I love arcade bars, and this place is a good one! Low-key, friendly, and a good value. This is a bar you can have fun playing games at, but is also casual enough to be a regular relaxing hangout. Cool place!

Nova West is an absolute gem of an arcade bar! The atmosphere is incredibly chill, making it a perfect spot to unwind while enjoying some nostalgia-inducing games. The staff truly goes above and beyond, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. My three kids had an absolute blast playing the old-school arcade games, and it was wonderful to see them so engaged and having fun. Whether you're a gamer or just looking for a laid-back place to hang out, Nova West has it all. Highly recommend!

Been busy apartment hunting today and have been looking forward to this place all day. Moved here from out of state. Walked in and wasn't greeted, instead stared at. My friend and I walked in and sat at a table waiting for a server. The bartender doesn't bother walking to us, instead yells behind the bar our server will be with us. We understood and waited another 5-10 minutes. The bartender the whole time hung out with his friends, even greeted people he knew. To make it less awkward, we decided to play some games. We played for about 15minutes. Selection of games are small. About 24 arcade games. Server never came so we had to talk to the bartender again and he finally took our order. Ordered wings and jalapeño poppers. They were good! Just sucked we had to wait. Bartender continued talking and hanging out with his friends and greeted people he knew that walked in.
Atmosphere was cool. Limited selection on games. Food was okay. Bartender sucked. Didn't feel welcomed to this new place. But whatever I guess. Wish service was better!

Avalanche fan visiting from TX, I came in hoping to find the game on TV, and was not disappointed. Nova West is a '90s time capsule, though prices on pinball and video games have been updated to the 21st Century. A nice collection of pinball machines in good working order. Beers are $5 but not a fan of the Red Leg Light Lager or the Amber. Didn't try their IPA. Hockey on TV and some patrons had selected the movie "The Mask" from the collection of DVDs available to watch from their library. The staff were all super friendly and the crowd was amiable and entertaining. As long as they keep those pinball machines running, this is my go-to bar in Colorado Springs whenever I'm in town!

I love that they open exactly when their website and door signs say they're open! Skee ball is fun and the bar staff is pretty neat too. Stop by if you like foot long hot dogs 💪

Cool place and decent food. Upped their prices on arcade games - pinball used to be 50 cents and is now 1$. Need to update their hours online. Stopped by today 1/24 as they showed online open at 3pm and brought my son to play games ( and usually are on Friday’s I’ve been before? ) but door was locked and staff just sitting inside looking back at us trying to open door.

I was told they just raised The price of pinball because Colorado Springs is a Sanctuary City. I prefer an establishment that doesn't have a prejudice attitude, and makes you fully aware of it from the start.
