Fun arcade bar! Awesome Sunday happy hour! Can't beat $4 drafts during NFL Sunday games!

Love that we have an arcade bar in Lodi. This place is fun! Only problem is some of the games. The air hockey table had so much sticky buildup that the puck would barely move. The puck would also get stuck inside the table when someone scored. We had to bang on the table for the puck to come out. Also, the striker had no felt left on the bottom so it was constantly sticking to the air hockey table too. The joy stick on Donkey Kong kept getting stuck when you’d move left. It was sticky too. Please unstick the games 🥲

I stopped by Q25 Arcade Bar & Lounge on a Monday evening around 7:15 PM, just after happy hour ended. The place was almost empty, with maybe six people inside. The bartender was friendly and the energy was relaxed, but it felt a little too quiet for a bar arcade.
Most of the games are vintage classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, and Centipede. They bring the nostalgia, but honestly, they’re starting to feel outdated. Other patrons have mentioned the same thing online, and I agree. Adding more interactive or modern games could help make the space more engaging.
One major issue is the lack of cup holders or benches near the games. It was hard to enjoy playing while holding a drink. A few people on Yelp have mentioned this too. Just a small ledge or place to set your drink would make a big difference.
The décor felt a bit off. The pixelated posters pasted around the bar look cheap and don’t add much to the vibe. While the concept is fun, the execution feels like it needs more thought and refinement.
Other reviews highlight the bar as a clean and friendly spot, and I’d agree with that. But the drink selection was basic, and the place seemed to lack energy. A weekly Monday special or themed night could help bring in a bigger crowd.
Overall, Q25 has potential. The bartender was great, the layout is spacious, and the concept could really work with some updates. For now, I’d say it’s a decent local spot to check out, but it needs a few key improvements to become a go-to hangout.
3 out of 5 stars.

The staff was great especially the security door person. The drinks were priced fairly. The place is cool. My gripe is with the play time. It wasn't a good value. The basketball game felt like a minute for $1. NBA jam wasn't much better. It took away from the experience. The games should be a lot cheaper or provide longer playing time. I didn't see very many people playing and this is probably why. I played Contra and died quickly which wasn't fun. You have to keep in mind it's a bar and your patrons aren't very alert. Games should be easier, if that's possible, but definitely cheaper. Only house of the dead felt enjoyable and I could get some playing time in. That's just my two cents.

This gaming arcade bar absolutely delivers! The atmosphere is electric with cool, eye-catching artwork that sets the tone as soon as you walk in. The music is solid—not too loud, not too soft, just the right vibe to keep your energy up while gaming or grabbing a drink. Bonus points for the photo booth, which adds a fun way to commemorate the night with friends. Great mix of nostalgia and modern flair. Definitely worth a visit (or three)!
Sorry, no pics, the wife and i got swept in the moment.

This was my first time here and it was honestly so much fun! I went with a group of five total and we all had an amazing time!
The game selection was diverse, yet limited. Pinball is my all time favorite, so them having some good machines was a plus. Would be nice if they had a few more of the classic arcade machines though.
The drinks, though a bit expensive at times, were solid. I got two drinks off the main menu (Squirtle and the Gin and Sonic), one regular drink (screwdriver), and a happy hour drink (boozy root beer). All but the gin and Sonic were fantastic. I didn’t enjoy the gin and Sonic that much, but I’m also not a huge gin drinker.
Overall, this was such a fun experience with my friends for a Saturday night and would 100% recommend checking out this place. Staff is friendly, the vibes are awesome, and the games are nostalgic.
Good place to go on a date .... But... Some of the arcades are broken. Oh and they took my money 😭... Not much but enough to get me upset 😔...

My husband and I had a great time. We came during happy hour on Sunday, so the drinks were cheaper, $10 for 2 cocktails. Then we changed $10 into some quarters for an hour of fun. You definitely need cash to play the games, and they have a lot of classic options, Ms. Pacman, Galaga, etc. and some great pinball machines.

Best combination of Mortal Kombat fanatics and beer drinkers. Even tho they only have MK2, it was still fun playing without any issues with the buttons and joystick. The machine worked really well and also the pinball machines that have side drink holders. I originally came to check the price of Heineken beer, but they didn't have it, sadly. Other than that, the bartender was nice, and the beer and mixed drinks were cheap at the time. I would definitely come back again.
