The Potion Portal is our favorite local barcade! The geek-grunge-retro atmosphere is immaculate. They have a great rotating selection of craft beer, hard cider & seltzer on tap and in-can at very affordable prices. Sunday night karaoke is super fun! The bartenders are great and personable – just really love this place. Hosted my birthday party here and they did an amazing job! Huge thanks especially to the manager, Kristin, for helping us have an awesome party!

I ate a bunch of mushrooms and wanted to play pinball. This place satisfied. The colors were great and the staff made me feel safe. That star wars machine y’all have is a mother father, I’ll be back for sure.

We love it! This is our neighborhood go-to bar when we want an entertaining/chill venue. The games are fun, they have everything you need from a variety of pinball to pool to board games. Variety of brewskis and friendly, personable staff. A St. Pete gem coming from a local St. Petian

The bartenders was super kind and friendly. She also gave a great recommendation for a local spot to eat since this is a beer and wine joint. The pinball games are new and strong. What the air hockey table lacks un blowing power, it makes up for un free lives. The skeeball tables are alive and well. Their board game selection is overwhelming. They have two pool tables. All those factors make the bar an absolute win, and definitely worth your time, but the highlight of it all is the craft drought beer selection! Go for the beer, enjoy the games and atmosphere while you sip it! Thank me later.

No food here but tons of fun and when you get hungry order from the excellent Mexican spot next door, they even hand deliver food if your stuck breaking your high score on Ms Pac Man or Pinball. Fun locals, super friendly and helpful staff with bar offerings including alcohol alternatives like Hemp Delta9 THC bevs, N/A craft and yummy on off craft brews and wine too.

One of the better bar run-ins I’ve had. The owner PJ was real chill and you could tell he knew all his regulars. They had karaoke night, which I’d never participated in karaoke before, so you know I had to join! Had a fantastic time there, will be returning for the pool and pinball machines!

Casual gaming bar. Beer and wine only, as of 2021. However they have a large selection, which includes ciders, and hard seltzers for people who don’t like beer.

Staff are very accommodating, and are happy to help you find the right beverage. They feature several local beers on tap.

The walls have fun, colorful murals painted with various arcade game motifs. There are pinball & arcade games, plus – darts, pool tables, foos ball, and air hockey.

The bar also has a bookcase full of boardgames, Anna tables to play at, that will keep your crew entertained!

I would not recommend this place for kids, despite the gaming stuff. The atmosphere is aimed at adults, and a great place to let your hair down.

My only nit-pick is that I wish the arcade games and pinball were cheaper to play.

All in all, my gang and I had a blast, and are looking forward to making another night of it.
