There are a few of these types of places popping up. This one is a phenomenal concept. They have some game systems set up with more contemporary games, a ton of old school, and then there is pinball. Sorry no Mappy as of the writing of this review. Beer? They got it. Plenty to chose from. Come by yourself. Come with friends. Whatever, but this place is top notch. Pinball is not free.

The place is super cool! I was surprised they had a smash bros setup but also they have other consoles too. It's just a straight up bar though. I don't think I saw any food but definitely a fun place to go with the homies. The staff were really cool too. I definitely recommend visiting this spot!

I love this place!Great drinks, great service, and a wide variety of Retro Arcade games. What more could you ask for!?I've been several times and will be back for more.Very busy on weekends, I might recommend going on weeknights for a more personal experience.Would give 5 Stars but I've dealt with a couple faulty controllers here and there on the main consoles like the Switch and Super Nintendo. But don't let that stop you from having a great time!

My wife, brother-in-law, and I had a great time at Tappers. The video game selection was great, pinball is reasonably priced, and the selection of drinks was impressive. The staff we encountered were great, helpful, and fun. Definitely will be back.

Cool place to hangout! Great for bringing friends since there's plenty to do and similar to 16 bit but much more relaxed! Haven't had to wait long on drinks here and everyone is always friendly. Definitely a cool place that's worth checking out even if you're not into old arcade games.

I have heard about this place for many years. I finally got visit it this weekend. I was blown away. There are SO MANY retro arcade games to play, and the best part is that the games are free to play!!!!!! We spent about 3 hours there and only played maybe 10% of the arcade games. I can not wait to go back and play more!!!! The music was great, the drinks were good. Craft beer, domestic beer, mixed drinks, and cocktails available. There was hand sanitizer everywhere, which was comforting. There were also coat racks throughout the establishment, which were all being used. Highly highly recommend this place for date night or for a night out with friends.

I've been here twice; the first time I had an amazing experience - there were lots of games, the bar tenders were awesome, and the drinks were great. But the second time was a pretty bad experience - a lot of the games either didn't work well, or didn't work at all. I got a cocktail from the bar, took a sip and it wasn't very good. So I went back to the bar to see if I could get something else and the 3 bartenders were incredibly rude about it. They opted to argue with me, sizing it up to the fact that it's stored in a keg and "well that's just how it tastes". I ended up ordering a different drink that was much better. But when I went to pay my tab, they decided to charge me for that first cocktail that I only took one sip of. Definitely disappointing, I liked this place more then 16 bit. But after this experience I'll probably opt to go to 16 bit

First time visit. Brought back lots of memories, and a reminder that my game skills are low.
