Security guard/bouncer in front of the bar entrance. He’s the guy with the glasses, he’s a cool dude. Met a pretty nice bartender named Hannah. Introduced me to the bar and the some services that they provide especially all the epic arcade games and was even nice enough to give me a starter piece to get started on the games because I am not from this area and I know nothing about it but thanks to her, it was a nice experience. Games were great. I was questioning why not a VR game there like the Jurassic Park one but then again, I believe they’re going for the more retro-ish vibes for video games. Which is actually another reason why I like it.
The other bartenders were more or less ok. Same thing with the other security guards. All except one skinny young man guard with a ruffled fro. Glared at me like he can actually do something. Looked like the hardest thing he ever tackled was homework. If you’re gonna show signs of inexperience, at least try to mitigate it by avoiding things such as looking at your phone. Are you the Security/bouncer or a guy in inviting his friends to the bar? I used to do security myself, and respectfully, unless there’s an emergency, thats the last thing you should be looking at while working.
Nevertheless, if you go to this bar, (Make sure you have liquid cash on you! Otherwise, you will be making a visit to the epic ATM they have, It’s space invaders theme, I like it lol). The drinks are nice, they have a good price and the bartenders seem good. The games are good and cheap. Awesome designs all over the entire building as well. So if you’re ever hanging around downtown Tucson and you are a nerd this may be a place you would be interested in checking out and if you go there, give a shout out to Hannah and tell her she’s awesome!! 👍🏽
Overall, I will give this place to 4.5 out of five

One of my favorite bars in downtown. If I ever don't know where to go for a drink after getting separated from my group of friends, I always end up there to hang out for a bit and play a few games.

I don't know about the food or service, because I was busy playing pinball and Centipede, like I was back in 1981! I will be back, lol.

Super rude bartenders.
The bar was cool but unfortunately it seemed a lot of the games didn’t work and stole your money, had faulty buttons, etc. The place seemed more like it was a bar first and the arcade games were added as an after thought. It was very quiet on a random weekday night until about 9pm when a DJ and small crowd got there which was very very loud. Of course it’s a bar in the downtown Tucson area, so that’s somewhat expected and no complaint there. Just be aware if you’re expecting a chill, cozy arcade bar vibe, it is not really like that. There is also an upstairs area that is not wheelchair accessible.
I went in when it was totally dead but the vibes were really cool and they had their own in-house DJ seamlessly mixing tracks. I didn't get a chance to play any of the games but I will definitely be back with friends.

Preface: i came in for the games and not much else. Cool selection of games, but they really need some maintenance. The pinball machines especially. Tokens got eaten, balls kept getting stuck, resulting in lost games. Would love to come back and play more, provided those issues were rectified.
Very cool, trippy bar, wish they played more electronic music
Expensive 🫰🏽
This is not an arcade bar, this is a bar with arcade games. I think that is an important distinction for anyone looking for an arcade bar to understand.
Game are cheap with is a plus!
Good happy hour with $5 Wells. Wish they sold merchandise... Would have loved to get a sticker and shirt or hat.
Loved the games. You need to use tokens to play. The decor is awesome.
