Fun games and cheap. Super bad and weird drinks. Stick to water. Horrible food. Eat before you go. Other than that, it's okay.

This place could be great. Improve the game maintenance. Staff is minimal and aren't very helpful. We had fun, but it could have been a blast. The next time in Orlando we found another place with much better arcade games, drink, food and staff.

Perfect for the rainy day or any day here in orlando! This place is amazing offers unlimited games for 7-8$ a person and the beer selection is off the charts with Atleast 50+ selections of anything you are looking for from sours,IPA,ciders,Etc... The games are mostly retro but they do infact have consoles at the bar which you can play smash bros and Mario katt and several other awesome games while you drink which is a super unique concept. The bar tenders were great and I got some ales that I've never even seen before like the pink watermelon sour or the warhead sours (yes from the candy co) This is an excellent place to spend time in Orlando that is not a theme park and it's budget friendly with very tasty beers 10/10 I would recommend to stop by!

Great spot for a fun night night on the weekdays. Bartenders were cool. I thought it was awesome the xbox consoles at the bar were connected to the internet to play games on xbox live. Great selection of craft brews!

My friends and I came here to have a nice time together in Orlando, but majority of the games were not working, the "cocktails" as listed on their WEBSITE were non existent , there was only beer. It is very run down and needs upgrading... The lady in the front was very kind and helpful, but the people working in the bar area when it was time to close were very rude yelling at us to "get the f**k out" while we were walking towards the door. This place was advertised as a cool retro arcade bar with cocktails and we got none of that, the best thing here was their vending machine that has funny mystery items. Other than that, won't be returning here.

The be honest with you I hated this place the moment I walked in the first thing I did was go to the bar to grab a drink I was almost instantly disgusted. After that I wanted to play some games, I didn’t think it could get worse all the machines were busted up. Finally the staff is terrible they were rude the whole time I was there.

This place is great!!! I never played a game as much as I did during our visit. The staff were great. If you love retro games and a little drink and no kids allowed. It a fun afternoon for adults!
I hate that I even have to write this review because I've always considered this one of my favorite bars. But the service and overall business has gone downhill in the recent years. A third of the games were broken and the staff at the front said it's expensive to have the games fixed (ie guitar hero) which has been broken for as long as I can remember. If you're not going to put effort and pride into your business then the people are going to notice and stop showing up. I would hate for that to happen. Fix your games! Dragon lair and guitar hero have been broken for as long as I can remember and there are several others. DO BETTER!! Invest more money in your business!!

Everything was dirty and the drinks were horrid. Some guy who I think was the owner smelled horrible and definitely has some anger issues. Terrible service also...
Having visited this place in the past and had a good experience, I gave this place a recent visit and it feels like the place could use a bit of tending to by the owner or revision in their practices to return this place to the good experience I know they're capable of producing.The staff is where this place still shines and they are excellent and were always quick with my order and set reasonable expectations on when food would be ready after ordering it and also providing a friendly and playful demeanor whenever I interacted with them.The pricing on the drinks seemed on-par with other places in the area so not much to say here on that.I did find a number of their machines were unavailable to play or appeared to be in some need of maintenance. If y'all need a tech to help with repairs, I'm open for freelance work.I understand the logistics of maintaining game hardware like controllers used by the public is by no means an easy challenge, but when controllers were made available they felt very poorly constructed and poorly cared for. An example of this were Switch controllers with no rubber on the analog sticks and the shell flexing inwards from even light pressure from gripping the controller (which a standard Pro controller would not do). This might be a result of a cost-saving measure by the owners, but it creates a negative experience regardless and the owners should weigh on this to decide if they can find a way to improve in this area.The cabin placement and a lack of places to put drinks and food while playing them were also an issue. I think this is an area where the owner could easily improve the quality-of-life experiences at their establishment by simply attaching drink holders to the cabinets and spacing out the cabinets to accommodate them instead of placing signs telling customers not to place drinks on them. I don't believe their intent is to be hostile toward their customers, but those signs definitely don't feel like the solution to the problem they're intended to solve.I also noticed the TVs at the bar were suffering from signal degradation from their video source they were boosting causing the video signal at the TV to cut out periodically. This could be indicative of a faulty Ethernet cable used in their setup or excess EMF interference from other hardware near the cabling. If the owner is open to it, I would be glad to come by and discuss this in more detail with them as this is something that could be an easy fix for them if they can determine where the cause of the issue is.Outside those issues, this place as it currently stands isn't great if you're going by yourself, but if you're going as a group it tends to be better suited as it's easier to overlook these issues I outlined. If the owner could improve the quality of life of their gaming area, this would be a great place to go if you're going by yourself as well.

If you're into retro games and craft beers, it's a cool place. As others have pointed out, go in expecting several of the games to be out of order.If you want some fun reading material, sort the reviews for this place by lowest first and read how the owner publicly responds to criticism.

I'll start the review by saying the only reason I didn't give 1 star is because I never ended up purchasing any drinks when I came here. I stopped here a while back while on the road and visiting Orlando and didn't quite have the time to stop for a drink and I was about to hit the road for another couple hours to drive back home, but the atmosphere here seemed quite nice and I loved the games that I saw they had. Seemed like a nice place to spend a few hours at.I was going to come back and spend some time & money here the next time I was in Orlando but that doesn't seem like it'll happen after seeing how nasty & rude the owner is to negative reviews on here. Anything that isn't 4-5 stars is subject to insults and offensive trash-talking customers with even valid, not-so-serious opinions about certain things this place could improve on.I by no means believe the customer is always right, in fact they're wrong quite often, but the insults they're throwing towards people reviewing their business is just unacceptable and quite sad to see. I would have loved to spend some time here but I don't think I'd be able to support a business like this unless it comes under new management at some point. And if it already is under new management at the time of this review being posted, I'll retract everything I've said if it no longer applies.I expect I'll be met with a similar nasty response from the owner for posting this review.Despite this review, I hope nothing for the best for this owner and the business as a whole and I hope one day I can revisit and spend some more time here when the owner has calmed down a bit and decides to stop insulting previous customers.
