Joystick Gamebar Reviews
Awesome place to drink and play games. They also have a great trivia night on Sundays and a Smash Brothers Tournament!
Joystick is one of my favorite places to go on Edgewood.

This was a fun place! Great customer service
Joystick Gamebar is a local establishment known for its great prices, friendly service, and unique retro-inspired atmosphere. The bartenders are helpful, and the venue offers a variety of classic arcade and pinball machines to keep guests entertained for hours. The atmosphere is laid-back, similar to a dive bar, with an outdoor smoking area and an enclosed space for smokers. The bar periodically rotates its arcade machines, featuring popular 80s and 90s multiplayer games, and has hosted pop-up restaurant concepts in the past.
The game selection is top-tier, with most games costing only a quarter. The drinks are fairly priced, and the venue offers additional entertainment options like karaoke and a photo booth. Customers praise the chill vibe and the variety of retro arcade games, fighting games, racing games, and shooters, as well as pinball, foosball, Jenga, and board games. The service can be a bit slow at times, especially when the bar is busy, but the laid-back atmosphere and the opportunity to enjoy games without the stress of a formal setting make Joystick Gamebar a unique and enjoyable experience.
