely covered their back pockets... while I was also wearing a long shirt that covered my pockets and was cleared to enter. Only difference was I'm white and they're not... so yeah Jimmy D's just sucks all around.

Amanda Seyfried is a decently big name missing from this list (unless I accidentally scrolled by her). She was born and raised in Allentown

I recently had a ticket on my car for not having a permit in a permit parking area... outside my apartment that I mostly certainly have a permit for. Description of the car matched my car but upon looking at the license plate it was a completely different plate number no where close to mine. Additionally when I searched the plate online it was linked to a completely different brand of vehicle. I don't know how they messed up that bad, I definetely agree that the parking authority is generally just terrible at their jobs.

Comparable in what way? I would say many other bars have cheaper drinks and/or better drink specials (my benchmark is usually Shadyside Mario's), though given Coops location it's probably comparable to other nearby bars in the Strip and Cultural District. The biggest issues I have with coop is that's it's model of paid arcade games and expensive drinks (albeit in an area where expensive drinks are typical) makes it worse than than many arcade bars I have been to (which includes those outside of Pittsburgh)
