Abari is such a great spot. Lots of different drink selections, liquors, cocktails, beers, seltzers & N/A beverages. They do have a homemade hot pocket kind of thing made by a local company but that’s it for food inside. They usually have a food truck outside. Amazing selection of pinball machines and other games. They have a coin machine that you can use a card with. Games are reasonably priced and there’s a few free ones as well! The staff is great and friendly. Love Caitlyn behind the bar!! This place is maintained super well, always clean and they rotate out pinball machines so there’s always something new. I’ve been to a lot of barcades and nothing compares to Abari! I recommend coming in the evening on the weekends unless you don’t mind kiddos during the day!

I looked this place up on the pinball map and as soon as i walked in i noticed how shiny all the pinball machines were. Super well maintained. Great selection of brand New and older pinball machines (and arcade machines). Big shoutout to the techs that maintain them (they told me they pop in 3 times a week). If you like pinball(or arcade machines) i would defenitly recommend. PS. I also got my name on the leaderboard (Rezzer) 😁

Great place if you like to play pinball. They have an excellent collection of classics and the latest and greatest Sterns. Prices were very reasonable. I took my daughter on a Sunday afternoon and we both had a great time.

What a pleasant way to spend time with friends! Such a throwback arcade that reminds me of where everyone used to hangout in the late 70s/early 80s. We all had a great time and can’t wait for another game night!

I had an amazing afternoon here with my family while in town for a wedding. The bartender was awesome and recommended great restaurants around.
A diverse selection of arcade and pinball games with my top favorites: Deadpool, Godzilla, and Midevil Madness on the the floor. $10 in game tokens kept me busy for a while!
Abari is my favorite place/bar in Charlotte, hands down. My husband and I frequent it often; sometimes 3 times a week (we love pinball, etc). Every bartender that works there is so kind. The pinball/arcade machines are always in perfect working order. There’s always something new to do or some unique event going on. There’s usually a great food truck, or you can get a hot pocket at the bar. Perfect. Honestly, a home away from home that I’m beyond glad exists. Charlotte is so much better because of this place.

Great place! Loads of pinball and classic games. Drinks are reasonable and bartenders quick. Many classic games like Donkey Kong and Ms. Pac-Man are set to free play.
