I only go to play pinball. So, I’ve never tried the food, but the drinks are great ! The only downside is the parking. It’s not even bad. Just hit and miss.

Abundant vintage arcade games and pinball. Full service bar with great bartenders, usually always have a DJ. Large outdoor patio! One of my favorite weekend spots

We came to visit and my brother and I are from Mexico, our friends wanted to take us here but as always we don't take our passports for security purposes, but every place we've been to in the last years we always show our Mexican ID. This new security guard refused to acknowledge literally where it says "age" in Spanish aka edad. because it says the year but not in a way it could be easily understood. Refused to listen and turned us away. It's a shame such a bar can't welcome enthusiasts from other countries, was really looking forward to it ):

It's a fun and nostalgic bar in a pretty chill part of the Arts District. The arcade rotation is a well thought out selection of hits and there's a ton of pinball. The outdoor area is an awesome place to hang. I kiiinda wish the music wasn't up so much on off nights.

Amazing selection of retro games and fantastic bartenders. The DJ's give this place a club vibe and make it that much more fun! I definitely recommend you go here if you've never been.

I am SO SAD AND DISAPPOINTED in this company, I experienced one of the most rude encounters of my life tonight. Me and another pinball enthusiast were playing games side by side at exactly 1:42, both having incredible scores, in the grove and everything! All of a sudden an employee comes up and says times up and proceeds to turn off our machines midst play without letting us finish or even finish the ball we were playing!!! After that we both got escorted and the employee who turned off my machine tried to grab my full beer straight out of my hands, turning into a game of tug of war! I have never been so dumbfounded. This establishment let me in, i ordered a drink and started playing ONE GAME of pinball to have my machine turned off during the middle of the single game I was playing. NOW IM STUCK WITH 20$ WORTH OF TOKENS and don't feel comfortable going back after such an unpleasant experience. Shame on this company. I hope they can help or at the very least hire employees who actually care to make a good impression of their business. I am thoroughly disappointed because there are several machines I would love to play but after tonight I do not know if I could go back, especially after having such a high score and having my machine turned off like I was a child.

A little too crowded for my tastes. Cool retro games BUT expect people to be hovering way too close for comfort behind you as they wait for you to finish. Wait for the bar on a Saturday night is ridiculous. It took way too long to order. If you like arcade games and beer, I think there are other, less chaotic places to try out.
It's alright. They have alcohol. The games are cheap to play, but if you're not into arcade games this isn't for you

Nothing more nostalgic for the millennial in me like a good old arcade bar. This place gets crowded at night, but early in the day is easy playing. Trade in some cash for tokens and you have the options to play video games or pinball. They serve cocktails and beers as well. Good service, clean, and well-kept!

I loved it, I'd like to see more arcades like the king of fighters or metal slug, it's a good place though.

Went on a Saturday night around 9pm. Place was crowded but we were able to get in without waiting. It's a fun bar and very nostalgic as an 80s baby. I feel like the tokens are reasonably priced. We didn't really have to wait long for any of the games. I like that they have an outdoor area if you want to get fresh air. That's different from many other bars. The drinks were ok. I tried the kill screen, dr Mario, princes peach and t&c. I couldn't really taste the peach in process peach. Dr Mario was good if you like mezcal. I think I liked kill screen the best with just a bit of kick from the jalapeno. They don't list all their cocktail options on the wall so don't forget to access their online menu using the QR code. The bar got really busy towards the end of the night but the bartenders were really patient. I didn't use the restroom but my friend said it was clean.
