Just like hoping back to the 80s. Love the vibe of this place. They also respect their community and workers. Great date night.

They got special deals every day of the week. And they give you some free tokens on your birthday week. 30 to 40 arcade games and 10 pinball machines, a few skee ball Machines. Not expensive at all. Me and my GF had tokens left over after 2 hours. Good time

It can get overbearing when it's too late, go early. Have a good time. Get out of there before the young people get there. Nothing against young people.

This place was awesome! I don't drink but I went here with a friend and I'm glad I did because the arcade was super fun and it was cheap! They don't charge super crazy for coins and every machine only requires one coin to play. The pizza was super fire although they didn't have any ranch or blue cheese which I found odd. They have a bouncer up front to watch the door and watch your coat. My buddy said the drinks were a good value and had a huge selection. All in all it was a blast.

Love the throwback arcade and pinball machines. Pros - enough space both indoor and outdoor year round. Heat lamps on the patio & open 365 years. The folks working here were all friendly. Neutral on - food option is pizza only, drink menu knowledge on the low end & $$$ drink prices for the atmosphere. Cons - limited to no table seating and potential to come across verbally loud people.

Such a fun spot to go solo, on a date, or with a group of friends. The games are all 1 token to play (equivalent of a quarter) and theres tons of variety; old school video games like donkey Kong and frogger, pinball, racing games, and more. The pizza is delicious! $6 gets you a huge, specialty slice, definitely worth it! They always have specials going like free tokens with a drink or buy one get one free for tokens depending on the day. Come check this place out!
This just ain't what it used to be I saw you doing your thang but thangs change and yall got left behind it's a joy vacum not a joy vortex happy people beware to keep your joy stay far away from here no way don't even try it stop reading this and find a better bar i promise you'll be happier JOY VACCUM DISGUSTING

Update: I'm now officially a super-regular and continue to recommend this place highly. For one thing, the bartenders are the friendliest anywhere. I love them. (Related: Beer selection is INSANE.) For another thing, the game tech is impressive. The ongoing work to keep the games in shape makes this more than a rickety nostalgia visit - the games work and are actually fun. To anyone in either of these roles (or both): Thank you!
Original review: As a child of the 70s, this place is right in my wheelhouse. I'd love to see the games rotate a bit more often and a greater emphasis on early games vs. stuff from the 90s, but overall they have a nice selection of games that are kept in good working order. Amazing selection of beers, too! I've come back again and again and they never disappoint. I love them.

this place is cheap with good pizza by the slice and lots of games. I just wish there were some more newer games and the ski ball lanes were all open when I went.
