Good mix of both vintage and newer pinball and arcade machines. Missing some classics but overall a decent selection.

Come for the games, stay for the cocktails and comfort food. The bar program rivals any place in Portland. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Always good music and events too. I mean who doesn't like a hot dog with Sauerkraut?
There's regular skeeball leagues, pinball tournaments, board games, card games, etc. It's an adult playground filled with nostalgia and friendly people. A must!

Cocktails are creative, made with unique ingredients and juices that are squeezed right in front of you. Prices are reasonable (about $12-16 per cocktail), but the product surpasses even the most upscale downtown bars. They also feature non-alcoholic craft drinks that make the environment that much more inclusive. The selection of arcade games is nice, too.

Awesome Arcade/Bar. Found it on pinball map app, and had to stop to get my fix while in town. With a nice bar, 2 floors, and a fantastic line up featuring brand new and classic games, it didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend if in the area!
So many excellent classic pinball machines, professional bartenders, and gorgeously crafted housemade drinks!
Dietary restrictions: Absolutely gorgeous, fresh pressed non-alcoholic beverages for people who don't consume alcohol!

This is more bar, than arcade, so let's get that straight. I went on a Friday night. The decor seems high-end with a few tables available for groups. The bartenders are pleasant, and the drinks are well-made. There are more pinball machines than any other games. I did not try the food, but they do also serve fresh squeezed juice.
