The environment here was great from the moment we walked in until we left. This is somewhere I've always wanted to go to that I never knew existed. Heading back here every time I'm in Boston from now on.

Dave is the best bartender i’ve ever had! He is very attentive even in a crowded bar! He is very knowledgeable about drinks and the menu and is very friendly!

Outstanding bar. Genuinely some of the most fun I've ever had at a bar in my life. The arcade games are super affordable, managers/staff are so fun, and there's always someone wanting to play a video game with you.10/10, this will be a new spot I bring lots of friends.

Literally more than half of the games are broken in some way. 2 out of 3 skeeball labes are broken, buegertime is broken, donkey kongs stick is fubar, time crisis 3 tucked in the corners guns dont register half the time, dig dugs pump button on the right doesnt work, Simpsons arcade is off, blitz is off. Only thing that looks oike its working okay are the pinball machines and smash bros on the bar tv. But if i wanted to play smash i can do that at home. I dunno man. Cool idea, but fix your stuff. Would not cost that much to maintain what is essentially 10 arcade cabs.

Very fun arcade bar that is just $5 for unlimited play! A perfect cheap date night to try your hand at pinball, and classics like pacman and skee ball. Went on a Sunday night and it was busy but not so busy that we couldn't play every game we wanted by nights end. Fun atmosphere with a dj playing low key techno beats while the bar hosted 4 TVs for a super smash bros tourney. Didn't get any food so can't comment but it looked decent, not there is not a ton of table space here though. Had some good beers on tap, even a stout which is hard to find. It was $9 for a solidly good pint but i was disappointed that it was also $9 for a bottle of Corona- stick with the good beer on tap for the same price!

Love this place! It has everything a nerd like me could want. Pinball machines, skeeball, and Mario Kart!! Plus fun game themed drinks?!? Yes please. We were only in town for 5 days and went twice. If you're looking for a fun night, this is the place to go!

Great spot to decompress with coworkers after work, chill with friends at night, or meet new people over games. The inside is unique and nostalgic. There are arcades on either side, with a bar in the middle, but you can also play games on the screens at the bar, which I found more fun. I love that the workers there join in on the fun. All of the workers are chill, and the head bartender in particular is super friendly and attentive.Food offerings include typical bar food. Nothing mind blowing, but food is typically not what you are going for when you go to a bar. I liked the steak & cheese rolls and vanilla milkshake. The Tai-Bo cocktail was also pretty good—sweet at first but hits you after a bit. The wings were a bit salty, and the sliders are mid.Overall, I had a fun time!

$5 cover for a variety of games, good drinks, great service, and great music too! The hot spot for fellow nerdy gamer types ❤️

Versus is great!! if I recall correctly, once you pay the cover all the games are free — including the PS4/switch games above the bar! Games above the bar is such a good idea btw; i got to beat a bunch of strangers as hugh neutron in modded smash so i cannot

$5 entry for unlimited games and then you can separately order food and drinks at the bar. We didn't get any food ourselves because we'd just eaten and that wasn't a problem.They have pinball machines, some classics like Mario Bros and Asteroids, a shuffle board table, skeeball, basketball connect 4, a handful of consoles you can play at the bar and a few others.Fun time, will go again with friends for beers and games.

We had our rehearsal dinner at VERSUS and had a spectacular time. Dro was fantastic and responsive in coordinating our event — he even went above-and-beyond by getting approval for a few toddlers to stay past 7pm. The rental pricing was very reasonable, the food was excellent, and the service on the day was impeccable: our guests are still raving about the venue!
