My son and I just wanted a little fun when staying overnight for Dr appt. Games were fun, several older games too…so a little nostalgic. Staff helpful when one game didn’t work well. Did not try food.

This place was awesome fun! The workers were really nice and helpful. Lots of old and new games, Skee ball and pinball games. Most game’s cost 50 cents. Good selection of beer on tap. Also got a pizza and it was good for bar food. On Sunday’s from noon -8pm you can bring your kid’s for family day. My children had a great time. We will be returning.

Great vibes and a ton of fun. Mix of classic and new games, and the presence of multiplayer games is nice. Games are priced reasonably, and the space is cozy but not suffocating. Food is pretty good, but drinks are just okay. Very sugary and not a alot of booze, but they’re cheap.

Lots of fun. A bunch of legendary classic arcade games, great service and lots of drinks. What else could you ask for? I had a great time here and will definitely return and recommend it. Game on!

Switched to cards and refused to honor their old tokens. Bought during last football season and they said they switched in January. Said corporate instructed them to not offer any adjustments. Shady practices. I’d be leery buying a game card from them because who knows how long it would be good for

i used AI to figure out the average of your ability to earn the Nintendo Switch 2 and it’s going to cost you right around $1200.

Absolutely worth your time if you’re hitting the town on a night out. It’s such a neon, baby-Vegas vibe, and a real cherry on top if you’ve never been to a barcade. If you have been to one before, it’s still a great time, but manage your expectations.

On one hand, it always blows my mind that these places in college towns have as many arcade machines still functioning with all the flowing booze.

On the other hand, there’s always a few machines that don’t work, or don’t work well, or some games you’d expect to be in a place like this that just aren’t.

But me and my friends still had a riotously good time, and I’d love to come back when all the skeeball lanes are up and running.

Great Spot for Food, Drinks, and Games!

Had to leave a review after a quick stop in for a casual night out—and I was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were well-made, crafted with great flavor. We had the chicken strips, which were not your typical bar chicken strips. They were clearly fresh, served hot and flavorful, with some seriously good ranch on the side.

Liz was extremely helpful and attentive while serving both us and others at the bar. I couldn’t tell if she actually knew everyone personally or if she’s just that good at making people feel welcome. Most bars make you feel like a number—like they don’t expect you back. But here, the vibe was different. The staff, especially Liz, genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do, and it showed in the service and attention to detail.

As for the games—the card system was easy to use and way more convenient than dealing with tokens. Great mix of classics and newer games. We’ll definitely be back! But honestly, even if you don’t play the games, it’s still a great bar with a fun atmosphere and friendly staff—worth hanging out with friends for drinks alone.

Planned on a one-time stop, but it turned into a new favorite.

They went from a coin system to play the arcade games to an annoying card tap system to play games. My group had a whole cup full of coins that they wouldn’t convert into taps. Also prices for drinks at the bar aren’t shown very well

Not a great pinball place. It’s one of those arcades that makes you buy a card. $24 for 700 credits (after tax and new card fee). 55 credits per game of pinball. No 3 credits for $2 like most places. Comes out to 12 games pf pinball for $24. What a rip-off. Staff was good
