Went there for the pinball. Great games available. It was a very popular place with people having fun. A flipper on one of the games stopped working mid game and staff provided a prompt refund for the credits.

My friend and I popped in for our first time last week because we had an hour of time to kill. We ended up happily hanging out for 4 hours, and had a blast. Female bartender Julia was a rockstar, and made us feel so welcomed. She was very knowledgeable in helping me select the perfect bourbon. She whipped up some of the tastiest old-fashioned cocktails I’ve ever had. The music was on point, and Julia’s vibe was contagious. We will definitely be back to see her.

Had to leave this a One star because this is 2nd time we’ve been here and we get scammed. I usually come every year on my birthday I love the atmosphere. The man at the door told us the specials and we ask for a bartender. We ask the (Asian guy) bartender for two shots on special.(gummy bear) he looks at us with a blank face and asks us what’s in it? after they just told us it’s on special. We look at each other confused because he should know how to make it. Whatever. As I handed him my card to pay, he charged us $28 for the $5 special shots. We come every year from out of town to celebrate our birthdays and somehow he is always our bartender and we always either get double charged or up-charged for a different drink. Quite literally I always catch the bartenders taking shots behind the bar, Maybe the bartender was drunk. But unfortunate for us for getting scammed out of our money on our birthdays. Do better.

This is my happy place. Varied pinball lineup
Julia is the best behind the bar — super sweet, fast, and always makes the place feel warm and fun instead of hectic. It’s the kind of spot you come for one game and accidentally stay all night. Always a good vibe here

Stopped in for some drinks and games last night. To be clear, bartender was great- very friendly, made great recommendations and the drinks were good. When playing the games, there were several that just ate our money and didn’t allow us to play unless we put in more coins. I think we made change for a $20 bill and probably wasted half of that on games that just took our money (Mario kart, pong game, pac man, pinball). We didn’t make a complaint last night because it was just the one bartender and honestly it was just 20 bucks, but this morning I saw that I was also double charged for the photobooth (on a credit card) which is just irritating. Just be aware if you are going to play games- felt a little scammy, and probably won’t return.

Security and bartender were really nice! A very cute place to go with a decent selection of games. The games take quarters and while there is a cash exchanger machine, some games only take $1 bills. A little confusing and frustrating but pretty typical. Go with cash. Located downtown and lots of stuff to do in the area.

Probably my favorite arcade/bar in San Diego. Whenever we’re in downtown during the day time we’ll try to hit this place up for some quick games. They have the old school games like the Simpsons and even older, including a large array of pinball games.
There is also a showcase of 80s/90s memorabilia that will take back. Definitely a place to spend an hour.
